RitFit M1 vs PSR05 – Our Review

The M1 is definitely a more “complete” piece of equipment. Being fully capable of accommodating free weight, Smith Machine, and cable pulley exercises ensures that just about anybody would wear themselves out long before they ran out of exercises to try.

However, the PSR05 is a pretty nice basic Smith Machine, with included accessories and overall accessory compatibility putting it a few steps ahead of other “standard” Smith Machines.

The GORUCK INGRESS Events – Our Experience

The GORUCK/Ingress partnership is an interesting one. “The Rucking Company”, (now also partnered with “The Sport of Fitness”) along with a cell phone video game.

Yeah…interesting.

Adidas The Total – Our Review

The Total are one of Adidas’ numerous forays into powerlifting shoes. Unlike their other options, they boast a completely flat sole, appealing to the barefoot lifting audience.

As a mid-range speciality shoe, they do a lot of what you expect them to do and can even pinch hit if you want to rock them during metcons involving deadlifts or bodyweight movements.

The ATX Camo Bar – Our Review

I wouldn’t choose the ATX Camo bar as my home or garage gym’s centerpiece. I also wouldn’t recommend that Camo bar to my powerlifting buddies.

That being said, you might think the Camo bar is a “bad” barbell to be avoided at all costs. Nothing is further from the truth.

The KingsBox C Bar: Our Review

I have had the opportunity to use many of different KingsBox products over the last few years, to include a few different barbells. Currently, my primary training barbell is the company’s The C-bar.

The RitFit BLP01 Leg Press/Hack Squat Machine – Our Review

The RitFit BLP01 (referred to as simply the BLP01 in the article) is a budget-friendly specialty machine from a newer fitness brand. Only being marketed as being useful for leg presses and hack squats, you would think it would be pretty hard to mess this up?

Right?

Right!
