Hours and Schedule Details, Homeade Training Gear

I would like to introduce everyone to two partners in crime. The fellow on the left is a 25lb slammer named "stonehenge the dirty druid", one of a pair of slammers that John and I made during the summer. The other guy is a communist named Rummy, my very first pet kettlebell.

I wanted to show the simplicity and longevity 20 bucks and a tiny amount of time can get you. All we did was cut open basketballs (after giving up on pouring sand in through a puncture hole, if you don't let some air escape while adding sand this project will take you days to finish) and pour in sand while they sat on a scale. We managed to get 24lbs in and then I just went nuts with some leftover camo tape (stonehenge) and black gorilla tape (John's slammer) until the weight was around 25lbs. I have tried to kill this damn thing every which way and it still maintains exactly 25lbs and hasn't leaked at all. The slammer instructions you can find around the net will most likely have some tire repair kit ideas and sealant ideas, and other waste of time stuff. I tried all those and found that just using a crapload of ducktape is easier, faster, and cheaper.

Some creative spraypainting and an embarassing childhood full of Dungeons and Dragons should fill out the creative aspect of giving your little slammer an identity so you may one day introduce it to your online buddies.
