Best Weightlifting Apps

Whether you’ve never picked up a barbell before or you’re looking to take your #gains to the next level, the smartest thing to do is invest in your future NOW. With the holidays around the corner and that inevitable “New Year, New You” wave about to hit, there’s never been a better time to take weightlifting seriously.

Luckily, you can crush your workouts and make progress without committing your time, energy, or effort on an expensive personal trainer or gym membership. Instead, you can take advantage of technology and utilize a top weightlifting app like Future, Hevy, or any of the 10 that made the cut for GGR.

Let certified personal trainer and all-things-fitness expert Lindsay Scheele guide you through the ins and outs of the app world in one of her latest videos on the official GGR Everything YouTube channel.

Gymreapers Lever Belt Review

Ask any lifter worth their salt for a list of their essential accessories and you’ll certainly hear one item mentioned over and over again: a weightlifting belt.

Designed to safeguard your back and core during heavy squats, deadlifts, and other compound exercises, lever-style belts like this one from Gymreapers offer both protection and peace of mind.

To determine whether this well-priced belt is worth putting around your waist, GGR tasked USAW-L2 coach Jacob Penner with taking it through our thorough equipment testing process. How did this Gymreapers product fare after 20 squat and deadlift workouts?

You’ll have to read Staff Writer Matt Dustin’s in-depth review to find out.
