  1. Barbells, body weight, and anchor chains. In the proper configuration, these dual-use components or common household ingredients could be used in the manufacture of lethal human weapon systems. These goods, some whose trade is banned in the Fitness Industrial Complex under the auspices of non-personal proliferation, should only be used outside the jurisdiction of the establishment. The implementation of sanctions on the pursuit of personal proliferation will prohibit eliciting a gladiotronic reaction, or the transmutation from mortal to modern gladiator.
    In area 324, the most technologically volatile ideas mix with the vestiges of the past to combine a heretical mix of subhuman super fuel with neo-cosmic results.
    The novelty of beating a large object (in most cases a tire) has long since expired. The demand for precision guidance coupled with the sacred finesse of the sledge is marginal at best. In order to qualify as a deadly weapon one must be able to deploy the hell-hammer against his peer of equal posture; hence, the rubber man dummy. Again, more crap put out by, in this case the martial arts industry, turned useful. I just wonder how well it will hold up to the machete. Coming soon.
    The cephalic strikes required more accuracy, core activation, stability, rebound, and recovery than the shotgun approach of the tire strikes. Honing these skills if paramount for effective concealed carry and deployment.
    The anchor chain is yet the most astounding piece of kit hitherto discovered. 40 meters was beyond anaerobic threshold as manifested by the sudden drop in velocity at the half way point. Intervals started at 30 sec on with 1.5 min of rest and slowed to almost a 1:1 ratio. Moving fast or slow doesn't change the effects as would be expected in other low impact activities such as running or rowing. Going slower does not constitute the ability to go longer.
    Shop at your local junk yard or ship yard for your next piece of kit.
