Lifting straps & belt
My RDL essentials. Once the weight gets heavy, I don't want my grip being the reason my legs have to stop.
Real life • genuinely useful
Life doesn't need to be perfect. Just mostly sorted.
Real-life shortcuts, useful finds and things that actually earn their place in my home, gym bag and everyday life.
See what I'm loving →The stuff that makes life easier.
No endless lists of things you supposedly need. Just practical recommendations, honest opinions and little shortcuts that have genuinely helped me.
Currently in my gym bag
Things I bought, use and would actually recommend.
Starting with the things that come to the gym with me again and again.
Beats headphones
Comfortable, stay put while I'm training and — importantly — don't spend half the session trying to escape my head.
Barbell pad
I don't use it for squats anymore, but it's brilliant for making Smith-machine glute bridges considerably less painful.
Training gloves
Because I like lifting weights. I am considerably less enthusiastic about the calluses that come with it.
Resistance bands
Simple, inexpensive and especially useful for elevated goblet squats and adding a little more to lower-body sessions.
My gym bag
Big enough for the ridiculous number of things I apparently require to lift weights — without feeling like I'm moving house.
