Hangair Wetsuit Dryer
October 15, 2009
A while back I posted about a wetsuit drying clothes hanger that could be used for drying your gi. At the time Hangair was still bringing the product to market, but now it’s been distributed and ready to be ordered.

If you live in a small place, you know how much of a pain in the ass it is to dry a gi day after day. If you don’t have laundry in your unit, washing your gi daily is out of the question, so it’s important to keep it dry and funk-free.

Exos has created high-tech casts that are 50% lighter than plaster and 25% lighter than fiberglass. The casts are dry-heat custom moldable, re-moldable, waterproof,and feature a lace compression system to adjust fit. Also they look effin sweet.
The reduction in bulk makes it a better candidate for training with certain injuries in submission grappling, as long as you don’t hit your training partner with it.
AdapTx Labs CardioFactor Supplement
October 1, 2009
They say the best technique to have is cardio. Conversely, your worst technique is to lack cardio.
Well, the good news is that AdapTx Labs has put out the first and only supplement designed to improve it.
The company was started by David Nader, M.S., MBA in 2007. Their medical advisor is Dr. J.P. Saleeby, and his expertise in what they call adaptogens seems to be the key behind how CardioFactor works. Adaptogens are natural substances that cause the body to better resist stress and fatigue. Despite its scientific-sounding name, adaptogens are more the domain of herbalists than scientists but Dr. Saleeby has done extensive modern study on them. The herbs have been in use for centuries in other countries as qi tonics or restoratives.
To be honest, I was very skeptical about this at first. There are a lot of scary products in the wild west of sports supplements. I began digging into their site and looking into the science behind the product. By comparison, AdapTx Labs’ technical documentation and background is miles beyond most other supplement companies – even big companies like Cytosport. So I decided to give it a whirl for a couple of weeks.

An Energy Drink for BJ Penn
September 29, 2009

Touted to have similar nutritional components as real blood, Blood Energy Potion would be ideal for the bloodthirsty UFC lightweight champ BJ Penn. Because when you train as hard as he does, you need a hard energy drink. Do I smell a sponsorship opportunity?
