At lot of students referred to the piece of equipment as \"only pro athletes get these\" and \"I've seen this thing in movies\". Those little comments just shows how much our students enjoyed the new equipment and how much it meant to them to have it. The weight lifting belts were great because the students were able to maximize their weight safely.
