You don’t need a drawer full of lifting gear to get stronger — but a few smart accessories can take your training (and safety) to the next level.
Here are 4 underrated gym accessories that instantly improve performance, boost confidence, and help you train harder without wrecking your joints.
🌀 1. Figure 8 Lifting Straps
These aren’t your average lifting straps. Figure 8 straps are built for serious pulling — heavy deadlifts, shrugs, rack pulls, or rows — and lock your grip in tight.
Why they work:
- Eliminate grip fatigue so you can train your posterior chain harder
- Safer and more secure than traditional straps
- Great for hypertrophy and top-end strength work
🖐 2. Chalk (Liquid or Block)
Sweaty hands? Slipping off the bar? Chalk fixes that in seconds. Whether you’re lifting heavy, swinging kettlebells, or doing CrossFit, chalk improves grip and keeps you focused on the rep — not the slip.
Options:
- Knuckledust Liquid Chalk – clean, portable, and mess-free.
- Standard Chalk Block – the classic go-to for barbell work.
Pro tip: Use liquid chalk in commercial gyms or when competing in Hyrox events — it dries fast and doesn’t get everywhere.
💪 3. Wrist Wraps
If your wrists hurt on bench, overhead press, or even front squats — it’s not just you. Wrists are a weak point for many lifters, and Club Bunker Wrist Wraps offer simple, effective support.
Benefits:
- Reduces strain on joints during pressing movements
- Improves stability and alignment
- Useful for CrossFit, strength training, and bodybuilding

🦵 4. Ankle Straps for Cables
You’ve seen them. You’ve probably avoided them. But ankle straps unlock serious isolation work for glutes, hamstrings, hip flexors, and adductors — especially if you’re chasing physique goals or functional balance.
Perfect for rehab, hypertrophy, or adding variety to your lower body days.
