Wishlist

Seeking inspiration for my christmas wish list, what's everyones wishes? May it be training or non training related.

so far I have the following.

books

Stretching scientifically - Thomas Kurz

Modern trends in strength training - Charles Poliquin

Science and Practice of Strength Training-2nd Edition - Vladimir Zatsiorsky, William Kraemer

Girth control - Alan Aragon

other stuff

Elite strength trainer (if this is still for sale)

X-vest probably the 84lb model

Hoping to get the rings, though I have nowhere to hang them.

I JUST got a second fridge, so I can cross that off my list

I want a power rack I won't have it until sometime this spring, but it will come.

Then I can do almost everything at home. Happy thoughts! Let's see... I actually think that's it. Oh, a split set of paralletes. I'm going to modify mine over the break.

Oh! NEW ELBOWS.

Edit: A new digital camera!

Free standing pull-up bar for backyard - and a bigger backyard

Vibram 5-finger Moc shoes

16 - pound shotput

Prowler sled

Pommels for EGE trainer

Stall bars

Good looks and Charm -Its a wish list.

For the 16 lb shotput you could get a small kids ball, like one of those kickballs and fill it with cement! It might be a little big, but not too much and the extra size will work your stabilizers!

hmmm Victorian

wishes:

E flop on one pommel (for one of my kids)

nice one Gregor think that'll be on my wishlist in 5 years time and probably for the next 5 years after that

Just realised the shipping to qatar for a 60lbs x-vest is 350$, even more than the vest itself, so I can cross that off my list

Can't you buy them without the weight? You've got enough sand there to make your own weight sacks

Shipping is tough even domestically when something is heavy. Tough in the meaning that it is expensive. I think even Santa Claus objects to delivering bounce plates, large rubber mats, or weight vests.

Wolf I think you're right about santa

And slizz I have nothing but sand here, could make weight vests for the entire world

Wolf,

I have the Vibram Five Finger KSO and love them.

Wishlist:

homemade stall bars - just got to finish painting first so my wife's happy

rokenboks for my little boy

KSO FOR THE WIN!!! I do EVERYTHING in them. Even the laundry.

And, for the record, I no longer have to wish for perfect scores on my finals, because I got them all! YEA BOOOIIII!!! I'm going to the GYM to do some FRIKKIN' heavy partials as a celebration!

slizzardman

what are you majoring in?

Of course, the XVest looks really cool but what about "ordinary" weighted vests?

like this one:

http://www.amazon.de/D-S-Vertriebs-GmbH ... ative=9006

(thats about 22 USD)

And the Fivefingers are quite expensive :shock:

Are they 500% better than watershoes?

I'd love a power rack which is about 12 feet high

Mark: RIght now i'm majoring BS in psychology, going through to at least Masters in counseling, but probably Ph.D. before I go back to get exercise science, with the goal of a graduate degree in kinesiology. Of course I'll be plugging away at that as I am able, I love school. Mostly because it gets me that piece of paper that the rest of the world needs to see But also because I am really, really good at learning.

Heinrich: I feel you man, I was daydreaming about constructing my own super tall rack last evening hahaha! Those vests aren't bad, they just don't have the tight custom fit of the X-Vest. But guess what: You can modify them. Just get one of those stupid lab belts, the neoprene stretchy ones that people use to "burn belly fat." Use that to make the vest form fitting at your waist! Voila, custom fit on the cheap. And you can always add more weight, or buy two and wear one on the other if you get to that point.

I want to add to my wish list. After revisiting BtGB the other night, specifically the section on handstands, wherein Coach whets our appetite for the upcoming Handstand Chronicles, I am adding it to the wish list. Understanding that the author is hard at work, I nevertheless am having a hard time waiting. :wink:

Me too! ALthough I have to say that personally, I am looking forward to Liquid Steel™ even more.

I am looking forward to the Handstand Chronicles the most but then an VERY close second is All Muscle No Iron (the ring strength book!).

Ever tried Terra Plana's Vivo Barefoot? I own the brown leather aqua, and they are light enough to perform levers in without too much difficult. Definitely targetted towards the community that prefers to not be shod. Great for wide feet!

Cue the world's smallest feet: I can't wear KSO's 'cause my middle and index toes are partially webbed. :cry:

Sorry Gregor, I called victorian (loljk)

I'm going to get planche in 2010. Hopefully a manna, but I don't know where my progress stands for that one. I should be getting sort of close.

A FIXED SHOULDER. and soon.
