This is certainly one of the more interesting and unique ways to test your grip strength, no doubt inspired by strongman competition volunteers who know all too well how difficult it is to move the fabled horsemats around. And also, grip training never smelled so sweet!

I bought the "trainer" version of the Slater true log, a new offering in 2025. It is great and is made to take a beating. A little more cost effective than the dressed out true logs from Slater.

Are you a silly goose? Do you even lift, bro? If so, here's your flag.

Great flag. Right before my PR lifts I look at it and I think "By the Power of Greyskull, give me POWER!" This flag and its message gets me to PR land every time. Order it...now...and get to the chopper!

It is a strenuous certification process, but well worth it. If you can survive the vetting process, there is no greater honor than hoisting the flag and counting yourself amongst the merry band which are the Massenomics Certified Gyms of America.

A highlight and top star of my gym banners and flags. I love this one and it has pride of place in my strongman garage gym.

It's my workday EZ curl bar and does its duty. Biceps like it and it handles the beatings I give it. Recommended.

I use this bar for tricep accessory work. It is well made and had some mild knurling.
