Jesus Christ, the things some of you "need" to lift weights is nuts! I've been lifting weights for 20+ years. Only equipment I have used has been straps for heavy deadlifts. Wrist wraps? are you benching 600lbs?!? Elbow sleeves?!? Do these even have a point unless you are in the realm of strong man/body builder weight?! If you wear a belt for heavy squats or deadlifts, I get it. But other than that, the other shite is all useless.

Now get off my lawn, you pesky kids!


meh, not tough to get to bag level. I carry leather belt, nylon belt with chain, and straps. I use at least one every workout. I have the smallest bag though

Those I can understand. What I don't understand are the elbow and wrist wraps? For what?!

But even with those, you aren't using your leather belt at the same time as your belt with a chain. Go in the locker room, change into your gym clothes, grab your leather belt, and put your bag in a locker. I cannot think of a single muscle group work out that will require two or three different sets of equipment. How often are you doing deadlifts and weighted dips in the same workout?

I'm pretty sure DeafJam is a competitive weightlifter and/or Strongman FWIW
