Your clients are going to love you or curse you! :) Cool Michael,

I was shocked by how cheap it is for something that is hand constructed. He just gave me an estimate of $180 to build and ship the device, so I think I'm going to pick one up at the end of the month.

In a Roman Chair Squats have your feet under a bar and your legs supported by the Roman Chair itself. If you see the video you will see that the exercise I described is almost exactly like the Quad Blaster. It puts you in the same position, but your feet are not supported by any straps at all. The bar itself replaces the strap that goes back behind you. I think this is about the closest thing to the Quad Blaster that you can get. I agree that actions, results and experience speak louder than words and that's why I say don't knock it until you try it. Jeff Anderson and Nick NIlsson know quite a bit about exercise physiology and they specifically recommend this exercise, even calling it "The Quad Blaster Workout". Give it a try and compare it to the Quad Blaster. I think you'll see that your actions, resultts and experience will be in agreement with that of Jeff and Nick.

Sometimes things that seem the same on the surface, can deliver totally different experiences. What everyone didn't see in your vid but I got to witness firsthand, was Tom V on the QB. And let me tell everyone, if the QB can offer someone of Tom's status that big of a challenge, it's got to be seriously intense. BTW, 545 days straight and 8 years of experience is huge and a lot more than most people can claim. Your word is good enough for me at this point. Hey Adam,

Get your own QB and document your progress with it. By the look of your quads now I think you would get a good number of reps right out of the gate. P.S. Carlos does ship internationally too.
