Joe, I hope you are well?
A quick one just to ask if any of your supplements will be making their way over to the UK soon? We don’t have anything anywhere near as good over here, especially your gut health sups, which I would really like to add to my daily routine.
Also, thanks once for all of your podcasts, vlogs, updates and workouts over the past few years. In an industry full of bad advice, you cut through the crap and offer sound educational advice which evidence of real results. Also the constant positive vibe from your podcasts is really uplifting, especially having gusts like Eric LeGrand really humbling, and incredible to listen to. Once I’ve listened to on of your shows I am ready to conquer the world.
Keep at it,

Thanks, Joe. Great information. Seems this would be a great option for travel workouts, perhaps coupled with mini-bands. Any experience using these in conjunction with fat gripz?
