    Whats the deal with Atomic Athletic?

    Apparently some guys on EF are not very happy with them!

    Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

    you mean besides the fact that roger lapointe is a spamming mofo who should be in jail for being such an ass?

    the guy is a spam king . be very careful of doing any business whatsoever with roger lapointe and atomic athletic if they are even in business anymore and not just trying to squueeze more dollars out of spam victims.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    I won't buy anything from him on principle. IE: he harvested my emails out of forums like this deviously and then relentlessly spammed me with his newsletters that I don't ask for nor want.

    THe guy has no ethics and ergo will not receive dime one from me and even less so any sort of a recommendation.

    Just poor form in my opinion...and apparently the opinion of many others.

    I'd rather pay a few extra dollars than give money to someone that operates in such a sleazy manner.

    Or you could just buy a kettlebell and get a more versatile piece of equipment.

    Why would a Kettlebell be more versitile? Both are weights with handles.

    Kettlebell's round shape and more open handle allows you to perform more versatile exercises.

    Well, I know at least one of the people who got burned by them. Which is too bad - as i was planning on scoring a stone ball.

    FWIW - www.woodendummy.net stiffed me on an order for a long pole. They took my money, and never heard from them.
