Hey Hey Steemit!
When beginning to train, there are a few items that I believe are necessities to help with progress. In my opinion, these items are crucial to longevity and staying injury free as well as helping you walk in with a purpose.
In the first image, these are the items that I believe are some of the most important pieces of equipment to a powerlifter. Firstly we have a lever belt, this is so important to keep from getting a back injury when supporting or pulling heavy weight. 2nd we have wrist wraps, these protect your wrists again from supporting heavy weight. Next, we have knee wraps, again important for supporting your joints under heavy weight, these are normally only used when attempting heavy weight such as a 1RM ( 1 Rep Max). Next, we have a fitness journal. This one here is made for recording workouts but a normal note pad is just as good. In the journal, record everything you do in the gym from exercise, reps, body weight, date, how you felt during the workout and any other little things you think are worth noting. These journals become your Gym bible! This way you can record and see what needs improving as well as how you are progressing. Also, they are great for looking back through when hunting some extra motivation!
Stay Tuned for more on equipment!!
Happy Lifting & let the gainz be with you
