Powermax rings vs Elite rings

Nick Cruz · 10-27-2006, 11:51 AM

Are there any huge differences between these rings? Seems that they have both come up with some kind of texture on the ring and a strap system that doesnt bruise the arm.

Any big differences?

DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE THE ELITE RINGS. I DO KNOW THAT THE ELITE RINGS ARE GREAT AND AFFORDABLE, EASY SET UP ETC...I WILL BE PUTTING SOME TAPE ON THE RINGS OR USE CHALK, HOPE THIS HELPS.

Matthew,

It took me a minute, but funny! I actually counted my keys to figure out which one you were holding, stared at it then laughed. David

LOL

There is actually a reg hack to disable caps which I use since cap locks is so annoying and useless.

The PowerMax ring is based off the AAI competitive Lexan Ring. The straps are much thicker and thus seem less likely to be rough on the arms. The hardware is a thick cast aluminum, and can definitely handle most training environments. I have used smoothe rings, but I do like the texture of the PowerMax ring.

is there a crossfit discount on the rings?
