Free Lifelock?

I've been thinking about trying this do it yourself Lifelock. Apparently you just fill out a form every 90 days.

Parallettes


These are homemade parallettes. They are like gymnastic parallel bars but minified for home use. Sure, you could just go out and buy parallettes, but those things get awfully expensive. Oh sure, you don't want to break your neck with a shoddy product. Thats why I put these under some stress tests:

The bars are about a foot off the ground and a little less than 1.5 feet of usable bar space. It takes an entire ten-foot PVC pipe from your local hardware store, and was so easy to make, even I could do it! Best part is, it cost me only $40.

You can find the directions at CrossFit. And, if you want to see someone who uses parallettes properly, you should check out Randal Setzler's YouTube video (hint: you don't stand on them.)

And before I forget, I'd better give Zane his props for convincing me to do it. These things are fun!
