Some things have just one function that justifies their existence; an umbrella for instance. Scuba gear is another that comes to mind. Since most of us are weight lifters in one manner or another, we have all run into barbell collars. They have no other apparent use.

Before the game, I got a Crossfit-style " />#8220;chipper” in to rev up the cardio output. Ten exercises, 50 reps each.
One of the funniest videos of late was from "Taser Boy". For those of you who missed this news cycle, you can see the raw video here.
I avoided the cops and their Tasers by going to the gym for a relatively high voltage workout which consisted of kettlebells, Good Mornings and Overhead Squats.
Undoubtedly, one of the most controversial and entertaining fitness-type blogs our there is The Moynihan Institute. “Rant Irishman” is the Joe Everyman of the fitness world and whatever your fitness “sacred cow” happens to be, you can bet the Institute will marinate it and cook it on the grill. His most recent postings,
Barry Bonds. MLB. No one cares.
