Sneaky Bags from www.sneakybags.com






















My MSAR with the small rifle bag and active shooter bag.













Equipment Heads-up!



I just came across a line of products that seem like a great idea and thought I would share.




I'm not ate up with the Tacticool look of most police products. I like taking a below-the-radar approach if it is possible.


The idea behind Sneaky Bags, is not to attract undue attention, hence the "Sneaky" part. The popularity of "blackops" super tactical products is all over the place. You can get tactical cell phone holders and active shooter bags to carry all your gear. The problem with most of these items are the attract attention and look the part. There is nothing wrong with this, sometimes function over form is necessary, but, there is something to be said for a quieter approach.



These products from Sneaky Bags maintain a high degree of function while not attracting a lot of "look at me, I have a rifle" attention.





I have been using a small rifle bag and an active shooter bag from them for over a month now and I can say that I am liking the "sneaky tactical" side of these bags. They are well made in the USA.

















Check them out and think about how it can be tactical to go unnoticed.

Goal Setting


If your going to lift weights, then ask yourself, "What's my Goal?"


MUSCULAR ENDURANCE: The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to perform repeated contractions against light loads for an extended period of time.

  • Use lighter weights, complete 3-4 sets of 12-15 repetitions, take a shortened rest period of 60 seconds or less between sets

MUSCULAR HYPERTROPHY (GROWTH): Increase in muscle size and mass.


  • Use a moderate to heavy weight complete 2-4 sets of 6-10 reps; rest 30 to 90 seconds between sets

MUSCULAR STRENGTH: The maximal force a muscle or group of muscles can generate in one maximal effort.


  • Use heavy weight; complete 3-8 sets of 1-6 reps, rest 2+ minutes between sets

Chances are, if your lifting weights already then your doing something along these lines. The best option is to rotate every 4 weeks or so, from one method to another.
