The Problems with Exercise Equipment in Particular Hammer Strength

There are many reasons people do not work out, however, I think that one of the main issues is the price of some of the exercise equipment.  One company in particular that I want to talk about is Hammer Strength.  This company is overpriced machinery and yet you still see their products everywhere.  Here are just a few of the machines or pieces of equipment with their price point:
  • Hammer Strength Olympic Flat Bench ($2,249)
  • Hammer Strength VKR Vertical Knee Raise ($1549) 
    • This is a product that I think you could build with stuff laying around your house
  • Fixed Barbell set 20-60 pounds ($1549)
These prices are absolutely absurd and a company like this can build these machines for a fraction of the price and then up-charge like crazy.  As well as this, you think if you were to spend that much money on a piece of equipment, you would get it in a few days.  No, it will take at least two weeks and could even be four.  

The main product that caught me by surprise was the flat bench, you could find a similar product for probably $500 at Wal-Mart.  This company does nothing to try and help beginners and only pays attention to large gyms that already have a following.  This brand believes they have reached the top of workout equipment and do not look at ways to get into different regions of the workout industry.  I believe that they are contempt of where they are and do not try to innovate on cheaper machinery for at-home gyms.

What is better Calisthenics or Weight Lifting?

 In this article, I will argue for both sides of this topic and want to hear what you guys have to say about it as well.  I will lay out the benefits of why I believe each side is better and will not take one side over the other. To start, let's talk about why Calisthenics is better.  Firstly, I want to describe what calisthenics is: it is pretty much bodyweight workouts requiring many compound movements.  Calisthenics is better because it requires little to no equipment and you can save a lot of money by doing this.  As well as that, this type of working out is so much better for weight loss compared to weight lifting.  Since calisthenics requires a lot more movement, it is much easier to burn fat and strengthen your muscles.  We are not all trying to look like bodybuilders and calisthenics will give us that cut physique that we are looking for.  Also, these movements are a lot more common in things like sports or physical activities so this will...
