Realistically I can use my atlas stones to do the same thing. However, the Globe is a little more versatile since its weight adjustable, the primary source of weight moves during the lift, and its much more portable than several stones.
I really felt this one in my biceps, hands, back, chest, and shoulders. With the ball adding another 14lbs I didn't think trying to pick up a 125lb kettlebell would be such a chore.

Rogue Globes
Damn I love getting new toys.
Last night this big ball of fun came in the mail along with my new Onyx Bands from EFS and between that and the truck being delivered with my racks and other items I'm like a fat kid at a buffet...or just me at a buffet. I get pretty happy about buffets.
So anyways I couldn't wait to get this thing hooked up and rock some pullups. Or at least a few. Its tough! As in theres nothing to grab onto so hold on for life sort of tough. Not having any sort of grip really puts the stress on the arms and chest since you have to squeeze the living hell out of the ball in order to stay on. Otherwise you will just slip right off.
This thing will definitely be a good time and Im glad I got one while they are in stock. I've been pining for one since the Arnold so many months ago and Rogue has been out of stock since. I have some ideas for this that Im sure will add some fun twists to workouts later on.
