An Olympian’s Guide to Weightlifting Equipment

Watching the Olympic games and feeling inspired? Maybe you’re looking to get into Olympic weightlifting but aren’t sure where to start. Although Olympic barbells can look similar, there are a lot of particulars that can make it a daunting task to decide which one is best for your Olympic weightlifting home gym. Even after deciding, you have to figure out what other equipment for Olympic weightlifting you should have.

We’re here to make your job simpler. GGR Senior Staff Writer Caine Wilkes, OLY, USAW-L1, has competed in Olympic-style weightlifting for over 20 years and coached it for 15 of those years. He started from local competitions and worked his way up to representing Team USA at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. With that sort of experience, he knows a thing (or two) about weightlifting equipment.

Caine can tell you what works and what doesn’t, and what you need and what you can skip. He also talked to Ty Snipes, a USA Weightlifting Level 2 coach and weightlifting equipment aficionado, to break down the essentials for an Olympic weightlifting gym, as well as the many brands of the sport.

The Best Adjustable Kettlebells

We have a fever, and the only prescription is more kettlebell. But, unfortunately, it won’t take long until those kettlebells start crowding your home gym. The solution: adjustable kettlebells. Not only do they help you save space and money, but since kettlebell training combines strength training and cardio, you’ll also spend less time working out, too. It’s a win-win.

Our guide to the best adjustable kettlebells has a little something for everyone, from those who compete in Kettlebell Sport (yes, that’s a thing) to those who need something that can fit under a bed or in a suitcase. We have our personal favorites, but know they might not be right for everybody and that’s why there are plenty of options to choose from.

The Benefits of Good Posture

Stand tall. Sit up straight. Hold your head high. These common phrases center around one of the most overlooked—but important— pillars of fitness: good posture.

How you sit (or stand) says a lot about your self-confidence and self-esteem. Walk into a meeting with your body and brain properly aligned, and you’ll instantly make your presence known. On the other hand, let your boss see you slouching in your desk chair, and you’ll surely have more problems than lower back pain, tension headaches, and weak core muscles.

Why does this all matter? From protecting your ligaments to increasing your lung capacity to improving your muscle strength, there are several reasons to reap the benefits of good posture. Plus, posture plays a pivotal role in staying safe while lifting weights and completing your exercise routine. We’ll break down posture benefits and give you practical tips to ensure you’re taking care of a critical component of your health and well-being.
