What is Lavar Ball’s new product?
Lavar Ball seems to be quite enthusiastic about the new product. As the 55-year-old pitched his idea to the people, many came out with criticism. Apparently, many were against spending $1850 on a set of exercise bars. Yes, you read that right. Taking to his social media, the legend suggested, “Get this set up if you want to invest in your kid and he wanna be stronger than the rest.” While as usual, the man was great in marketing endeavors, what really caught people’s attention was the price.
This is a set of three bars that is made for dips and push-ups. In association with BBB Fabrication, Ball has already introduced the product to the market. However, the reactions are not very enthusiastic. Several, including certified strength and conditioning specialists, deemed the idea of investing such a substantial sum in this type of equipment as absurd.
While there are numerous more affordable and efficient alternatives, do you think they will buy this pricey promise? Despite the criticism, Ball is seen endorsing the bars with his son on social media. While the 55-year-old never stepped onto a professional basketball court himself, he ensured a unique and rigorous training regimen for his children.
