The AbMat Zercher Pad is a specialty accessory that was made to make the Zercher squat more comfortable.

I personally like […]

The Zero Sled by The Nordstick is a one of a kind pull sled. It’s been called the “First sled ever to change direction faster than you can” because of its 360 degree spinning plate.

I picked up a rubber weight plates set with handles from XDDIAS on Amazon. One reason I like this kind of rubber plates is because they’re easier to pick up off the floor than bumper plates and iron plates. They also have raised areas that lift the edges off the floor so my fingers can

The anterior tib machine is another product by the Tib Bar Guy aimed at strengthening the tibialis anterior muscles.
