Jim, <br /><br />Thanks for the enlightening and excellent reply.<br /><br />As a lay person, while your points make sense, I've been steered, especially by the McKenzie oriented PT, toward the idea that we are an "over-flexed" society - Holding the car steering wheel, the computer keyboard and mous...

Hi Jim ( Ulu,)<br /><br />Although I am not the original poster, BreakerPJ, I do have the charecteristics you list, to wit:<br /><br />You are middle age or older.<br />Your diagnosis is from an xray or CT scan report<br />We are dealing with Grade 1 spondylolisthesis.<br />You went to your doctor f...

Hi JCPC,<br /><br />Where is your shop ?<br /><br />"Relax the Back" touches upon a responsive chord for me. I have had back issues and I love "gadgets" ( I use that term with all due respect for the many helpful items you carry.) RTB appeals to both.<br /><br />I'm glad to hear an erger is a franch...

Neil,<br /><br />You may find my "Core Empowerment" post in another thread in this TRAINING section, of interest, regarding the BOSU.<br /><br />Happy erging to you as well.<br /><br />Eddie

Hello Fellow C2 Folks,<br /><br />First of all, please know that my involvement with BOSU is limited, as with C2, to being a movement loving consumer of their product.<br /><br />While product info is available at www.BOSU.com, recently a blog & forum related more broadly to matters BOSU has launche...

Racer X,<br /><br />WARNING ! I'm about to ask a question that must have been posted in some different form on this forum, but...<br /><br />Why do you contemplate upgrading to a "D" when you have an excellent "C" ?<br /><br />I ask you specifically because I appreciate your athletic background and ...

I am in accord with The Dude Abides. As I've posted before, a kettlebell is " a gym on a handle," and will last forever.<br /><br />Stay strong,<br /><br />Eddie

Just to steer this thread in a slightly different direction, a friend of mine commented about the very significant difference in feeling hot and sweating on slides because the ( to him, surprisingly significant, ) cooling effect of moving back and forth is lost. <br /><br />Any comments on this ?

Please explain the term "rate" and/or "rating".<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />Eddie

John,<br /><br />As I have and use and enjoy the "core blaster" with parts from Home Depot, ( +/- 40 lbs. on it, ) please let me know the specs on the collar that you pick up to reduce the clanging. It certainly is a (relatively,) minor detail, but why not address it, especially for a .47 cent part ...

Here is a link to a "homemade core blaster". This is easy to assemble and relatively inexpensive. I think it is excellent for swings. ( Alas, only 2 handed swings though.) In fact, I like the fact that the weight seems to be even a bit further away than it is on a KB. ( That off centered aspect is t...

The Dude Abides,<br /><br />I think you have the best screen name I've ever seen.<br /><br />Stay strong,<br /><br />Eddie

Dude Abides, ( "I don't know about you, but I take comfort in knowing that..." ) <br />I have used KBs for about 2 years. They are a "gym on a handle," literally !<br /><br />Xeno, it's hard for me to imagine you not loving them. IMHO, have a session with a DragonDoor.com certified instructor. As yo...

Aaron & John:<br /><br />Thank you for the quality feedback.<br /><br />Aaron, I realize you are giving me " a word to the wise" and I do appreciate it. The "spondy" is x-ray confirmed as well as clinically diagnosed ( before the x-ray,) by a chiro ( while not my girlfriend ) that I have had a long ...

Thanks Frank,<br /><br />I can appreciate being "The One" who wants to stop at C2, "while on vacation ?!", and adding slides to the vacation gear. ( Although you don't mention if you were alone or with others, my imagination is seeing the guy who "goes the extra mile" for his passion.) Way to go ! <...
