Two adjustable weight benches, side by side in my garage, and one of them lists a 2,300 lb weight capacity while the other lists 1,300 lb. If you’re shopping right now, I’d bet money that capacity number is the first thing your eye jumped to. I’m a certified personal trainer, and I’m telling you flat…
ZeroWater built its entire pitch around one number. Every pitcher ships with a little TDS meter, and the promise is that whatever your tap water reads going in, it reads 000 coming out. That is a satisfying claim, and it is also the kind of claim that makes me want to do something stupid to…
Juicers are one of those purchases where the spec sheet does most of the lying. Every listing promises maximum yield and easy cleanup, and then you get the thing home and spend fifteen minutes chopping an apple into pieces small enough to fit the chute. So I put three popular Amazon juicers side by side:…
Beef organ supplements are having a moment, and I get why people are skeptical. You are being asked to swallow capsules of freeze-dried liver, bone marrow, and in this case a couple of organs most people do not want to say out loud. Primal Science sent me their male optimized beef organ supplement and asked…
A power rack is the single biggest decision you make when you build a home gym. It is the thing everything else orbits, it is the hardest piece to return, and it is the one where cutting corners follows you around for years. So when ARMAC reached out and asked me to put their 2,000…
I have tested a lot of benches in my garage over the years, and most of them fall into one of two buckets: cheap and wobbly, or great but priced like a car payment. The SportsRoyals 750 lb capacity workout bench landed somewhere I did not expect, and the resistance band set it ships with…
Vibration plates are one of those pieces of home gym equipment that people either swear by or roll their eyes at, and I understand both camps. So when I got my hands on the MERACH V33 Pro Vibration Plate Exercise Machine, I wanted to answer one question honestly: is this worth your money, or is…
It is hard not to weigh yourself every day when you are trying to lose weight. I will admit it — I weigh myself twice. Once before bed, once when I wake up, just to see how my body reacted to whatever I did the day before. And every fitness person on the internet will…
The Unive Fitness F4 packs a Smith machine, power cage, squat rack, cable crossover and pull-up station into one footprint. Here is my honest garage-gym review.
I’ve gone through a lot of shaker bottles. Plastic ones that cracked, metal ones that held onto the smell of last week’s protein no matter how many times I washed them, and a whole pile of the little wire-ball ones that never fully broke up a scoop of anything. So when Voltrx dropped a limited…
