  • Rack options

  • Competitive pricing

  • Innovative pulley systems

The estimated launch date is May 1st, 2024. But you can sign up for an email notification on Rogue’s site should that date change.

OMG, Shoes

NOBULL Rec Trainers

Your daily WOD gets bonus points if you don’t have to change back and forth between running shoes and weightlifting shoes in the middle of your workout.

Even better is if your CrossFit shoes are comfortable and versatile enough to wear into the gym and out of the gym. The NOBULL Rec Trainers, now known as NOBULL Recs, do just that—provide enough cushioning and versatility to be comfortable during your workouts, or casual activity.

For our NOBULL Rec Trainer review, we had distance runner and NOBULL shoes aficionado Amanda Capritto test out these training shoes. Read on to see if the level of versatility of these shoes matches your needs and training.

How Protein Powder is Made

Protein powder is not just for athletes and bodybuilders. Consuming protein can help muscle protein synthesis (aka muscle growth) regardless of your athletic abilities. Plus, protein intake is essential for folks of all ages, especially growing kids and older adults.

If you’re unfamiliar with protein as a dietary supplement, we’ve compiled a guide to answer the question: How is protein powder made? While there are different types of protein powder (including plant-based protein powders and animal-based proteins), they all start with raw materials and ingredients and go through a manufacturing process to get the final protein supplement product in powder form.
