This is great - a fat bar with a couple of RT-style rotating collars. Love it.

Ready to bend some steel? Grab a copy of the Diesel Crew's Bending eBook. Superb.

The Gymboss is a superb interval timer. As Jim noted :
'20 seconds never felt so long, 10 seconds never so short, and four minutes never so painful.'
Love it.

I check the site every day. Kind of surreal to see my videos here.
Always quality material.
Keep up the good work!

Cheers Max. Great to see exercises like the TGU and one-handed deadlift with a fat bar.
I take it the rotating sections just slide on/off over the collars. Have you used them with anything else (chinning bars, dumbbells etc)?

Actually for fat bar pullups I have 4 dish towels rolled up tight and duct taped—they spin freely and also are nice on the hands when you’ve been ripping them apart doing other things. I’m definitely going to try to experiment more with dumbbells and I want to see if it is feasible to cut a piece in half lengthwise and glue it back together over a kettlebell.
