20 Best Cardio For Powerlifters (2022 Updated)

These are my first pair of lifting straps and they work as intended. I’m able to transfer the weight of the bar onto my forearms since I don’t have the best grip strength. The straps also act as a grip for my hands so it doesn’t hurt when I pull heavy anymore.

The quality is amazing, feels very durable. Will definitely buy again if this pair ever wears down.

I commonly see a lot of fitness influencers use these for almost all of their pulling movements and they always explained that when your forearm is the limiting factor for your lifts, you should purchase them.

They were right. All of my back movements went up 5-10 pounds and my deadlifts and RDLs went up around 15 or so. If you have trouble gripping onto the bar or if you feel your forearms working more than your back or legs, it’s time to buy these.

These straps are a quality design that provide an excellent benefit to anyone going through a hellacious pull day. Stitching is good and doesn’t cut in or cause discomfit on the wrist, design is simple and sharp.

Some straps on the market are very rigid and course. These are definitely softer and flexible, easier to pull tight when you’re locked into a big lift.

I tried the budget versions before this one, but they’re just so tiny I felt like I was going to fall over just trying to get onto them. If you’re looking for the ones that gyms use – this is it. Pros: Large stable platform.

I weigh 275 and it didn’t even blink when I stood on it. It’s so large you won’t misplace it. Great for improving balance and strengthening your ankles/knees/hips in a low impact fun way. There are a ton of videos on youtube showing you exercises you can do on it PLUS the product pamphlet included has a link to a free DVD download and wall chart download so you can get the most out of your balancer.

Gym quality without the monthly fee. Cons: Difficult to get the ‘plug’ in to seal it up after you blow it up because the rubber gasket material surrounding the hole is highly flexible. It’s heavy (it’s only slightly a con because in order to be sturdy it makes sense that it’s heavy).

It’s expensive – however – again it’s a trade off. If I pay for gym membership but I don’t go (especially during COVID) then I’m wasting my $. At least this way I have something to show for my $ and I don’t have to go anywhere to use it.

Occasionally, I notice some fitness items that look good but that wind up become more novel than helpful. I was in my local Target Store not long ago but during the point of the self-quarantine when things were getting pretty scarce.

I was looking for an exercise ball to help my son and daughter with their training and noticed the BOSU NexGen Balance Trainer. I hadn’t had any experience with it nor did I have much knowledge about it.

It was a quite a bit more than I intended to pay but all of the other exercise balls were sold out. In fact, the stock in the fitness section was non-existent. I left the store without purchasing it but made note of it.

I came back within the next two weeks and there were still no exercise balls, but the BOSU was still there. I looked over the packaging a bit more and noticed all of the training options. It got me to realize that this might be better than the exercise ball I originally thought I wanted.

Combined with the fact that my Target had it for good price and I decided to take a chance, purchase it and I’m glad I did. It was very simple to put together but the material is very rugged and practical.

I use a variety of equipment to stay in shape but had nothing like the BOSU. The half dome air filled concept as well as the training techniques and tutorials from the BOSU site helped me to realize that this system is extremely ideal for cardio, core and overall fitness and would help me to avoid unnecessary injuries.

My daughter and wife loved it right away and I’ve not yet gotten my son to test it out but I know he will enjoy it when he’s convinced he can switch up from his normal routine. I love it, too. I find it very accessible and effective for abdominal exercises, squatting, stretching, push-ups, bounding, balancing, and exercises requiring coordination and balance.

It is a great supplement to what I already do and I’m making it a staple to the training I currently do. I was pleasantly surprised in using the BOSU NexGen Balance Trainer and realize that it is a versatile, safe and very helpful piece of equipment that will help me to stay in shape as I approach 50 years of age.

Already knew I really liked the half ball Bosu from using it in physical therapy. With the assistance from my 70 pound Airedale Terrier I managed to loose the plug. Had everything on my bed reviewing directions then in a split second Gracie jumps on my bed.

Everything went airborne and plug hasn’t been seen since. Called customer service to buy a replacement. Was honest about what happened to the plug. The customer service rep offered to send a replacement out tomorrow.

I asked if I could purchase the plug removal tool because I have Rheumatoid arthritis. The rep told me she would include the tool at no charge. On top of giving me the tool and plug she is going to talk with her associates to find videos for me.

I’ve had 6 spine surgeries and need to work on specific issues. Can’t go wrong buying anything from Bosu!.

Provides some of the more commonly used weights, is compact, and generally feels really high quality when you’re using it. As others have said, it doesn’t rattle, and the dial is easy to rotate to switch between weights.

The design looks very sleek, and the plates inside can be used for other exercises which is very handy. The handle is sleek, but if you have lifting gloves you won’t have any issue gripping it no matter how sweaty your hands are underneath.

The only downside? Because the weights inside. well, occupy space, the bottom half of the weight is bulky. For certain exercises (e. g. , deadlifts), it’ll limit your range of motion quite a bit – although if you have a step, you can work around this! In summary: a great fitness tool, whether or not you have a space limitation, that gets the job done – even if it is a little bulky.

Purchased this as part of my new year commitment to finally getting back in shape. Like a lot of us, the pandemic really put a pause to a lot of my fitness goals. I was excited to purchase the kettle bell (along with the adjustable dumbbells) and my partner and I absolutely love them.

They’re both so easy to use and it feels great to finally lift weights. We’re even happier with how little space the occupy (our gym space is fairly tiny so we needed to really think about what we should purchase).

I can tell I’ll keep using the kettlebell for years to come. I can’t come up with any complaints! This is perfect for your home gym and you’ll get a great workout. #sweepstakes.

Having used cloth jumping ropes in the past, as well as pvc coated wire I was pleased at the build quality of the ropes. I felt that dipping a toe in and going with the starter set was preferable to jumping all the way in and going with the heavier set.

Were I to do it all over again I would definitely go with the heavier set, the heavier (presumably thicker) handles. I jump on a rubber exercise mat and this has worn down the exterior of the white 1/2 lb.

rope. This could have possibly affected the overall weight of the rope. While it’s not ideal I continue to work with my rope daily amounting to about 6 hours max / week, wear is bound to happen. Is it faster than I might expect with other ropes? Possibly.

Why I would go with the heavier handles? The handles as they’re currently constructed get very slick after prolonged use. As I typically do intervals I wipe them off in between sets which solves the problem for the most part, but I would likely benefit from a (likely) greater diameter and thicker construction of the “power handles.

” It would also lend to my hand size. Overall I am a happy customer. The construction is solid, there are a couple quirks and I would change a couple things in hindsight.

Hey y’all. let me just say- it feels absolutely wonderful to be doing a workout which I love! After many years of unsuccessful attempts at weight loss as well as trying to find something I love- I was just about ready to throw in the towel for good.

That is, giving up on myself completely. and life as I know it. It wasn’t until one day, I came across the JRD brothers videos on YouTube- and then you know Google in it’s creepy sort of way read my mind (LOL) and started showing me CROSSROPE advertisements.

Then after getting hit with some many of these videos, I realized I sort of had an epiphany and hence embarked on my research. Well long story short- one thing led to another- and here we are with my CROSSROPE at home! I certainly did have my doubts realizing that it was too good to be true like every other thing that’s happened to me so far haha, like “no this can’t be!”.

A lot of people thought I was crazy for buying something quite expensive, but it wasn’t until I started using it and studied it’s making that I truly understood that it was worth every penny. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every workout so far.

I’ve managed to get my life back again and I’m currently at about 259 lb. (belly area weight mostly) I’ve noticed that my muscles in my back and abs were starting to get stronger and my waddling (due to lack of proper fitness) has significantly improved and as said- my agility, strength, proprioception as well as overall cardio has been improving.

Being a doctor myself- I must say this is one of the best forms of exercise I’ve come across that works for overweight people like myself, because it’s not only easy on the knees but it also gives us a jumpstart on our fitness journey- thereby giving us a sense of hope and a new found freedom.

Thank you guys for engineering this beautifully well constructed piece that gave me another chance at my health and my life. Best wishes! I look forward to investing in more from this company in the future.

I was skeptical at first, I’m basically a [self proclaimed] professional jump roper at this point (Shout out to my elementary school days and Jump Rope for Heart) but I will say these ropes are NO JOKE! I lift heavy, ride bikes, crush the Peloton leaderboard and for what? None of that leaves my body completely sore like Crossrope.

I used the 1/2 pound for my jump rope challenge (1k a day) and woke up the next morning feeling like I boxed Ali. If you want a convenient, efficient, quick workout. buy these ropes. You can take them anywhere! You can find me on any given day, jumping on the greenway – Shelly Lake, North Hills and Crabtree you name it – I’m there.

I’ve now convinced my co-workers to jump with me so we’re all feeling the burn. Buy these ropes, you won’t regret it. It might be time to invest in these mats because at the rate that i’ve been swinging these ropes – the rubber is really meeting the road.

I shopped around to find a good deal on the Reebok step, as after some research I realised I wanted a good quality step not a cheap alternative. It’s expensive, but worth it! I feel confident jumping on and off this, and appreciate having a full sized step for a range of activities rather than a mini step.

Am seriously missing the gym during lockdown, but only having a small house, I was trying to find something that would be versatile and help fit in a bit of exercise without getting in the way. I keep this in the kitchen, and use it to reach the top shelves and also squeeze in some quick extra steps while making a cuppa! (As well as for full step workouts!).

Great quality step, very sturdy, doesn’t move around like cheaper versions. Adjustable height, for more advanced exercise. Great work out, helps fitness and definitely helps lose those extra kilo’s

Had one 27 years ago!! Used it a lot, so I wanted to recapture my love of Step so had to buy Reebok again. Nothing else will do still as sturdy and awesome as it always was. Im not able to get past the warm up yet but I will get back to full fitness because I love this!!.

My current equipment consist of adjustable dumbbells 2. 5 lbs up to 52. 5 lbs. Searching for a way to level up my strength training setup my choices were to invest $400 in new adjustable dumbbells or find a way to increase the challenge of my current dumbbells.

I chose to increase the challenge of my current equipment and began a journey in blending my adjustable dumbbells with these Synergee Power Resistance Bands. By combining the two my total potential load increased from 105 lbs to 370 lbs for less than $50! After 6 months of inspired training.

this has been a game changer! The only issue I have had is with durability. After 6 months of use, almost daily, the black band and the yellow band started to show signs of wear and tear. After a phone call a customer representative instructed me to email photos of the damage, which I did.

Within a week they sent me a new set of bands! They were still under a 1 year (12 month) warranty. The value of the bands, the durability (standing up to 6 months of daily grinding), and the security of this company standing behind there product.

make this a dynamic choice. Adding value for anyone’s home training system (especially for home barbell and dumbbell owners)!.

Are these the best resistance bands on the market? Probably not but A. They’re available and B. Reasonably priced. We bought these a couple of years ago to assist with varying reps of pull-ups and they held up fine but this year with COVID-19 we started using them for more things in our home workouts and we did break the 2 middle ones.

TWICE. That’s probably to be expected. We were happy enough with the product to purchase a replacement set. Don’t have much to compare them to, only set we d ever purchased. The gym that has reopened has Rogue bands and they seem very similar.

Maybe they’re a tad sturdier but that also could be because we are sort of conditioned to think Rogue is the good standard because they’re so expensive. We will likely buy these again.

After researching numerous types of resistance bands I chose Synergee based on good quality and their customer service. Every review had a response from customer service and if their were any issues then the company took care of it! That made me feel like I can trust it is a good product! Anyways, I got these as a present and have been using them for about a week.

The material is good and the variety of workouts I can do is amazing! I can now get quality workouts done in the comfort of my home. Only issue I had was the package came with the black, blue, and green bands.

The sticker on the package said it was a pack of 4. So, it was missing the yellow band. I will work through customer service in this.

Nice handle that is easy to grip. This is my fourth Yes4All kettlebell. I currently have a 35 lb. , 40 lb. , 45 lb. , and 50 lb. Yes4All kettlebell that I have acquired over the years as my strength has increased.

I can literally say that the kettlebell workouts saved my life! I was ejected off of a 15-foot A-frame ladder by tree limb that catastrophically broke while I was trimming a tree last year. I suffered two brain bleeds, all of my ribs (front and back) were broken, all of the transverse processes on my vertebrae were broken, and I fractured my right acetabulum.

With the exception of the acetabulum (which required reconstruction and a plate), all of my bones stayed in-place and aligned due to my superior core strength. The doctors directly attributed my core strength and overall fast recovery to the kettlebell workouts I had been performing for years prior to the accident.

They said that if I hadn’t been working out, my outcome could have been quite different. I heartily endorse kettlebell training and believe the Yes4All kettlebells are the best value for the price.

I searched just about everywhere for kettlebells for my commercial gym and the best price was on these. I ordered sets of two from 5lbs through 30lbs and was surprised when I found out that they were going to be shipped via USPS.

Two days later they were delivered. The handles are sufficient in size to accommodate even larger hands. The bottoms are flat so they all stay on the kettlebell rack without any issues. They have like a powder-coat finish which is what I was hoping for; I didn’t want anything too glossy for fear that they would be slippery once you started to sweat.

Also there were no burrs or sharp points along the handles that might tear into your skin while using. I was very impressed with the overall quality, especially at the price point. If I need more of these I would definitely buy them again.

Extremely poorly finished. I should have listened to the reviewers. I already have two other kettlebells from other brand. But I jumped on it as the tools are in complete shortage right now. 1000% regretting my purchase, I should have waited longer if I knew I’d receive such a bad product.

To make things worse, the wrapping is terrible!!! (see the pic) This is on Walmart. I’m waiting for my 24kg kettlebell arriving tomorrow, now I’m scared to think about how bad the condition is. Overall, I’m extremely unhappy, I shouldn’t have purchased this brand, from Walmart.

I want to love this product but I just can’t due to the fact that it constantly goes flat. Unless you have the time to air it back up before every use save your money. I love the product itself. There are so many benefits to working on balance and this is one of the greatest tools I have found for that.

However, I wouldn’t have bought it now knowing how quickly it deflates. If you air it up correctly, it will last about 48 hours max indoors in Missouri. I will probably try a balance board or one of the balance foam pieces instead.

I hadn’t heard of vibration plates before they showed up on Zulily. I’m working on overcoming de-conditioning following recovery from surgery and a lot of inside-time during Covid. I read articles. I watched YouTube videos.

I looked at a cross-section of reviews. Vibration plates are recommended by physical therapists, the positive effects are supported by research, using them isn’t difficult, and Lifepro is a respected brand.

I’ve used mine twice, incorporating easy exercises I found online, and fifteen minute workouts at low speed leave me a little sore, but not feeling injured.

I have had my Lifepro Rumblex Plus 4D a week and I absolutely love it!!! The only regret is that I didn’t get it years ago. I have used it every day and I can tell a HUGE difference in how I feel overall.

My pain and body aches have been greatly relieved. I am totally sold on this product and I think everyone should have one. It came with the wrist remote and exercise bands. Lifepro has a lifetime warranty and great customer service.

They helped me with my warranty registration. I also had reached out to Zulilly customer service and they were awesome also. So, this vibration plate is the best and you should get one now. My friend used it now she is ordering one for herself.

Product arrived on time and in good shape. Visually it looked just as the picture did on the web site but on closer examination it had some very minor bleeding of colors on the white colored numbers.

Edges are what I wanted, padded. I opened the zipper and noticed underneath was dense foam. Appears to be 3-4in. thick all around the main box. Definitely don’t have to worry about bruised shins or anything else.

The weight feels good and it doesn’t move a lot on wood flooring or an outdoor rug. Almost no movement on gym workout interlocking exercise foam mats. The covering seems to stick or create a slight suction to the the mats and wood flooring.

So far I am very satisfied with the box.

I wanted a jump box to complete my home gym and was excited to receive the BalanceFrom by delivery. Same day I used it for some phyllo exercises in my workout room and it was great. It easily held my weight with stability when jumping hard on it.

The different heights but light weight nature of the box made it easy to switch from side to side for different exercises. I am happy to have added this functional box to my workout routine.

Maybe I just landed the 1 in 1000 rower here, but I ordered 2 for my small commercial gym and one came damaged. It was not damaged from shipping, but came with a faulty wire in the generator attached to the fly wheel.

I went to row it for the first time and a message came up saying the sensor was damaged and needed to be replaced. I’m currently in the process of disassembling the unit to replace the sensor and wire that attaches it.

This isn’t the quickest of undertakings, and the directions sent by concept are lackluster at best. I’ve wasted time, effort and aggravation on this and Rogue has really dropped the ball. I’m told my case will be “reviewed for compensation” for the inconvenience once I fix the unit myself.

Things happen, and no company is perfect I totally understand that. But in the email chain with Rogue and Concept neither one has apologized for the inconvenience which I find very disappointing and odd quite frankly.

The directions say to avoid bending or kinking the wire, and when I opened it up the wire had been quite mangled. I would have guessed the first thing to be emailed back would have been “We apologize for selling you a damaged unit.

” but I guess not. Best I got was “thanks for reaching out to us about this” which is probably the oddest response I can think of. Of course I’m going to reach out about a defective unit you sold me.

The shame of it is I sold two perfectly functioning Perform Better rowers to make room for these. I never post negative reviews, but this has not been an enjoyable experience.

This item is considered a gold standard for a reason when it comes to rowing machine. I couldn’t suggest it more. The construction is sturdy. It separates in the center (seat slide and row bar sections) for easy storage.

I don’t have high ceilings, that 96″ is too long to just stand it up. Ultimately, it takes up slighty more floor space than a kitchen chair when storing it this way. The PM5 connects perfectly to my phone without issue and the ErgData app is great for tracking your progress.

You can also use the a UBS drive to do the same tracking and with this there is no chance you accidentally leave it in the Rower at the gym. The question of whether it’s a good value is highly subjective though.

This is hands down the single most expensive piece of fitness equipment I have ever purchased. But this is one of the best forms of exercise you can get, so for me it’s worth it. But if you aren’t sure you like rowing or looking for something new you haven’t tried, it may be financially prudent to buy a cheap rower to start.

I’m not personally a fan of spending a lot of money on something and having it become a clothing rack that sits in the corner. But if you know you will commit to using this rower on a regular basis, it’s easy money to spend.

I got into rowing maybe in the middle of 2019. It’s physically demanding, it’s easily trackable with this machine so you can see your progress in your distance or strokes per minute metrics, and it’s basically no impact on your joints.

But then came Covid19 and the gyms shut down for a good portion of the year. During the summer I walked every day and hiked quite a bit on weekend, but since winter has come my ability to stay fit has been greatly diminished.

I tried using a rowing machine in the gym but the requirement to wear a mask really hurts it as exercise. Within a few minutes you are gulping for air as the mask completely obstructs your airway when doing anything that makes you breath heavy.

So, I took the plunge, and after my first day of using my own Concept2 Rower, I knew I made the right decision. If you could buy it from the manufacturer you would probably save yourself about a third of the cost, but that isn’t remotely an option now.

I couldn’t suggest it more so long as you actually commit to this form of exercise.

I’ve been using RowErg regularly in my gym as a part of my cardio mix before the pandemic hit. Then, all of a sudden, it become inaccessible. I hoped I’d survive on my home stationary bike alone. But soon enough, I started really missing my upper body being disengaged and the smooth motion of flawless Concept2.

I’m not a buff pro or even a sport junkie. Just a regular guy who wants to keep whatever the life claims back due to age and wear and tear. But one doesn’t have to be a scientist to know the difference right away when comparing rowing ergonometers.

Concept2 is a way to go regardless of how cute and pretentious the others are. Air provides the best dynamic resistance, and there’s nothing else out there that does it so long and so well as Concept2.

Yes, it is on the noisier side of the spectrum of market offerings. But there might be just few who’d wish the fan could be quieter because most of my fellow exercisers nowadays rarely jump on a cardio erg without a pair of good cans anyway.

My only quip as an Apple watch junkie is that there’s no direct , free, or easy way to use it’s heart rate monitor capacity with Concept2. All third party apps that work require-well-third party involvement and a little more of dough.

Those that come free, fail to connect with PM5 reliably, necessitating investment in chest-belted devices or other, presumably better monitoring watches. Regardless, I’m in my second or third (I truly don’t care how long I’ve had my Erg as a homebody) month of projected ownership (thank you, Rogue Fitness and PayPal, the only trusted seller of trusted equipment that offers no interest installment plan) and am thoroughly enjoying Concept2 as my cardio pal.

Did I mention it snaps in two parts for storage and locks back to work in a matter of seconds? I have no doubt that regardless how far I rank on the group competition rosters or as a user, I’m a winner just by owning this refined, time-proven and durable and hard working Concept2.

Funny that it’s a kind of misnomer at that because being refined, time-proven and durable ergonometer it’s not really a concept anymore.

This is the only pre that I can find without taurine. Taurine combined with caffeine is bad for your cardiovascular system and your heart. This has been proven by study, mostly in UK (figures). This stuff still has what it takes to give you a kick of energy and focus.

The pumps are pretty good too. The thing that really makes a difference is that second stage. When it hits, you know it. I took off one star because of the sourness of most flavors and the odd fake smoke flavor on the smoked pineapple.

That one is just nasty. I usually mix this with Power Beets powder for enhanced blood flow and flavor improvement.

Since 2018, I have now purchased 100s now of Vintage Blast – the best pre-workout! All the best ingredients combined into 20-servings. Be careful if your a women past 50 – the caffeine is right on point, but more than 1-scoop is too much for me.

Or if another scoop is needed, take several hours later and before 3p or you may be doing cart-wheels before trying to get to bed. When I recently went back to Amazon to order more – it shows I’m on my 189th cannister.

I was shocked but realized this has been my go-to energy source. Although, I do wish it lasted longer. 20-servings is about 20-days so I’ve been reducing the amount by taking 3/4 of a scoop or 1/2 and still feel the effects enough to power through my morning workouts! Recently, I tried their pill form Fat Burners, and had no side effects like I did with others I tried, and after finishing the bottle, I noticed 4lbs of fat loss – especially around my waist and hips.

I will be trying the powder version of their new fat burner as it combines both pre-workout and the fat burner ingredients in one. I will share more once I finish the entire cannister. Thank you Old School Labs for finally starting a loyalty program!!.

Pretty nice pre to have whenever I do cardio or hiit training. Flavor is alright just because it does seem a little too sour for my taste and is pretty strong tasting if you whole scoop it in your drink.

Ingredient quality is decent (5 mg of L citrulline, 1 beta alanine, d aspartic acid, etc). It is not too heavy in caffeine as a lot of pre’s are, which is good for some people. Having more than one scoop seems to be a bigger difference for me in terms of workout intensity since I am pretty tolerant with caffeine and dont mind the tingly sensation from the citrulline.

However, there is only 20 servings per container so it does not last long and plus it is rather pricey per serving for those who purchase the product (got mine for free as a tester). Overall, not a shabby pre to get especially if you are a beginner looking for a good pre workout.

Just be mindful that this pre is more expensive than most in terms of cost per serving.

We bought ours over a year ago and it is by far my favorite piece of workout equipment. I have scoliosis/spinal stenosis and had surgery when I was younger. Once I started closing in on 40 my lower back and hips started giving me a lot of problems making hiking and jogging painful.

This beauty made exercise possible when my pain was bad allowing me to stay in shape and not cause extra pain. We bought ours with the base so we could move it around the workout room as necessary. Great product, durable, and user friendly.

We also bought the concept 2 rower and the assault bike is next on the list. If you can only get one, I would recommend starting with this one!.

Got rid of our Sole treadmill which wasn’t being used much, and decided to try a ski erg. This is a great way to warm up, cool down, and/or incorporate cardio in between lifts, so that’s mainly what we’re using it for.

Well-built, quiet, portable, stable, and takes up little space. It’s not heavy, making it very easy to move when needed. Very well packaged and easy to assemble with clear instructions. It’d be cool to see a platform like Zwift incorporate XC skiing into the mix.

that’d make using this thing that much more fun. At any rate, this checks all the boxes for us.

I haven’t tried the bike, but the rower and skier are both great. I bought this because I had moved for work and left the rower behind. It wasn’t feasible to get the rower here so I opted to just buy another piece of equipment.

The SkiErg would be a great alternative for someone with a disability or injury as well and the workout is very similar to the rower, which is one of the best cardio machines out there. The quality of the Concept2 equipment can’t be beat.

When I was looking for ropes, I didn’t want some wimpy, wet spaghetti rope. I wanted a BATTLE rope. This rope delivers. When using it, I imagine that I’m behind my royal chariot with two golden steeds, sweat glistening in the sunlight as I speed toward my enemies, hell-bent on destroying them.

As I race by, fair maidens snap photos for their Instagram feeds of my massive arm and shoulder pump with perfect downlighting emphasizing my insane tricep cuts. Bonus points this rope doesn’t shed like an indoor shetland pony like some other, well-known brand that rhymes with Grogue Litness.

Fast shipping got the gain train to my doorstep in a jiff. Three thumbs up.

Quick delivery, vender follow up to check on delivery and my satisfaction with the quality of their battle rope. To summarize my purchase experience and satisfaction is “as-advertised”. My only advice is to consider the length of rope purchased due to its weight.

I bought a 50 footer so I would have 25 feet for each arm but it’s weigh really makes it difficult to execute the rope movements from the hands to the rope’s anchor point. So, unless you are proficient with battle rope exercises, I’d consider purchasing a shorter length so your exercise execution doesn’t suffer while you do the work to build your proficiency.

However, regardless of the length, you will get the cardio you want and progressively stronger while perfecting the different battling rope exercises you choose to target.

I have had it for a few weeks. It had been a great addition for cardio/upper body work. Perfect size, even better price. I do recommend getting a rig attachment from Amazon to hook the rope through. It saves on wear and tear.

I was always a little skeptical about the X3 system but was also intrigued because guys like Ben Greenfield spoke highly of it. I’ve tried a few “similar” options from Amazon that had similar principles but used a plastic base and loops that you’d attach the bands to.

this made me more of a skeptic. I went back to using kettlebells and my bowflex (for sale) and would always end up getting injured. After re-listening to a few podcast (Ben Greenfield, Dave Asprey and Luke Storey) I ended up pulling the trigger.

It’s a high quality system, the bar feels legit with nice weight and grippy knurling. The plate is nice with no shape edges and the bands are holding up so far. I’ve been using it 4-5 times a week and holy ****! The pump and burn you get from this system is pretty ridiculous.

I’d highly recommend watching some youtube vids of Dr. Jaquish showing you proper form and how to do a set with X3. When I first got it, I just freestyled and I felt like it worked but after watching some of his videos, the burn came quicker and intensified big time.

His way of doing a bicep curl is a game changer! I’m also stoked at the burn I get from the chest press. I’m sure my body mechanics are messed up and my stronger muscles are compensating for the weaker ones because whenever I did bench press (barbell or dumbbell) or push ups, I’d rarely get any type of muscle burn/pump.

I definitely feel it with X3. A little about myself for context: I’m a 40yo Japanese American in Hawaii that is trying to get in shape and recover from a fun, carefree youth lol. I’ve been on Keto for about a year and lost over 40lbs (205ish to 158-160ish)(I looked like a thumb) and unfortunately, lost muscle in that process.

I’ve had the X3 for about a month and my diet, lifestyle, supplementation and waste size hasn’t changed but I now my average weight is 163-164lbs. I definitely feel stronger, my body (especially arms) are showing more definition and looking pretty vascular.

No more lower back aches or pulled muscles. I highly recommend X3 to anyone (Except to the person who buys my bowflex hahaha).

I’ve been using the X3 for 10 months now and the results have been better than I imagined. I’ve followed the program as stated and recommend people to do the same as opposed to trying their own thing.

I’ve put about 30 pounds of muscle while remaining basically the same weight so it has been mostly a body recomposition journey but I am more toned than I’ve ever been before. I truly believe this, plus fasting, plus mainly a carnivore/keto diet is all I’ll ever need to take care of my health and live as long and as able-bodied as possible.

I just turned 32. I’ve never been to a gym since I was 11, I was a fat kid and my mother wanted to change that (didn’t work). I was so out of condition when I started I had to buy the weaker orange and purple bands from serious steel that you recommend.

Now I’ve graduated from the orange one and only keep using the purple one for the overhead press. I’m looking forward to my 2nd year using the X3 to gain more muscle mass. The whole gym life wasn’t a thing I was interested in, and the most I did was some calisthenics and bought a couple of kettlebells, but that didn’t do much.

The workout is physically effortful, but I’ll say is psychologically effortless. I do it at home I don’t have to drive anywhere. It takes 10 minutes-ish at least the workout itself without counting the rest in between and stretching.

It’s easy the first 4 weeks of the program to build the habit of showing up. Once you see results you are incentivized to minimaxed the whole thing and add the activation exercises and the hyperplasia protocol.

I take glycerol and dextrose before the workout and do stretches at the end and can really feel the pump. I might update the review later on if that’s possible to add any other experience I’ve had.

I received the X3 on 11 August 2022 and have performed 20 full push or pull exercises in the last 24 days. I bought a Serious Steel purple band as the white band was to strong for some exercises. I use the white band for some exercises, mainly on the push days.

I will be 80 in January and emailed your company and asked if the person I interchanged with if given my state of health I could use the X3. That email said that it would work for me. I have been able to improve in each of the 8 exercises and do not find I am sore afterwards.

I notice it in my abs, which after researching all of your videos it stated it worked the abs. I notice my walking gate is better, I was concerned that every so often I shuffle which I want to avoid.

My balance is better as well and I do believe I am stronger with only 20 days of exercises. I find that I can get up more easily from a seated position and also if I get on the floor for exercises and need to get up that is much easier.

I think it may take some time to be able to do the overhead press with the white band. I will take that slowly as I do not want to hurt my shoulders. I watched all the ‘how to’ videos, and every time I prepare to do an exercise to ensure t am performing as prescribed.

My wife, who is 74, has osteoporosis and I have helped her with trying the orange band from Serious Steel. I think she can use the purple band for most exercises, but orange for overhead press and some others.

So, with only having the X3 for 24 days and 20 exercises I am very happy with the results. I do think for someone of my age, a band like the purple Serious Steel band would be useful. I am trying to get my 42 year old son to purchase one.

I will take it with me when I visit him next month and see what he thinks. The 10 minutes of exercise to achieve improved strength and weigh loss would be good for him. Thank you for the product and the many explanations available on YouTube and your site for the detailed explanations of product use and scientific reasoning of how it works.

You can use my assessment here, but do not associate my name to this review.

I have several of the Anti-Burst exercise Ball’s ranging in sizes and colors. I am 5 ft 3 inches tall so the suggested ball for my height is the 4′ 2″ – 5′ 6″ – 55cm. However, I must say, I had to have the 95cm so I could sit at my desk, and around the living room.

I quickly fell in love with this exercise ball. The Material is extremely durable, and even though it is blown up with a hand pump, it took no time at all. I found that by using the 95cm Anti Burst Exercise Ball, as someone who is new to the exercise game it made doing sit-ups on the ball easier for me since my lower back is broken.

I also have found it easier to do Core rotations and back extensions. But as you can see from my picture, I do also have the ball that is standard for my height which I use as well for many other exercises.

I read lots of reviews prior to purchase, finally chose Live Infinitely’s balance ball, which has lived up to avoiding commonly reported issues from other providers. The ball was easy to inflate with the included manual pump, it did inflate to the advertised size, the material appears thick and sturdy (blow-outs unlikely), and the customer service and ease of communication was great.

I’m an almost 80-yr-old petite female recently diagnosed with MS (rare but it happens) for which exercises with a balance ball have been recommended. I’m just beginning, finding it’s not as easy as it looks, a challenge I’m enjoying with this properly-sized, quality piece of equipment.

Thank you, Live Infinitely, for a good product.

the item was supposed to be 65 cm i took it to PT and they measured it twice in circumference and it is measured 55. Customer service is horrible. the direction they told to measure the ball was ludicrous.

actually laughable because I am an architect. I never used it not even once just had it blown up. I have to pay for return shipping and for restocking fee. I let the the PT at the hospital keep it and bought else where which when i received the ball the measurement where accurate never buy from these people.

they don’t even have a phone and their receipt looks like my horse typed it up. scam business for sure.

This is my first deadlift bar and if you are like I was; looking for a solid steel, hex deadlift trap bar that is not hollow then this one is for you. The 50lb (22. 6796kgs) weight proves it is totally solid.

Keep in mind if you put 100lbs (45. 3592kgs) on the bar you are really lifting 150lbs (68. 0389kgs). It states it can hold 1,000lbs (453. 592kgs), however, I cannot speak on that nor can any other average lifter but for most lifters who want to keep their back pain free this will hold more weight than even the most athletic power lifter will want or need to lift for.

This bar will hold Olympic plates only (2 inch holes) so standard plates will not fit. The handles are 2 in one: One side has the handles raised higher for a closer reach while the other side has the handles lower for a further reach.

Some are Chrome but this one is painted black. You may see some reviews that mention paint chips but that will happen just from your everyday use, unless you’re delicate. When lifting do you pay attention to cosmetics or reps? The paint or chrome is a way to rust proof the steel so do not let that deter you.

Personally I am very satisfied with this purchase especially with others costing a lot more. A good deadlift bar has been on my search list for a very long time and I am glad to say my search is finally over.

If that sounds like you then buy with confidence.

Fast shipping. Great price very functional for the whole family. Not ideal for heavy weights and bumper plates the sleeve is short so stick with cast iron plates. The knurling on the grip isn’t the best but it all sucks over 300lbs.

Athletic tape should help with the grip and sissy hands. It will have cosmetic blemishes from shipping. Who cares? Just rattle can it and move on with your life. Heavy duty at 45lbs and the welds look good.

Good addition to the garage gym.
