Joshua Naterman Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 hmmm Victorian wishes:E flop on one pommel (for one of my kids) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razz Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Can't you buy them without the weight? You've got enough sand there to make your own weight sacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Libke Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razz Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Wolf I think you're right about santa And slizz I have nothing but sand here, could make weight vests for the entire world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heinrich Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 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?http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1260528673/ ... er%20shoesI'd love a power rack which is about 12 feet high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Libke Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Naterman Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Me too! ALthough I have to say that personally, I am looking forward to Liquid Steel™ even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Duelley Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 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!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Weill Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 KSO FOR THE WIN!!! I do EVERYTHING in them. Even the laundry.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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
