You can not go naked at the gym, would just be uncomfortable, well and I guess unhygienic!
Very comfortable and breathable. Allows you to do a great range of motion while making sure your shirts arent doing anything embassering and properly covering you, so that you can focus on just you.
Adidas Men's Lounge T-shirt
If you want something that is not cotton based I would recommend this. I have washed it at least 60 times and the logo is still attached and not fading away like a thanos snapped person that you usually get with workout T-shirts.
Adidas Men's Essentials Training T-Shirt
If you just want something with no logo that you can rock without having to worry about quality or having to pay an arm or leg for clothing, you can not get anything better than the Essentials.
Real Essentials 5 Pack
I honeslty have grown to love the champion brand. It all feels quality, and is true to size. I have never had a issue with the brand, and I plan to always have it in my closet.
Champion Men'S Classic T-Shirt
Once again this is what most of my gym shorts are is champion brand not just due to the quality, but also for the fact I can wear them out in public and fit in just about anywhere that's not suit and tie.
Champion Men's Shorts
If you want non cotton based shorts that also look good these are always a go to for myself personally.
Champion Men's Sport Shorts
I have purchased this pack 2 separate times in the last 4 years not because of the bad quality, but for the fact that they are super comfortable and come in a variety of colors.
Real Essentials 5 Pack
Shoes
If you are trying to deadlift or have a great leg day with running shoes, or just anything that is not flat it is kind of worrying. Because of the risk of instability, it mitigates the muscles in your foot from actually getting stronger and stabilizi...
I have used a few of these in the past, and they will allow your feet to get stronger. The con is that it will hurt for awhile whenever you use them because our feet are use to a lot of padding, so fair warning to you. Id recommend these if you are on a budget b...
WHITIN Men's Minimalist Barefoot Inspired
Ive had Metcons 7s since they first came out, and honestly I love them when I'm lifting. I always feel supported with no upcharging gimmick or anything. The quality is what surprised me most because they still look completely fine even now. I would h...
Nike mens Metcon 7
Vans will alwasy have a place in my heart. Growing up this would always be what I gravitated towards. I did not realize until later that a lot of professional lifters actually wear vans to workout in. Which makes sense because of the flat sole. If yo...
Vans Unisex Old Skool Classic Skate Shoes
These are the chief kiss of ankle support honestly. I can not think of anyone who has not owned a pair growing up or even now. If you want a good looking shoe supports your ankles, but do not limit your mobility I give my upmost confidence.
Converse M9162 White Beige White CT AS HI Can
These honestly feel like walking on clouds. I have never felt more comfortable wearing a shoe honestly. Sketchers use to always be a meme growing up, but now they actually put in the time and work, which made a beauty and affective shoe.
Skechers men's Gorun
Pre Work-Out
Everyone needs a boost to push them throughout their heavy set days. I do not recommend taking prework every single day when you are working out. I know it feels so much better and you just feel like a beast, but it is not the best for ya! Need you all around to share the love. So be responsible you little caffeine goblins.
This is the demon that will whisper sweet words in your ears while you are blasting your thighs on the leg press saying you got this pushing you every single second. If the gym is the place where you release your anger, your sadness, and just want to... high stim pre-workout to me. Hell, I would say the pinnacle.
RAW Pre Workout Powder, Thavage - Blackberry
If you love the green smoothies aka veggies galore, you would kill for this. It is super fresh honestly and refreshing. I loved it the first week but after awhile I missed the fake taste of blueberry blast or something else artificial lol. I would hi...
RAW Thavage Preworkout Powder - Green Crush
My wifes favourite! I personally do not like peach flavoured things due to the fakeness it usually comes with, but this doesn't taste artificial at all honestly and is super pleasant to drink! 10/10 Cbum daddy did it again
RAW Preworkout Powder, Thavage - Peach Bum
If you are on a budget this is a solid choice that will not let you down in both quality and taste. I have never felt sick when taking this product during or after my workout. If you want some pep in your step for the rest of the day after during and... this is a solid choice.
Mr. Hyde Signature Pre-Workout
I always recommend having a Stim free Pre-Workout if you drink a lot of coffee or energy drinks throughout the day before or after you go to the gym. For the sole reason that I DO NOT WANT YOU TO FALL OVER AND DIE LIKE A SACK OF POTATOS. This will still give you the pump and focus that you want without the caffeine. Which is good for those with heart conditions, those who are caffeine sensitive, and those who love energy ...
Nutricost Stim-Free Pre-Workout
Supplements
No bullshit honestly. There are very few supplements that actually help you that you do not get from eating your food every day. Most supplements you just get naturally through a balanced diet.
The best thing is that it is unflavored, not super grainly, and mixes well. I usually buy this in bulk and never had a issue with it. Creatine is the one of the few supplements that has been proven by the FDA to actually help muscles contract and fle...
Creatine Monohydrate Powder
Now BCAAs honestly have helped me alot especially when I'm injured or super sore. I have saw a difference over the years with less fatigue, and soreness in my life. I love mixing my BCAAs and Creatine together to save time.(pro tip)
XTEND Sport BCAA
No one has a perfect diet no matter how much we all preach it, and do our best to follow one. SO TAKE YOUR MULTIVITAMIN. It is not for the current you, but for the you 5 to 10 years down the road. Honor your goals by taking care of your current self.

The main items I feel like everyone needs at not just the beginning of their fitness journey, but every step of the way!
I bought an Element belt a little over two years ago now, and I honestly love it even now. I mainly use it during compound lifts. (for those that are new and do not know its excerises such as Barbell Squats, Deadlifts, and Bench Press.) The main reas...
Self-Locking Weight Lifting Belt
I am honestly a lover of Belts that are easy to lock, so that I can easily stay in the zone during my workout. Honestly if you are feeling shitty or annoyed, chances are your workout will still be great because you workouted that day (proud of you), ...
Gymreapers Quick Locking Weightlifting Belt
When I am trying to do weighted dips, or go extremely heavy leather belts gives you even more support than Nylon belts. They are usually bigger than nylon and cover more surface area of your body. which means more support in the end, but the con is t...
Bear Grips Leather Weight Belt
Another leather belt I loved was my leather gym reaper belt due to the fact it gave great support, and not going to lie loved how it looked. I gave it to a friend who needed one sadly. Jacob if you are seeing this I want my belt back lol.
Gymreapers Weight Lifting Belt
I usually use straps on back day only due to the fact that your grip will give out. It does not matter when or how but it will at some point during your workout it will. This helps you target your areas that you are actually trying to hit. remember t...
Harbinger Padded Cotton Lifting Straps
Do not get any workout gloves that do not have leather on the palm side please. I have went through so many gloves that were not leather based and they always ripped after a few months. I have had this pair for over a year now, and I still love them.
Power Gloves 3.0
A quality Blender bottle is always needed when mixing your supplements, or even just to have water in when you work out. I have had this one for over a year now and no deformation, mold issue, or just obvious wear and tear. I have bought probably 40 ...
