Premium materials, classic fit, 100% cotton terry, elastic cuffs, flatlocked seams. Made in Canada.
Not gonna lie, these are some pricey sweatpants. But there's a reason Reigning Champ's motto is "Respect the details. Master simplicity." They've mastered the art of taking classic athletic apparel and giving it the premium, high-end treatment.
These suckers are literally handcrafted. They'll last forever. Every detail is accounted for, from the woven drawstring to the slanted, jersey-lined front pockets. These are your new favorite sweatpants. You just don't know it yet. – Chris Shugart

Garment-dyed french terry, midweight. YKK side zipper. Made in Canada.
Here's another upgraded classic from Reigning Champ. This detail-obsessed company has taken the venerable hoodie and reworked every aspect of it. From its rugged flatlock seams to its premium cuffs, this is not your typical athletic pullover made by some ten-year old Chinese kid. Don't let your next ex-girlfriend run off with this one. – Chris Shugart

Medical grade silicone wedding rings
If you're as devilishly handsome as I am, you know how annoying it is when you don't wear your wedding band to the gym. Hey ladies, can't a guy just work out without constantly being asked for his digits?
Yeah, okay, that doesn't happen. But wearing a wedding ring to the gym is a hassle: it's constantly clacking against the bars and it can even be dangerous if it affects your grip.
Enter QALO rings. These are high-quality silicone bands designed for lifters, outdoorsy types, and hard workers. They're comfortable, clank-free, and super affordable. I've worn one for years, and the new styles and colors available today are pretty badass. – Chris Shugart

Printed on Gildan DryBlend tee.
As Dave Tate says, it's not about how you look; it's about how your total looks. Not competing in powerlifting? Then tell the world that you're focusing on strength right now. And pizza. Available in black, gray, and red. – Chris Shugart

One size fits most, mesh trucker style, 60% cotton, 40% polyester.
There's this saying: "If you see a woman adjusting her ponytail between sets, then you know that shit is about to go down!"
Or maybe ponytails are just really annoying and always coming undone during tough workouts? I don't know, I'm a bald dude. But I once spoke to a woman (no, really) and she told me that these caps rock. They have a nifty slot in the back for ponytails and messy buns. Perfect for that 5AM gym sesh. – Chris Shugart
