My Unrestrained Review Of Mike Chang’s Six Pack Shortcuts Program

Learn The Real Truth About Mike Chang’s Six Pack Shortcuts Program In This Painfully-Honest, Candid Review

review of Six Pack Shortcuts

Maybe you’ve seen some of Mike Chang’s Youtube videos and some ads for his Six Pack Shortcuts program, but you’re not quite sure what to think of him, his product, and his company. Well, after six months of reviewing everything, I finally got something published – that is the final word, if you will, on the Six Pack Shortcuts program. In fact, it was such an ordeal that I created a whole website just for it here: www.sixpackshortcutscompletereview.com.

Now, let’s get one thing straight. I was pretty nice in the Six Pack Shortcuts Review that I wrote for the general public. As always, I tried to be as unbiased as possible and truly look for the good in this product (there is a good bit of it), even if I truly wanted to hate it from the get-go. Truth be told, there are some things that I really – REALLY – don’t like about Six Pack Shortcuts, and you’re going to get a taste of that here.

Now, I gave Six Pack Shortcuts an overall rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars, and in hindsight, even that may have been too generous for a general product review that isn’t geared for any particular audience.

But in this review of Six Pack Shortcuts, for my audience (ie not the general public), I’m not exactly going to hold anything back. In other words, I’m going to include some things that I intentionally left out in the other one because of the audience I was addressing. Said another way, you guys are going to get a little extra special attention and insider info that I left out of the other review, just because I like ya so much. Fair enough? Great.

Comparing Three Pro-Grade, Competition-Style Kettlebells (Video Review)

Find Out The Top Two Best Companies To Buy Your Pro-Grade, Competition-Style Kettlebells From

The first kettlebells I ever used were some classic Russian kettlebells from Dragon Door about 8-9 years ago. Those were totally “the thing” for awhile there. But as I got more and more into kettlebell training, I started to hear about a new kind of kettlebell. Depending on who you asked, they were either called “pro-grade kettlebells” or “competition-style kettlebells.” And what made them unique was that they were made of steel, instead of iron, and also that their dimensions were universally the same regardless of weight. So, a 16 kg Pro-Grade Kettlebell would be the same exact size and shape (ie dimensions) as a 32 kg Pro-Grade kettlebell. Obviously, that’s a distinct advantage that pro-grade kettlebells have over traditional iron kettlebells.

Since then, I’ve used several different kinds of pro-grade kettlebells, which has led me to discover that there are some minor differences from manufacturer to manufacturer, which is why I wanted to post this review today.

You see, after trying all those different KB brands, I’ve narrowed my most recommended pro grade kettlebells down to two manufacturers. No matter who you are or what your goals are, I think that you can be best-served by the KB’s from these two companies. They’ve got ALL your bases covered if you want a pro-grade kettlebell, and you’ll find out why in this video review.

Review of the Xero Shoes Huarache-Style Minimalist Sandals (aka Invisible Shoes)

A Comprehensive Product Review of the Xero Shoes Minimalist Footwear for (Almost) Barefoot Running, Walking, Hiking, Yoga, and More! (aka “Invisible Shoes”)

Note: Xero Shoes were formerly branded as Invisible Shoes. The product is one and the same, but you should know that this is technically an Invisible Shoes review because I got my sets before the company re-branded. I don’t think it matters either way.

Xero Shoes Review - Invisible Shoes ReviewIt was 10 degrees below freezing this morning, and I can’t think of a better day to publish my review of the Xero Shoes, which is really more of a high-tech sandal or flip flop than a shoe. I may not be going to the beach anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to bring you this review of a superb minimalist footwear option.

I started evaluating these early this year – somewhere between the transition from Winter to Spring up here in New England. And I’ve put them through a lot of use in a lot of varying conditions and situations to see how they measure up.

So far, I’m pretty impressed and heartily recommend them to most people – given the right conditions. In particular, if you’re at-all interested in an affordable minimalist footwear option for normal minimalist footwear reasons, and/or you’d entertain the idea of getting a set of high-tech flip flops, that in my opinion, are way – WAY – better than normal flip flops for a number of reasons, then you may be interested in Xero Shoes. However, if you live in Siberia, then I wouldn’t throw away your Mukluks just yet.

All of the pros and cons of the product will be covered in this review, where hopefully, I’ll help you decide if Xero Shoes are right for you.

Primal Stress Review - Scott Sonnon

Scott Sonnon – creator of the Primal Stress program.

I’ve spent the last week looking over the materials of Scott Sonnon’s new Primal Stress program. My hope was to gather enough information and insight to bring you a comprehensive product review that will help you decide whether or not this program would be a good fit for you, your goals, and circumstances.

I quickly discovered that Primal Stress encompasses far more than I originally expected, and includes far more educational material than any of Sonnon’s previous releases. Not only is it massive in scope (over 18 hours of video footage and over 500 pages of reading material); it’s also extremely deep. Naturally, one week is not nearly enough time to go over it all. And that’s why this isn’t going to be so much of a comprehensive product review as it will be a brief analysis based on my first impressions.

So, today, I’m not going to give you the point-by-point pro’s and con’s like I usually do in my other product reviews. The reason being that this program is much the same as Sonnon’s past product releases – only better – and I’d just be rehashing points I’ve made again and again in the past.

First things first, I’ve been anticipating this program’s release since Scott told me about it privately last year. I could tell he was very excited about this program because it would be different from his other work.

I’ve reviewed almost all of Sonnon’s programs that have been released since 2006 (and a handful prior to that). Having said that, I’ll be up front and say that it is my opinion that this is absolutely Scott Sonnon’s best work to date – by far. And it’s not just because the quality of information that he’s bringing or how well it’s packaged. It’s because this program has a little something called heart. It’s obvious upon first opening the manual that Scott truly poured his heart into this one, and he shares so much of himself in this distillation of his work.

It’s hard for me to describe exactly how this has impacted the product as a whole, but I think anyone who actually uses this program will know exactly what I mean. Suffice to say, this is not just another workout program. What Scott has done with Primal Stress is nothing short of revolutionary. This is a collection of work that truly matters and is greatly needed in our day and age.
