Wear this one when motivation wanes. It'll remind you that dedication always beats motivation. Besides, the motivation will kick in after a set or two.

One size fits most, mesh trucker style, 60% cotton, 40% polyester.

There's this saying: "If you see a woman adjusting her ponytail between sets, then you know that shit is about to go down!" Or maybe ponytails are just really annoying and always coming undone during tough workouts? I don't know, I'm a bald dude. But I once spoke to a woman (no, really) and she told me that these caps rock. They have a nifty slot in the back for ponytails and messy buns. Perfect for that 5AM gym sesh.

Printed on Gildan DryBlend tee.

As Dave Tate says, it's not about how you look; it's about how your total looks. Not competing in powerlifting? Then tell the world that you're focusing on strength right now. And pizza. Available in black, gray, and red.

Medical grade silicone wedding rings

If you're as devilishly handsome as I am, you know how annoying it is when you don't wear your wedding band to the gym. Hey ladies, can't a guy just work out without constantly being asked for his digits? Yeah, okay, that doesn't happen. But wearing a wedding ring to the gym is a hassle: it's constantly clacking against the bars and it can even be dangerous if it affects your grip. Enter QALO rings. These are high-quality silicone bands designed for lifters, outdoorsy types, and hard workers. They're comfortable, clank-free, and super affordable. I've worn one for years, and the new styles and colors available today are pretty badass.

Here's another upgraded classic from Reigning Champ. This detail-obsessed company has taken the venerable hoodie and reworked every aspect of it. From its rugged flatlock seams to its premium cuffs, this is not your typical athletic pullover made by some ten-year old Chinese kid. Don't let your next ex-girlfriend run off with this one.

Not gonna lie, these are some pricey sweatpants. But there's a reason Reigning Champ's motto is "Respect the details. Master simplicity." They've mastered the art of taking classic athletic apparel and giving it the premium, high-end treatment. These suckers are literally handcrafted. They'll last forever. Every detail is accounted for, from the woven drawstring to the slanted, jersey-lined front pockets. These are your new favorite sweatpants. You just don't know it yet.

Lightweight, breathable, and flexible. Seamless, one-piece construction upper, abrasion resistant.

A few years ago I became very frustrated while shopping for some all-around training shoes. They were all either very specialized or designed for 12 year olds with bad taste. Then I discovered NOBULL, a company that makes "no-gimmicks" shoes and apparel for hard-training grown-ups.

This cross trainer does it all, from lifting to running to sled pushing. I have three pair and wear them for everything. The NOBULL Trainer is available in a multitude of colors and patterns, but I love their basic solids. Don't worry, you can still get them in purple camo if you're into that. – Chris Shugart
