How many of you carry around a giant jug of water and back pack around the whole gym

[nomercy]

I understand the water with preworkout in it but backpack.

[Beti ona]

I never saw anyone with a backpack except some martial arts guys, but not for lifting. I only had the belt and gloves, the water bottle and the training notebook, but I have read many people who carry many gadgets and then need a backpack to walk through the gym.

I use a 1 liter water bottle, small headphones w/ cell phone in my pocket and some lifting straps for back work.

I don't ever haul a back pack or film myself training.
LOL, I'm there to train , not camp out in the gym . I feel it best to spare people from seeing a video of my chunky old body .

Your packed workout gear actually makes sense.
Trust me , I tried to find fault just to be an obnoxious dickhead....but was unable to, based on your sensible list

I never brought anything on the gym floor with me until joining LA Fitness about 2 years ago. If I don't take a bag on the floor with me with my straps and other workout odds and ends, then I don't have anything to leave next to the machine or bench I am using. Without that, you get up to put a pair of dumbbells away or grab a drink at the water fountain and people take your spot. I had a few confrontations before I just said fuck it and started bringing the damn thing no water jug for me though

[Big Beat]

Just have a regular water bottle, dont do the giant jug. I leave the water bottle on benches and machines to mark I'm using them, sad reality of of modern chain gyms.

I use track bottoms with zip pockets for keys and wallet.

I never had headphones ever but started using them as doing more cardio in the gym.

I don’t lift heavy enough anymore to need a belt, wraps, straps etc

I drink a lot of water all day, but I don't need more than 700 ml while training, carrying a jug sounds too much.

[Bestia]

It is once in a blue moon that I get a drink of water at the gym. Years ago I used to get a drink at the fountain between sets all the time. Now I think it is because I drink a bottle of water mixed with pre workout on the drive to the gym

[bigmikecox]

NO!!!! I just have a bag with my chalk, headphones, belt and wrist straps.

I CRINGE when I see the dudes and girls carrying a gallon jug at shows or Expos.

[SISTEROFJESUS]

Hehe
Plenty people with giant bags in the gym. Not needed. I originally bought mini backpack for cycling, but never gets in the way.

Sometimes, I replaces elbow sleeves with knee sleeves. Cobra grips are so much easier than traditional straps.

Cobra grips. Amazingly they work. Mega easy.
Other cheaper brands do the same.

Funny I use these too. In my mind, these ARE the cheaper brand option - when compared to the original Versa Gripps

I have had my cobra grips for easily 6 years and they still do the job every time

They smell like a hairy slut though. Bad

[Griff11]

I like cheapo straps
