Shorts

Mid-thigh-length athletic shorts or lined shorts for extra comfort.

Shirts

• Breathable, quick-drying shirts made from materials like cotton-polyester blends or high-quality options like

• More expensive brands, e.g., Lululemon, have silver threads to prevent odor.

• Blue Eagle shirts are tri-blends that are relatively soft and last several years even after hundreds of sweaty workouts.

• Avoid loose-fitting clothing that can get caught on equipment and restrict movement.

• Also, avoid cotton shirts because they absorb sweat and become heavy and uncomfortable.

Grips

• Leather or isoprene grips to protect your hands and improve grip on bars. Grips can have fingerholes or be fingerless.

• My preferred grips are fingerless and made of isoprene by Element 26

Optional Equipment

Shin guards

• Protect your shins from rope climbs or barbell scrapes.

• My shin guards are made by Unbroken

Knee sleeves

• Provide stability for squatting, especially for those with knee issues.

• Knee sleeves provide compression, so you want sleeves that fit tightly around your knee.

• The brand of my knee sleeves is Ironside.

Additional Tips:

• Talk to your coach for personalized recommendations based on your needs and preferences.

• Don't stress about having everything on this list – focus on finding comfortable and functional gear that works for you.

• Most importantly, have fun and stay safe in your workouts!
