A lot of people have ideas for a new piece of equipment, but most of us don’t have the resources to bring it to life. I know for me, that’s probably OK because there are already enough bad ideas floating around, but once in a while something comes out that is so simple you think “why didn’t I think of that?”
You may have heard of Sorinex strength equipment. They’ve been around for years and make some really good equipment.
I had always wondered why their t-shirts and marketing material had a picture of an old-school mustache curled up on the ends. I mean, it was cute and all, but I didn’t get it….until I met Bert Sorin at a conference recently.
As soon as I saw him, I knew right then and there what the mustache logo was all about – Bert actually has a mustache like that. It’s awesome!
On top of having an amazing mustache, it turns out that Bert is a really cool guy. In fact, I think he’d be cool even if he didn’t have the mustache.
When I finally met him, he was messing around with a strange piece of metal with some roller hockey wheels on it. He told me that he just made it and it’s called the Glute Ham Roller. He showed me a couple of ways to use it, and my imagination instantly took off thinking about all the possibilities for this little thing-a-ma-jig.
I started messing around with it, and told Bert I had to have one. As soon as I got it into Total Performance, the rest of my staff started messing with it and using it during training sessions.
Right away, I knew I had to make a video showing some of the things you can do with it. I figured that, if I liked it this much, a lot of you would too. So, check out this 7-minute video showing the Sorinex Glute Ham Roller and a bunch of different exercises you can do with it. If you really like it – which you will – you can get yourself one at http://store.sorinex.com/Sorinex-Glute-Ham-Roller-p/ghr.htm
Like the piece of equipment, but I do all of these moves on my suspension trainer (TRX). Thoughts?
Scott, you can absolutely do most of these with different equipment. I’m not trying to sell anything. It’s just a really cool piece of equipment, but you can definitely do most of these on a suspension trainer. Good point.
