Looks like all they have left are XLs, otherwise I'd probably get one - that's an unbelievable price.

I don't know if I ever mentioned that I bought the "Kensui Fitness" pull-up handles (kensui = 'pull-ups' in Japanese fwiw) for the garage gym for Christmas. The lad and I are using them quite a bit and they are solid!

I have a pair of hooks that I use for power band deadlifts when travelling. A couple of rated load straps and my hooks yield a workable pull up system that packs down small.. . I was reminded of it by the Kensui handles.

Gah, the spending was too much over the past year or so, but this (hopefully) will be my last purchase for quite a while:
Nice.
A client has their 12" - 24" adjustable box. Excellent.

Let me just say that a 12" box is quite low for box squatting. When I was 20 years younger, a 10" box was doable. Now, the 12" box.... I'm not sure I'm going to be using it that often, except as maybe a mobility tool and maybe Bulgarian split squats, etc.

I like the rhythm games and minigames more than the main adventure game.
On my work from home days I do go for walks in the neighborhood on breaks from the computer, and will continue to walk outside. This is just a fun alternative, especially if I think a coworker might ping me on the team chat any minute.

I see it's chained so it can't bark at other kettlebells and possibly jump out of the car window!!

Will be placing an order today for some Darn Tough socks for rucking.

I've been looking for a big strength implement, like maybe an old barrel full of dirt or a keg, but found a great sandbag at a great deal. I loaded it up with 220lbs of sand and was like, "I should be able to handle this, I throw heavyweights in grappling all the time." What a fool i was. All I could really do with it is break it from the ground a few times. So I took out about 70bs worth of sand and am now practising shouldering it from the ground.
And after the thread here, I assembled one of those Steve Justa "king of all exercises" weighted shovels and have been hoisting that into the air.
It's weird to be hoisting external implements again, but it's fun.

I didn't want to take any chances after the stories I've heard about what they do to postmen

Around here in the winter months, a lot of stores sell 70lb "socks" of sand that people put in the back of pickups - they're like $10 or less I think. You can always throw 2 or three of those into an old Army surplus duffle bag for sandbag work or as a really heavy and uncomfortable ruck.

Not a recent purchase, but finally giving it a solid run. Green Protocol, specifically Capacity to start as I did not meet the 6 miles in under 60 minutes threshold. Just a few minutes short.

My 20kg KB just arrived. I am currently in Turkey and we don’t have many great alternatives except the last brand that I have ordered. Since I don’t see them competing with any brands including SF KBs I will comfortably recommend them to anyone living in Turkey.
Gymholix online store. Great product relative to other alternatives in Turkey.
The one on top is 20 kg gymholix, bottom is from the second best brand in the country kingbox.
No scratches, beefy handle (their 16 kg has the same width w their 20kg) solid painting.
I am happy.
Ps: I have pressed it immediately after I open the box. An example of a beginner who could only press a shaky 8kg improving his press through only TGU’s to not shaky 20 kg. Of course mostly due to fixing mobility and stability issues but just saying
No presses just TGUs
