    I want one for sure I see. The 30lb one and was going to buy, but I’m looking for that that’s like a 2inch Olympic bar basically what this is! I’ve seen a few out there that are like fat grip Olympic bars. This seems to be exactly what I need tho..

    Have to give tremendous kudos to PK from Fringe. This is not the first time I hear him speak about his company’s products and I always come out impressed with the passion the man has for what they produce. I am a fanboy of another company, but will be buying 10lb bumpers from his company and will give his new power bar serious consideration when it comes out. He totally won me over and I want him and his company to succeed.

    First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to not only watch but to leave this comment! Second thing is I agree 100% about Peter! In the time I’ve known him, he has proven himself to be a person of tremendous integrity in a lot of ways, and I love how conscientious he is about the way he runs his business. I think you will be very happy with the bumper plates you get from him, and I’m just as excited as you are to check out his new power bar when it comes out!

    my guy what's up! I'm definitely a child of the 80s and early 90s. I remember LL's first album in 84, KRS ONE, PE. Can't beat that generation for creativity and lyricism in my opinion so most of my KZread Shorts have music taken from the artists who came up in that era although I do have some favorites from the early 2000s as well.

Here are her thoughts: From Naomi: "Yeah I can see that about the touch controls just knowing which one does what. The Fitness Earbuds have an easier response to the tap whereas with the Everyday Earbuds there's a slight delay, it does take some getting used to. I've never used the older version with the touch controls but I'm glad they're still working for you!"
