    the gear i'm jonesin for ... aka the Christmas list thread

    just in case santa needs a little help on picking gifts out for us this year, let's all list the gear and goodies (at least SOME of your list has to be training-related) that we would love to see under the tree come december 25. if you don't dig the Christmas-ness, pick another holiday, but still share your wish list. and give links when possible.

    for me, it's a 52-lb. kettlebell and a pullup bar, plus a CPT instruction book from NSCA. oh yeah, and demon stone for me xbox.

    Well . . .

    The CPT course via NSCA (I have one of the older books, but I want certification through them in addition to the ISSA)

    Certification through Charles Poliquin's deal.

    An unlimited gas card

    About 1,000lbs of chocolate protein through Optimum Nutrition

    1,000 pounds of protein will pretty much take care of that unlimited gas card.

    A leather foam-lined 5' heavy bag and a Balasz stand to hang it on.
    A year's worth of weekly private lessons at my kwoon.
    Some Onitsuka Tigers in all black or black with red stripes.
    Some Asics Gables for lifting and training.
    A year's worth of protein would be nice too.
    A new titanium shoulder. Titanium-lined shins and forearms wouldn't go astray while they're at it.

    Why Balasz? Their s.hit is SO expensive. Here's a comparison chart I just made up:

    Freestanding heavy bag stand

    Normal company: US$150-250
    Balasz: US$1,000


    Ceiling mounted heavy bag holder:

    Normal company: US$10-20
    Balasz: US$150


    I say to Balasz, wtf, mate?

    Well, I could add that to my list, but I don't think my wife would get it for me. Although, it is exercise related - it'd provide a good workout.

    Balasz? It was a wishlist wasn't it? So I don't care how much it costs . When I eventually do get a heavy bag I'll probably weld up a free stand for it myself. The bag I want costs AUD$500ish anyway so it'll be a while.

    6 new students so I can make my rent.

    actually, that's it. I'd be super happy.

    Thats all I want... But its too expensive right now.

    I have pretty much all the equipment I need for now... But a 150 lb banana bag and a teardrop bag wouldnt hurt... Or some iron mind products...

    you don't have to be from texas to barbecue year round.

    i've grilled many a steak with a foot or two of snow on the ground.
