The Essentials
Unless you have the luxury of training at your own gym these are certain things you might find useful to bring with you to train.
1. A bag to carry all of your stuff in. Self explanatory. Never forget anything again.
2. A belt. Single prong, double prong, a lever, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that the belt is used properly. It provides protection for your lower back during squats and pulls, it also strengthens the core and allows for greater lifts.
3. Wrist wraps. Provides support for heavy presses. Once again like the belt, if used properly the benefits are plenty.
4. Chalk. Grip strength a problem? Not anymore. Of course chalk should only be used when it is absolutely essential.
5. Am I missing anything? What do you bring to the gym every day?

More About Me
Running Smolov Squat and Smolov Jr. for Bench.
Training maxes:
Squat 415
Bench 320
BW: 183
Due to benching and squatting 4x a week assistance exercises are pretty limited. First time running the two together so this is going to be a bit of an experiment. Have extremely weak pulls due to lack of back and grip strength, I try to address those problems as often as possible.
Goals before summer:
Squat 500+
Bench 350+
With belt and wrist wraps only.
Diet: pretty basic, chicken, salmon, tuna fish, multi grain pasta, sweet potatoes and miscellaneous greens. 2-3 meals a day of that a 1-2 shakes a day.
Supplements: ON Creatine, ON Fish Oil, ON Opti-Men, Glucosamine.
Preworkout: Hemo Rage Black UC (free sample) or Jack3d.
Workout times and mealtimes are going to be somewhat random and inconsistent as I am currently finishing up college.
I am always welcome to suggestions of course. Constructive criticism is welcome as I am new to power lifting.
