  • El Increible Profesor Zovek

  • "El Profesor" Zovek is the greatest strength athlete you've never heard of. In the late 1960's Zovek became a national hero in his native Mexico when he performed a number of incredible strength feats and escapes on television to raise money for charity.

    Among them: he performed 17,800 situps without stopping (!) in an eight hour span... he skipped rope for nine consecutive hours... smashed through wooden boards with his fists and even held back a team of motorcycles with his teeth. He went on to star in a few Mexican wrestling movies with the likes of Blue Demon.

  • Progressive Log Training
  • Progressive Log TrainingProgressive Log Training

    Some of our military friends will have some "fond" memories over this one...

    How do you exercise large groups of men in a short amount of time with limited equipment and only a few trained instructors?

    Logs like this one are the military solution -- and a great way to build strength, stamina, coordination as well as teamwork. "Log Drill" exercises include situps, squats and overhead presses -- and they only work when everyone works together.
