Hexagonal Dumbbells
When it comes to dumbbells these are the ones I prefer. I have them ranging from 10 up to 50 lbs (I have lighter ones too but they're not this shape). They're made of rubber so they can be dropped to a certain degree.
Dumbbell rack
It's a sturdy, no frills, tiered dumbbell rack. It can hold up to 1,000 lbs and mine is filled with 10-50 lbs dumbbells. There's probably still room for 55 and 60 on the bottom. It's pretty easy to assemble.
Kettlebell pairs
These are some of the Kettlebells I have. There are some cheaper options out there, but the free shipping on these is nice and they've solid cast iron. I like to have my sets jump up in increments of 10 lbs and use Dumbbells for anything in between.
Titan Fitness T-2 Series Power Rack
This is the squat cage I have. Because of height restrictions we had to get the lower one, but I would recommend the taller one. It's pretty easy to assemble as long as you've got a torque wrench. It's incredibly sturdy and ships free, which is always a plus on big items like that.
Power wheel
If you've worked out at Alloy or my gym you've definitely seen this contraption. It's basically just an ab wheel that lets you strap your feet in. What I like about this one as opposed to the usual one is that it's bigger and wider so your shoulders are a bit more open.
Legendary Protein PopTarts
These are the protein Pop-Tarts I like, which are great for anyone looking to boost their protein intake. There are quite a few flavors available, and while they are waaaay more expensive than regular Pop-Tarts, they do pack 22g of protein for about the same amount of calories. If you really want to beef up your protein just pair one of these with a Chike protein coffee for 42g protein breakfast or snack.
David Protein bars
These are the protein bars I like. At 150 calories and 28g of protein, they offer the best bang for your buck that I've found among protein bars. There have been some controversies regarding claims that they have more fat and calories than advertised, but the lawsuit against them was withdrawn.
In terms of flavor, they're fine and definitely not worse than other protein bars I've tried.
Grab the Gold Energy/Protein bars
I've been a fan of these fitness supplements since I first discovered them a decade ago in Nashville. With just under 200 calories and 11g of protein, they may not be as high in protein as David bars, but man, do they taste a whole lot better. They're similar to a no-bake cookie but much denser. I keep some in my glove compartment in case I need a little snack, especially when I'm not in the mood for protein shakes.
Epic Chicken Sriracha bars
If you're looking for a savory protein bar (and you eat meat), then this is my go-to choice. Chicken Sriracha is the only flavor I've found to be really good, but maybe you'll enjoy the others as well.
Each bar has 100 calories and packs 11g of protein. I like to pair one of these with string cheese, making a tasty snack that clocks in at 180 calories with 19g of protein.
FitLife foods meal prep service
If you're looking for a meal prep service that delivers and has a storefront, my favorite is FitLife. They're located in Buckhead, really close to Johnny's Hideaway. Their food is delicious, with a solid nutrients and protein content, and they offer different sizes to fit various fitness goals.
Alongside their meals, they also offer nutritional coaching and have great product recommendations for fitness supplements and protein shakes. If you order something from them, use code 6WENEOK6 or tell them I sent you when you go in.
Outwork Nutrition Pre-Workout
This is the pre-workout I like. It covers all the micronutrients I want in a pre-workout, and it doesn't have a proprietary blend, meaning every ingredient and dose is listed individually, so you know exactly what you're getting.
My go-to flavor is strawberry lemonade because it's also available caffeine-free. I like to mix one scoop of the regular version with one scoop of the caffeine-free option. That way, I get the full dose of all ingredients with only 150mg of caffeine, which is still almost two cans of Red Bull.
The caffeine-free version is below.
Outwork Nutrition Caffeine Free Pre-Workout
This is the same pre-workout but it's caffeine free, making it a great option for those who are caffeine sensitive or prefer to work out in the evenings.
It's my go to pre-workout, offering everything I want in a pre-workout without the excessive energy boost. For reference, the regular version contains 300 mg of caffeine per double scoop serving, equivalent to nearly 4 cans of Red Bull.
Free standing dip bars
If you've visited my home gym, you've likely used these for pushups, dips, or possibly inverted rows. They're an excellent multi-purpose piece of equipment that is very affordable.
Personally, I recommend not using the connecting bar so you can lay them down for pushups and use them individually.
Resistance bands
These are the resistance bands I use in my gym. They're great quality and very reasonably priced. I generally recommend ordering two packs so you can do double arm exercises with them or mix and match.
Handles for resistance bands
These handles are cheap, sturdy, and make the resistance bands a whole lot easier to use.
Carabiners for resistance bands
These are great for attaching handles to to the resistance bands. They're nice and big, so easy to use.
Swiss Ball
There are a ton of different options, and they're all probably fine. This is just the one I use. I have the 55 cm one and that's generally good for most people.
