💪🏽 Mental & Physical 🧠 BUILD YOUR BEST LIFE
The Gear and supplements listed below are chosen for one reason: they improve training quality, recovery, and long-term results.
Plus, they don’t break the bank.
Items like lifting straps and belts help manage fatigue and joint stress, allowing for better mechanical loading. Proper lifting shoes are vital for both range of motion and alignment/spinal health. The supplements support performance, hormone balance, and recovery based on current research — not trends.
I recommend starting with the ones most relevant to your goals and training level.
These products are chosen based on real outcomes — improved training, recovery, and client results.
