    What are your thoughts on which is better Lebert Equalizer or Dip Station?

    My first high step (with theFIRM) was an upside down 5 gallon paint bucket! I honestly used that thing for years! It worked...but I only used it for high steps ups with or without weights.

    The more I do X10, the more I like it. It really is a fun, metabolic(?) workout. I really like the weights incorporated into it...and yeah, I have not done the 77 minute scary bit yet....but maybe one day!
