      speaking of balls, a forum member told me get some kettlebells & stop being a pu$$y, so i ordered some bells.  will advise how it goes.

      i still haven't heard from the good folks at Goruck besides them telling me to go to the website & I can do everything there. Don't think I will be coming out West for a challenge the way they have bombed on this.

      Hate to be that guy, well not really but you know

      maybe we can plan something else?  still want to sit Adam313 down & give a big ol' kiss to LuLu, hahahaha

        yeah Goruck is really dropping the ball with service and if there was ever a bad crew to do that on, this would be it. Keep up the good work those of you who are training for this and fret not, we'll come up with something that accomplishes the same end result.

          You won't regret this

          Unless you try to snatch a 70lb kettlebell

          Then you might regret it

          Nah

            guess i will find out when they land on the 1st & you know i'll hold you to it.

            on Goruck news, they refunded me for my troubles today, no idea what happened with anyone else.

            anybody care to check in?

                I just sent them an email requesting a refund. We'll see what happens….

                      They heavy, they oh so heavy.  Think i might have to go to the "girl" sizes to get my form right & then work up to these, got a 16 & 20KG & should have taken into account the person telling me to get them as starters walks around with a IronHeart loving gorilla on his back all day.

                      damn shame

                        I have a 12 & 16. 12 was tough when I 1st started. Now I use the 16 most if the time.

                          I messaged them through their website, and I got a response pretty quickly. They tried to haggle with me and give me credit for another event, or store credit, but I really just wanted a refund. I got it! They handled it really well and they were very nice and apologetic. Way to make it right Goruck.

                                  I'm done with Goruck. They will not be getting anymore money from me.  They finally gave me my money back but, I had to fight them tooth and nail. They never moved my Goruck Light when I asked them to change the date back in September. We battled back and forth and they were still reluctant to reimburse me even though I showed them an email that came from them stating they would move my challenge.  I would be interested in something else, I am open to any ideas.

                                      There are other companies that do events like this

                                      I know we like their gear but don't have to do their events given the bad communication and customer service
