June 19, 2022 clothesadmin Comments Off

Let’s review the brand-new Reebok Nano X2. The Reebok Nano is the first athletic shoe developed for CrossFit in 2011 and has ever since become one of the best CrossFit shoes you’ll have. The Nano X2 is the latest in the series and is called the “Official Shoe of You”. It’s got some improvements from the previous version that includes the “Flexweave” material on the upper to endure extreme conditions. That’s enough marketing hype – let’s dive in. This is a Nano X2 Review. We’ll also talk about Reebok Nano X2 Versus Reebok Nano X1, of course. Get it now, from Reebok, Rogue, and Road Runner Sports: Let’s check it out. Reebok Nano X2 – Our Review Want the real scoop? We got hands-on – I mean feet-on for testing this shoe. Firstly, let’s state that it is an evolution from the Nano X1. This wasn’t a radical jump in design – unlike the switch from Nano X to Nano X1. They’ve beefed up the external “cage” that gives the shoe rigidity. The TPU (a kind of stiff plastic) is [Read more …]

Rucker 4 Available Now

April 3, 2022 clothesadmin Comments Off

Let’s review the newly launched Rucker 4.0 from GORUCK. I ordered one as soon as it dropped, and it’s here. Let’s take a tour of the features. The latest version of GORUCK’s Rucker is the ultimate fitness training backpack. It now comes in Tropic Multicam or Black for dope style and practicality. Get it now – only from GORUCK: Let’s take a closer look. GORUCK Rucker 4 – REVIEW I took this bag out to stomp around in the woods. First, understand they’ve carried over all the cool new stuff from the Rucker 3. Like what? Tons of handles, drain grommets, low-abrasion shoulder straps, low-abrasion hip belt, and two interior pockets for plates. They’ve made it better – primarily by removing all the interior zippers. So – you use Velcro (aka hook and loop) instead. It works just fine. But, it’s NOISIER and it takes longer to open and close. I think that’s OK – this is a tool for fitness – not stealth. They’ve also added more foam padding in the interior to better protect your head from sliding [Read more …]

Got rucksack? Let’s take a look at the various Best Rucksacks from GORUCK. Rucking is walking as slow or as fast as you want with some weight.

Bonehead Ruck Weight Plate Review

January 7, 2022 clothesadmin 1

Let’s review the Bonehead Ruck Weight Plates from Fringe Sport. What’s a Ruck Weight Plate? It’s a heavy weight that you put in your rucksack (aka backpack) to add resistance and therefore burn more calories when you walk, hike, or “ruck” (as it’s known in the military). Can’t you just use a barbell plate or a dumbbell? Ruck weight plates are a better option because they are a shape and size that will actually fit into your backpack. And leave you enough room to pack other important stuff. DISCLAIMER: Fringe Sport provided the equipment in this article for review. Here’s the complete set of Ruck Weight Plates that Fringe Sport has to offer: Bonehead Ruck Weight Plates – Overview The Bonehead Ruck Weight Plates are made from solid cast iron, and receive a black powdercoat finish. The most important thing about these is the weight. After all, we use plates to add resistance to work harder and grow stronger. All of these weigh in at or over the advertised weight. That’s good because if you are participating in a GORUCK [Read more …]

November 23, 2021 clothesadmin 1

Let’s compare the Nike Metcon 7 to the Nike Metcon 6. Now that the Nike Metcon 7 Mat Fraser has dropped we finally have something to compare against the Nike Metcon 6. At long last we have the Nike Metcon 7. It looks good (just remember this is the Mat Fraser Personal Edition – so it always looks a bit “dramatic”). Has Nike revolutionized the CrossFit shoe that millions know and love? We’ll compare this shoe to its very popular predecessor. This is Nike Metcon 7 vs Nike Metcon 6. And here’s where you can get these shoes: Let’s get right into the comparison. Nike Metcon 7 – Overview Let’s start from the bottom up. The outsole on both shoes is all rubber, has flex grooves, and a very firm heel. There’s deep pre-formed flex grooves in the forefoot of both shoes. The M6 had a diamond-shaped heel, and with the M7 the heel is noticeably wider. This is good – because the main mission of the Nike Metcon shoes is heavy weight lifting. A wide heel makes for a [Read more …]

Nike Savaleos Weightlifting Shoe Review (26)

Nike Romaleos Versus Nike Savaleos

November 23, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off

For the first time in a long time, Nike has two Oly lifting shoes available. Let’s compare them head to head – because there are some BIG differences between the two. This is Nike Savaleos Versus Nike Romaleos. Nike Romaleos and Nike Savaleos are both designed for Olympic weightlifters. From a quick look, they almost appear identical. But what differs one from the other? Let’s examine closely. Here are some of the styles we are going to look at: Time to compare these shoes side by side. Romaleos Versus Savaleos YouTube Review See these shoes side by side and sole to sole here: What’s the big differences? The Romaleos 4 continues to be rock solid and the most heel raise. In comparison the Savaleos is lighter, has a bit more cushion, less drop – but it’s also quieter, easier to walk in – and cheaper. I’d say go with the Romaleos 4 if you want the ultimate in rock-solid stability – otherwise the Savaleos is an excellent Oly lifter too. Romaleos Versus Savaleos – Overview Both the Romaleos and Savaleos [Read more …]
