Bro (early 20s, 6'2", 175) loads 25 lb bumpers on a bar at squat height and places a bench behind him, parallel to the bar. Now, I grew up a mile down the road from Mike Boyle's facility so I know what's coming next. Emaciated looking guy, bumpers, bench... Bulgarian Split Squat time, right?! Wrong!
Bro takes the bar in a passable front rack, puts one foot back on the bench and performs what I can only describe as a single leg split jerk. Dip and drive off the lead leg and then he'd reach the lead leg a bit further out for the catch. Good trick.
I'm not allowed to criticize people being loud with 400 pound, because I've never tried it myself. Today though, people were just obnoxiously loud in general, prancing around with exagerated upper body yaw rotation and shouting. "Look at me I have big biceps", "That guy has big biceps too, he's my friend". Not that it bothers me, I find it entertaining like Animal Planet.
"Easy to carry" matching karibina clip perhaps to attach it to purse?
I think that little clip is where you're supposed to hang your balls from.
But if you have those gloves do you have the balls to wear them!?!?!?
For the website ad/info:
"Custom Build Materials
You won’t find cheap leathers or outdated fabrics. Our SKINTEXTURE™ material is super thin and light weight, making it the thinnest & gloves gloves on the market. Weighing only 7 grams, they are 1.35mm thick. That’s as thin as the U.S. dime coin. Our state of the art materials preserves both your flexibility and your natural sense of touch
Harder contraction
More skin-to-bar contact means your brain has maximum sensory connection with the bars. This allows you to contract each muscle in your forearms with maximum intensity."
It almost sounds like an argument for NOT wearing gloves. . . .
AND then there's this pic:
Seems there in the wrong place for presses; woundn't you want the 'glove' between the bar and heel of the palms . . . AND if you turn this pic upside down for pulls, it seems once again its in the wrong place on your hand/fingers. much confuse

Hahahahahaha welcome to the hell women with big thighs have lived through for decades! There's something to be said for skirts when the weather allows it, except then you have to take measures to prevent chafing.
In all seriousness, we haven't really figured out how to fix this in formal pants, though there's a shop that'll fix the blown-out thighs on your jeans: Denim Repair - Denim Doctor - Repair Jeans - Denim Therapy NYC
As for that article, again, welcome to women's hell -- I couldn't even get especially outraged, because it just sounds like every single women's fitness article I've ever read. (Which is not to say I'm not mad -- it's just that I'm basically this mad all the time.) That poor woman setting up to deadlift with a fully rounded back and her ribs sticking out is a new one, though.
Notice that they've put in a disclaimer about not doing this diet/routine for more than two months at the outside -- which means they know damn well this is unhealthy and unsustainable, but God fucking forbid women have big thighs!
Press and quarter squats on a Bosu ball, both with the same weight.
