Vlog #2 - Stop With the Doubts and Excuses



So, I'm a bit disappointed with this Vlog.  The workout, while a TOTAL back breaker, wasn't the most interesting for the viewer to watch.  On top of that, the entire episode was plagued with little technical issues that were giving me fits.

That being said, I did learn a lot on this one.  I learned a lot of technical stuff that will hopefully be addressed before the next video, AND I learned a lot about myself in terms of tackling these workouts and pushing myself.

Hopefully you get something out of it.  And if you have any thoughts, please send them my way!

DIY Slam Ball

Image
A Slam Ball is a great addition to your gym equipment arsenal that gives you a workout one can’t typically get with traditional gym equipment. One of the first things that struck me about these weighted objects is the are not cheap!  I’ve seen 20 lb. slam balls going for as much as $50.  It’s no wonder you can find so many DIY postings for creating your own.  However when researching these DIY products, I discovered that most of them resulted in a weighted ball nothing like the slam balls you can buy in s store.  I too have made the duct tape covered, sand filled basket ball, but to me, those aren’t slam balls, they are medicine balls .  A slam ball needs to have the rubbery texture for grip, and they need to give with the weight and absorb the force of hitting the ground… when slammed they shouldn’t bounce.   They also need to be extremely durable.  The medicine balls (you can see my DIY on those here ) I have made are very tough and strong and can definitely handle being

DIY Medicine Ball

This is a quick little "how to" on how to make your very own, custom made DIY Medicine Ball. The video above covers everything.  In this written portion I'll just quickly lay out the steps, costs and any other nugget I didn't have time for in the video.  While you'll get everything you need from this written post, I think the video is great for really taking you through all the steps and painting a picture for you.  Here's a list of materials I used, along with their costs. Volley Ball        -   $8.08 (https://amzn.to/46gi0et) Play Sand        -   $5.00 (50lb bag) Tube Patch Kit   -   $4.33 (https://amzn.to/465ZEgd) Gorilla Tape     -   $7.99 (https://amzn.to/476wWgx) Duck Tape       -   $3.47(https://amzn.to/3svyQbC) That gives us a grand total of $28.87.   And that's really a maximum price you would pay in the event you had none of the materials already.   If you have an old ball, USE IT!  A bag of sand in the back yard or a r

DIY Climbing Pegboard

Image
Remember that scene in Vision Quest where Louden Swain climbed that pegboard in the gym and blew all his team mates away?  No?  Anyone?  If not, you must be under 40.  Anyway, it was a great moment, and in the recent years, thanks to CrossFit, they have made a comeback. As far as craftsmanship woodworking skills go, you don't need a whole heck of a lot to complete this project... consider it a good gateway project into the world of woodworking.  However, you DO need some quality tools, otherwise it's going to take a lifetime to complete. And as far as costs go, this one didn't cost me very much at all.  Primarily because the main board I used was a scrap piece of wood I found.  And when I started, it really did look scrap... nicked, scuffed, sun bleached and paint.  But in the end, I think it turned out looking great! So, here's what you need to make your own DIY Pegboard. One 2x12 board (length depending on how high your ceiling is) One 1/14" dowel ro
