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.

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.

…so…why not squat and deadlift in the same workout session?

The ATX Gold bar markets itself as a “powerlifting barbell”…

NOBull Cupsole Trainers – Our Review
I never had allusions that the NOBULL Cupsole Trainers would become my new “go-to” training shoes, I was excited to see what the hype (or, to be honest, lack thereof, given their relationship with CrossFit) was all about.
