how can you go wrong with gravity boots when the following people used it?

Used by Del Preston in the 1992 movie Wayne's World 2

Used regularly by Kyle MacLachlan's character in the 1990s television series Twin Peaks.

Used by Homer Simpson in The Simpsons episode Simpson and Delilah to promote hair growth.

Buy an inversion table instead of gravity boots. Really helped with my lower back issues.

dude... I never said It works, all I stated was what he said, I know abs are primarily done in the kitchen, but you still wanna work them sometime to make sure they are rock hard ;) and apparently him hanging upside down moving his torso a little up flexing abs and back down works for him.....

Little tip on the side postcount has nothing to do with your actual kn owlage of bb or training as such ;) just a friendly reminder.

well for the past 19 years of standing up normally, he's never got laid, never put on muscle, never won a fight, never got permanent US citizenship, never had a good job, never had more than 50 bucks in his wallet and never benched more than 115 pounds. He figured, f**k this i'll try life upside down

LifeGear. Keep in mind it's a pod with a metal 360 pivot sitting on it. No need to spend more than 150$ on this.

why not just set the squack rack bar as high as it can go. Then hang from the bar with your knees bent over it..and while you hanging there improving your abs throwing some alternating db curls.


make sure that you get a friend to take a pic also
