Perantlb Poly Battle Rope with Sleeve

From Amazon

Wear-Resistant Protective Sleeve, Non-Slip Handle, Anchor Kit

Battle ropes are great for metabolic conditioning, but don't overlook their pumptastic, muscle-building benefits. Chest, back, shoulders, arms, abs... this is one piece of kit everyone needs in their garage gym.

ZELUS Weighted Vest

ZELUS Weighted Vest

From Amazon

Up to 30 Pounds, Breathable, Mesh Pocket in Back

Weighted vests don't have to be bulky. This one is form fitting and uses evenly distributed iron pellets, not sand or clunky plates.

Heavy Grips Hand Grippers

Heavy Grips Hand Grippers

From Amazon

100 to 350 Pounds Available, Aluminum Knurled Handles

This is NOT the gripper you had in high school. In fact, the "weakest" model provides two or three times the resistance of an average store-bought gripper. You won't outgrow these bad boys. Bring on the calluses!
