Gym gear I can not live without

[tarmyg]

About once per year, I buy new shoes and some other stuff. The wear and tear when doing CrossFit compared to walking around my old gym are quite substantial.

Considering we got a bunch of other fitness nerds on here what are some of your favorite gym gear that you would never trade for anything else?

My current favorite shoe is FASTLIFT 335 from Inov8. Better than barefoot squatting in my book. LINK: FASTLIFT 335

My favorite shorts are American Defender Shorts 2.0 (Patriot Edition) from Born Primitive. LINK: American Defender Shorts

I never went to the gym without

- Lock for my Locker
- backup apple headphones (I put them in a dice bag for storage)
- lifting gloves (specifically used football receiver gloves)

[clarky.]

Wraps, straps and ear plugs for the tunes.

[cousinmuscles]

My sandals

Chalk

Squat shoes (2008 adistars) for squat days

That's it. I always have chains in the car in case the gyms dipping belt is gone.

Edit: and rubber band for shoulder mobility and foam roller...

[-Ender-]

UA tank top....that's about it.

About two months back I bought a pair of Jabra elite active earbuds. They have been serving me well.

Yep! I forgot the water. Usually go through a gallon milk jug of water or a couple of 2L bottles of water. I have a Klipsch subwoofer and satellite speakers in the shop, so I either hook up the MP 3 player or my phone.

Oh man, I've always heard those we're the gold standard for audiophiles, but never have gotten a chance to to listen to them.

My setup is just a basic one really made for use with a computer, but for 200w it does a good job and the subwoofer has help up surprisingly well considering the temperature extremes it has been exposed to.

Lmfao very true!!

[guitarzan]

All I have is a wrist brace for presses, and belt for squatting. Wrist is getting better, bout dont use the brace anymore

[Charlie67]

Gum.

Everything else I can live without. If i don't have gum I grit my teeth so hard my jaw hurts. I've been thinking about getting a mouthpiece, but it's just too weird. On bench day, i have this consistent habit of wrapping the gym around my teeth so i don't suck it down while breathing. When i don't have gum it's like my whole set up is off.

Yeah, if i die while benching it'll be a ridiculous reason.

Negative. Got them at a local business that was closing. Dirt cheap.

My favorite is my REDWING STEEL TOED BOOTS for squatting. The heel helps to keep my heel planted while preforming the reps.

You might want to consider wearing shorts to the gym.

Maybe check out the New Age mouthpiece if you decide to try one.

They aren't as obtrusive as this style mouth guard.

I tend to clench my jaw as well and the dental work gets expensive.

Nothing like a good bargain.....I was just busting your chops, I was shocked how expensive they were.

Yeah, I'd never spend that kinda money on speakers. Well, unless they fit on the Harley...

You want to have a perfect body? You are tired of having shame and not be able to remove your t-shirt? Your friends laugh at your weights?

I finally just bought 2 new pair of workout pants last month. I've had the other 2 for 12 years since I started working out.

Picked up a 1982 FXB Sturgis a couple months ago. Love that bike.

I should have seen that coming. Nice work Al!


If I am pressed for time and wearing work clothes and boots: I will just drop-trou for squats. Since I am the only one in the dungeon it's a non issue.
The old lady will happen bye upon occasion, but when I'm training she always looks at me like I have three heads anyway.....
