    Score!

    I picked up to Pataki powerballs, an 18 pounder and a 25 pounder, plus a not-very-used but slight rusty 42'er for WOB yesterday. This was literally pennies on the dollar.

    The 42'er is great, beats all heck out of tossing stacked plates. But the real surprise is the Pataki powerballs. Man, oh man, doing hammer winds with the 25 pounder, is *Killer*. They're good for developing form, because the ball is steady in your hand and the weight is close. Also, for you guys who live up where the ground goes white and frozen pretty much all winter, well...these are made from a tough vinyl. You can throw them in a gym and you won't mar the floor. Sweet, eh?

    Power ball videos...

    Great find on the 42!!! I haven't been able to get that lucky yet.

    The powerball drills make a lot more sense than doing the same drills with a dumbell like I do. Tends to freak out some of the folks at the gym
