You know that feeling when you get REALLY excited about a new piece of gym equipment, pair of shoes, or fitness programming only to find out that it...sucks?
I know we do; getting burned like this DOES suck.
Lucky for you, we get burned so you don't have to! We also scour through fitness products, new and timeless, to find hidden gems and other items you may have overlooked.
Whether you're in the market for something as simple (but oh so necessary) as workout socks or something as important as your home gym's centerpiece rig, check with us before hitting "buy"!
If you’re familiar with GORUCK, the first things that comes to mind when you think about the brand are there unique, durable, and iconic ruck sacks.
This is undisputed and objective (if you disagree, fight me).
…but if you’re a shoe guy, the GORUCK Ballistic Trainers are probably always invading your thoughts (hence why you’ll click on my GORUCK Ballistic Trainers review!)
One constant in rucking is that you spend a lot of time on your feet. Take part in an official GORUCK event, and you’re likely to spend hours in your selected shoes or boots. As such, you really want to make sure you’ve selected the “right” footwear.
At those distances, you really don’t want to get caught rucking in the “wrong” pair of shoes or boots!
There isn’t much that can be said about dips that you (probably) don’t already know about, so I’m not going to go to the mat in convincing you to do them.
You’re going to read this article so you can find the best dip bars for home and so that you can become one of those jacked dudes doing crazy stuff down at the playground (preferably when children aren’t around).
You know that girl in the gym who is constantly adjusting her shorts?
You don’t want to be that girl.
Even if you are alone in your garage and there’s nobody to see you pulling down that wedgie.
You have any of those ~40-year-old guys in your life who are just like, “ohhhh…I’m old now. I can’t do that,” after roughly 7 minutes of light volleyball at some kind of friendly gathering?
Yeah…the bad news is, you probably do (don’t we all!) The good news? They simply can’t use those types of excuses anymore.
These excuses don’t mix with the Barbell Rx.
Today, I’m going to provide insight into what the CrossFit Level 1 certification course is all about, to include brief discussions of content, the instructors, and who this seminar is right for.
Hopefully, this will inform your decision before you decide to shell out ~$1000-plus for a weekend of CrossFit!
The illustrations seem so simple and the Olympic weightlifting concepts presented seem so “basic”.
…but that is why they are effective!
Although I think this book is definitely best used in conjunction with Leo’s online coaching service, it can also be a very good introduction to Olympic Weightlifting for the solo lifter.
I’m actually somewhat upset that I’ve “slept” on this Guide for so long. Its a free resource that has more and better content than 95 percent of paid CrossFit/fitness resources I’ve come across before.
Is the CrossFit Level 1 Training Guide The most comprehensive CrossFit-related written work out there? One could certainly make that argument!
