I was thinking of a catchy name for my "small box" gym, so the other day I was watching the program "breaking Bad" which is a dark comedy about a chemistry teacher who has terminal cancer. So to finance is family after his demise, he decided to go into the business of making Meth, which is very profitable. Now a nerdy chem teacher is the last guy you would think would be making drugs. The term 'breaking bad' come from the southern vernacular for "break bad" or go out of normal convention or reject normal forms of social or legal standards. Sounds good to me.

The training and equipment I us is all executed out of non traditional fitness methods and or modified to what I view as functional to use for training based on experience and past success of people who exercised in years past without the benefit of drugs or high tech equipment.
