Loading up on a bunch of gear is REALLY fun, but getting fit, whether at the local globo gym or in your beloved garage or basement gym, is the whole point of it all. Thankfully, we love discussing things like workout tips and nutrition essentials as much as we like breaking down the specs of the newest power rack.
In this section, you'll find information on everything from general fitness to more sport-specific interests, most notably CrossFit, Olympic Weightlifting, powerlifting, and rucking.
...because...it's much better when you actually USE all of that equipment than turning it into glorified clothing racks!

…but it has other benefits as well…
The hex bar makes a nice addition to your garage gym “arsenal” and for those susceptible to low-back stress, can be used in a number of alternative movements.

Enter The Chipper WOD.
They are almost always challenging, but never to the point that you feel like you have to quit. So you just keep going…and going…and going…chippin’ your way to CrossFit glory!

Have fun!
Battle ropes, man…
