achy muscle ballz

I'm currently deployed to IRQ and got to jonezin for a handleball. Swings with dumbells suXorZ.
I checked out a buncha companies and many wouldn't ship to APOs. Some would, for an extra $1000000000000 dollarz. Some were just waaaaay overpriced.
<cough>dragonballz<cough>
Anyhoo, enter Muscle Driver, or whatever. Google it if you're confused. I emailed 'em and got a response the same day. Nice. They were ready to deal. A 53# kettlebomb plus shipping to Arock was under $100. Pretty schweet.
I received aforementioned handleball in just over a week in a heavy, well taped cardboard box. Inside it had packing mat'l to keep it from breaking
and a nice baggie to keep it from rusting. This is a hi-tech operation. It's the grey ball with a finish about the same texture as the older dragonballz. I think the handle is a bit taller, not much, than both dragonballz and K2s. Did a few snatches and LCCJ. I can't tell the difference, but of coarse I'm no SRKC or nuthin. Kinda weerd, the ball has a giant O ring on the bottom. Maybe so you don't leave scratches on granny's coffee table? Maybe as a reminder to maintain that anal-lock? I dunno, but I will say this has been an outstanding transaction.
