FBB Blog - Tuesday, March 3rd

Couple of new items over the past week or so to talk about:

First, a couple of new slam balls! I will not name names, but we may have had some complaints from members with more delicate fingers. We aim to please here at Findlay Barbell, so we have a new 15 and 25 lbs slam ball! (The 25lbs one was busted, too. 🤷‍♂️)

I’m a very big fan of explosive slam exercises and members of the gym will often see me performing them with my clients in the gym. Slam balls, IMO, are part of regular gym costs that you will eventually have to replace, just like bands. I usually just buy the mid-level ones on Amazon, as these things need replaced every two years, and the Rogue ones cost over double of the pretty decent quality ones on Amazon.

Next up is our new endless rope rack attachment. I’ve been storing this guy in the equipment room on the hanging hooks, but it’s easy to put up and take down from any of the racks. This is a much cheaper option than the Torque endless rope or other full rope machine, but still works quite well! The intensity doesn’t max out nearly as hard as the upgraded Torque rope, but I think it gets the job done with rows and smaller exercises like tricep pushdowns, too.

Hope everyone has a great week!
