Revised Log Bar Page
With our new digital camera and video game capabilities, there's no excuse for not having more media for you, so be on the lookout for a lot of new pictures and other surprises in the coming weeks.
One of the pages that needed some work was for Dr. Ken's Log Bar which has been one of my favorite pieces of equipment for a long time now. A lot of folks find that they can do certain exercises much more comfortably with parallel handles as opposed to a straight bar.
The parallel handles seem to lend themselves particular well to many kinds of pressing -- it's easier on the shoulders I have been told.
I have found that there are few better tricep builders than an overhead press with the Log Bar although I would have to say my absolute favorite movement with it is the hammer curl.
The hammer curl is great for building the brachioradialis, that notty muscle just above the elbow. Yes, theres many other exercises you can do with a Log Bar, its actually quite a versitile piece of equipment.
Look for some video footage on the log bar coming up shortly too...
Train hard,

We've been going back through the website and taking a look at some products/pages that havent been updated for quite some time.

Daily Administrivia
Ok -- regains composure -- I realize that much of internet commerce these days is a lot like this: who knows what happens out there in cyberspace land once an order is placed?
And unfortunately this is also how it is with many "strength" companies out there, so I understand why many clients would often be leery.
However, that aint how we do things around here:
When you place an order online or call it in, Shelby often has it packed and ready to ship within 10 minutes or so, we have two daily shipments going out, one at noon and one at 5 pm so in almost all cases, books, dvds, grippers etc will be in the mail the very same day.
If you order a larger manufactured item, Shelby calls it in the minute she gets off the phone with you so the wheels start turning asap for things like Trap Bars, climbing ropes etc.
We simply could not make this process happen any faster.
Now, with this being the case, the posted lead times are there for a reason, so please take a look at them so you have an idea on the time frame that you can expect your order to show up.
Generally the turn-around time is much shorter than what is listed and that is the necessary for our manufacturers to get the job done right.
All our "big" items thick bars, climbing ropes etc, are manufactured right here is the USA and like anything else, quality does take time.
Oh, and our summer hours are 8 AM to 6PM Monday through Thursday and 8-4 on Fridays. That's right, we're up an hour before the so-called competition and stay an hour after they call it a day too.
So, regardless of the timezone you're in, if you need anything, we are only a phone call away: 1-800-978-0206
If you are located internationally: ie Canada, UK, Australia, APO address etc - please contact us first for a freight quote and ordering directions. Make sure to include your full shipping address and the specific items you would like to order.
If you want to order sandbags, we will need to know which sandbags you want as well as your shipping city and zip code.
If you do send an email or place a call to Shelby for quotes, tracking numbers etc, please remember to list the items you want, your full name and address, and include all correspondence with any replies.
This makes everything easier for everyone involved.
Thats all I can think of for the time being, its Paul Bunyan Day! So get a log bar to train with:

I purchased a new piece of software two weeks ago and I am still waiting for it to be delivered. I have sent a few emails asking the status and there isn't even any customer phone number -- and this pisses me off to no end!
