Is the new Hyper Pro from Freak Athlete truly the holy grail of workout equipment? Today, we’re gonna take a deep dive into its features, benefits, and performance to see if it lives up to the claims.
I’ve never seen a home gym equipment quite like this!
Today, I am reviewing the latest addition to my home (apartment) gym—the JoySong Home Gym Cube Rower! It is a compact, beautifully designed, and multi-functional piece of equipment that allows you to perform a wide range of exercises in the comfort of your home.
So… Is it worth it?
When I say “weekend warrior”? What comes to mind?
You’re probably thinking of that crazy person in the office who you’ve never really seen going to the gym, yet is telling you all about that spartan race they are about to jump into with only 2 weeks notice.
Or your buddy who is salivating at the chance to re-live his HS football glory days at this weekend's upcoming flag football match with the guys despite not having worked out more than 2 times in the past 3 months.
And you’d be right. Those certainly fall in that category of weekend warrior.
And I used to be one of them.
Yes, even though I worked out 5-6 days/week, I still wrecked my body on the weekends by overloading it with new activities, too many hours of sports, and too little recovery.
Because a weekend warrior is truly just someone who may dive into new activities, un-prepared, and tries to “go too hard”.
And 4-5 years ago, that was me. And it got me an ACL rupture, patella fracture, 2 calf tears and a lower back strain all within a year.
But hey, even despite having all those injuries - being someone who likes to constantly be faced with new challenges in a physical capacity and push my body to the limits is just who I am. And maybe you can relate to that.
That’s why I wanted to share 3 top things that I’ve adopted into my life to help me, your crazy weekend warrior friend, to stay injury-free.
And hey, I'm not gonna jinx it, but it has been 4+ years now 🙂
What do you do when you get hit by a life-altering injury despite being fit all your life?
In this video, I share the effective habits that helped me recover from my ACL surgery.

You guys have heard me talk about the Knees Over Toes /ATG program on this channel for a while now, and it's obviously good for the knees, right? But I haven't talked much about how this program has also helped my shoulders.
As a volleyball player, I am constantly using my shoulders for hitting and blocking, digging, all sorts of motions. And obviously volleyball is not the only sport that uses the shoulders. There are many, many sports that require a lot of range of motion and strength in the shoulder. And just like the knees are very common injury, the shoulders are as well.
So today in this video, I want to go over my top five favorite exercises from the knees over toes program that has made the biggest impact on my shoulders and my ability to continue to perform my sport well and stay injury free.
