Workout Gloves: In my experience, a good-quality pair can really help if you’re moving heavier weight. They improve your grip and reduce hand pain, which can otherwise hold you back from lifting heavier.
My pick: ETHOS Maxus+
Lifting Straps: Another useful tool, in my opinion. When used correctly, straps can help you hold onto the weight longer and increase how much you’re able to lift.
My pick: Any basic lifting straps
Gym Seat Belt: I use a seat belt on certain machines to keep myself planted and stable. Staying firm in the seat helps me control the movement better and can also help me handle more weight safely.
My pick: Nordic Hamstring Curl Strap
MAG Style Grips: I prefer these over the standard handles you usually see in gyms. They feel more comfortable, and I can pull serious weight with them without needing straps. I like the close neutral-grip version the most, mainly because it’s easy to carry and works on a lot of movements.
My pick: Any (close neutral-grip)
Air Fryer: Probably my most-used appliance. It makes it easy to cook steaks or salmon on a whim without much mess or effort.
My pick: Front-loading air fryer
Rice Cooker: I eat rice with a lot of my meals, so for me this one’s a must-have.
My pick: Small rice cooker
Meat Thermometer: Another tool I use a lot—it helps make sure your food is cooked perfectly to your preference every time.
My pick: Wireless meat thermometer with a mobile app
Egg Cooker: Another great tool that makes it quick and easy to cook hard-boiled eggs exactly how you like them every time.
My pick: Any
