Rehband's 7mm neoprene sleeves give firm compression and warmth around the knee for heavy squats. This is the classic V-seam 7051 model, sold as a pair.
Captains of Crush grippers are graded by strength, and No. 1 is where they start to get hard to close. Most people who lift can't close it straight away, so it's a good grip challenge to keep by the desk.
Friction Labs chalk is high-purity magnesium carbonate made in Colorado. Unicorn Dust is the fine texture, which spreads easily over the palms before deadlifts and pull-ups.
SBD is a British powerlifting brand, and these wraps are made in Great Britain and approved by the IPF. The flexible version supports the wrist on presses while still letting it bend.
Lifting straps let them hold heavy deadlifts and rows after their grip gives out. These have 18-inch cotton straps with neoprene padding at the wrist.
Turn the dial and the SelectTech changes from 2kg to 24kg in 15 steps, so it replaces a rack of fixed dumbbells. It's a premium gift for someone training at home, but check whether they need one or a pair.
An entry-level percussive massage gun for sore muscles. It has a quiet motor and a simple speed control.
True wireless open-ear earbuds that hook over the ear and sit outside the ear canal.
