Many people ask what you should have in your gym bag, to make it simple I have made a list of those things I think are necessary to have in YOUR gym bag.
Lifting Gloves
Don`t forget shoes.
Water bottle (with protein powder -optional)
Really it is not that much, you have to bring. Although you can bring lifting straps and much more, I think those listed are the essentials. Just remember to fuel up before a work out and start hydrating at least 2 hours before your start heading for the gym.Bring a watch so you can time your sets.
