The neatest consumer good I've purchased all year.

No prob. It's the Captains of Crush thread that I just bumped.

If you listen to music, you need these.

Unbelivable. I've never been happier with any purchase I've made, ever. When you are playing p**** and all you can hear is the music and your heartbeat, it's beautiful.

I have a pair of Shures that I would have used as my answer here had I not bought them last year.

Megan bought this for me as a gift. I had a horrid day at work and when I got home it was waiting with the doorman, a surprise. I'm thrilled. It rules. Everything about it, right down to the sepia edges on the pages because they were physically scanned.

Thanks Blarg. I might pick some up some day. They might be good for training at home without an elaborate setup.

Takes up almost no room and there are all kinds of things you can do with it -- explosive ballistic movements like swings, and slow grinds, passing it around the body in hand to hand drills, etc. Strength, endurance, or what they're calling now "strength-endurance," whatever. I really enjoy mine and think it's a terrific value even though it's so expensive.

I got the set of Steve Kotter's FullKOntact Kettlebells DVD's in the package deal when I got mine. Those DVD's are excellent, especially the second one. Some very creative exercises.

Here's a link to a guy who did a few e-book type thingies with a bunch of kettlebell exercises. I bought the encyclopedia of KB exercises. Very cheap, but still pretty good, with lots of exercises:

The standard kettlebell reference people refer to is Pavel Tstatsouline's Russian Kettlebell Challenge book. It comes in DVD too, but the book has a lot more info than the DVD does.

I think all of these products are worth buying. Cotter's are my favorite, though, but they are more specialized toward martial arts.

Now you'll know every club Les Paul has played in for like, the last 30 years.
