I just got through reading a very interesting blog post by Steve Maxwell. Steve is an internationally known strength and conditioning coach. I really enjoy reading his posts which bring reality into the gym. My coach, CRay Knowles, is of much the same mindset and has helped me to dramatically improve my strength over the last year. Steve and CRay have worked together in the past and I can definitely see the resemblance in their styles. They both have a background in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, hence, the emphasis on strength and conditioning at such an extreme level.

CRay and I became close friends before he finally convinced me to begin his body weight training program and I was amazed at some of the equipment that he was able to fashion. Most of the equipment in the gym, he either made or has modified. (That Engineering degree comes in handy if you use it).  After actually working out there over the last year, it has become apparent, that CRay’s equipment, simply works! These workouts are what many would call extreme. (I kid CRay by saying his motto should be, “We can get you in shape… if you can stand it!) His gym is noticeably missing nearly any sort of weights. We simply use body weight.

Steve’s latest blog post goes into great depth in explaining the use of the Center Mounted Pull Up Bar. I encourage you to click on the link and read this post. If you want to take your workouts to a new extreme, look no further. Steve and CRay have teamed up to bring you cutting edge equipment that is portable and can be used nearly anywhere. CRay designed the Center Mounted Pull Up Bar out of necessity. It had to be portable and easy to use while still giving one the ability to do a phenomenal workout. Steve had the same trouble finding a place to do pull ups while on the road as CRay did. So after using the Center Mounted Pull Up Bar in various ways, decided to offer it as his featured product on his Strength and Conditioning web site.

With the PS straps, you can do a wide variety of exercises on the Center Mounted Pull Up Bar. These include:

Chin-Ups
Suspended Push-Ups
Body Weight Rows
Ab Roll-Outs
Pec Flyes

CRay and Steve can, and probably will, come up with some other tortuous exercises that this thing can be used for!

Here’s an introductory video from Steve on the Center Mounted Pull Up Bar. Enjoy!

Oh, I nearly forgot, friends of Steve (all of us) can use the Valentines Day special they are running for a 20% discount. The offer code is listed on the front page of the site and will be taken off your order at checkout!

Here’s to taking your workouts with you and taking them up a notch!
