History
If you have ever watched a baseball game you have likely seen batters on deck warming up with an accessorized weight known as a donut. This weight is specifically designed for practice use to increase strength isolated to the muscles used in the batter's swing.
Lacking a similar product in lacrosse, two varsity coaches from Colorado engineered a similar product, but enhanced their lacrosse “nut”, The LAXNUT, to allow for adjustable weights and accessories to accommodate training for athletes of all levels.
