Strength Training Kit
The kit that handles squats, deadlifts, and everything in between without riding up or falling down.
The thinking
Why these items
Strength training is low-cardio but high-movement. You need full range of motion, fabric that doesn't slip during a deadlift, and waistbands that don't roll when you brace.

Before you start
Beginner Tips
Avoid very compressive fabrics for your lower body on heavy leg days — they can restrict blood flow. Mid-compression is enough. Invest in good footwear before expensive kit.
