But what&#8217;s inside them? This article details the 11 most useful items that come in handy when at CrossFit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. The Bag <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds simple, but <strong>a bag<\/strong> is a good place to start. These 45L backpacks come in a huge array of sizes and colours, suitable for men and women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 main compartments see huge amounts of space for everything. And then some. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find exterior straps which are useful for foam rollers, lifting belts and airing knee sleeves.  The main compartment opens out 180 degrees for huge access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A very common sight to see these in CrossFit gyms. Make sure you<strong> don&#8217;t get ripped off<\/strong> by the companies that import and mark them up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3f6ObIs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">These ones<\/a> on Amazon are very similar, and half just the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With 9 colours to choose from, there&#8217;s plenty of choice. Plus, you get to customise with your patches<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:38% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"924\" height=\"924\" src=\"https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0A06CF0A-93CC-47C3-88DC-9E8C8351A2C6-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"CrossFit Bags\" class=\"wp-image-2252 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0A06CF0A-93CC-47C3-88DC-9E8C8351A2C6.jpeg 924w, https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0A06CF0A-93CC-47C3-88DC-9E8C8351A2C6-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0A06CF0A-93CC-47C3-88DC-9E8C8351A2C6-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0A06CF0A-93CC-47C3-88DC-9E8C8351A2C6-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3f6ObIs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CHECK PRICE HERE ON AMAZON<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Wrist Wraps <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CrossFit is full of wrist-based action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exercises like these demand a significant load on our wrists:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Handstands<\/li><li>Snatch<\/li><li>Jerk<\/li><li>Front Squats. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All this can be fairly burdensome, especially if they&#8217;re weak from say injury or mobility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What they do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrist wraps provide just a little extra support for when you need them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to draw for them every time &#8211; they&#8217;re good to have in your bag, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Gym Hack: <\/strong>when you wash them, apply the velcro together. This stops it getting stuck to your clothing and causing. <em>Delicate female pants and heavy-duty Velco does not mix.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Voodoo Band<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-20-at-20.13.41-959x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2258\" width=\"199\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-20-at-20.13.41.png 924w, https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-20-at-20.13.41-281x300.png 281w, https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-20-at-20.13.41-768x820.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><figcaption><em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3fs40Ka\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Voodoo \/ floss \/ mobility band<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>What on earth is that, you ask! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s medium density, highly stretchy elastic band. They&#8217;re also known as a mobility or floss bands, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The voodoo band can be extremely helpful in a couple of different ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Reduces swelling and <a href=\"https:\/\/journal.crossfit.com\/article\/muscle-damage-soreness-overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DOMS<\/a><\/li><li>Use as a resistance band for stretching \/ mobility <\/li><li>Increasing blood flow<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How it works <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They work by purposefully restricting blood flow for a set period of time. This is then manually released by undoing the band, flooding blood to the sore area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fresh blood flushes away toxins and reduces soreness. They work best on legs and arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Gym Hack: <\/strong>I keep mine inside a weightlifting shoe so it&#8217;s always in my bag. It&#8217;s stowed inside the shoe so taking up no additional space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can grab a voodoo band <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3fs40Ka\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> from Amazon. Cheap and cheerful &#8211; no need to go mad with the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here is a useful video that will help you get started with using one.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to use VooDoo Floss Bands | Mobility WOD style | Feat.

Weightlifting Shoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are great to help you find more stability in your Olympic Weightlifting movements such as Snatch or Clean and Jerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re also useful for auxiliary or hybrid movements of the classic Olympic lifts, such as Thrusters. Some people swear by them when doing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossfit.com\/essentials\/pistol-variations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pistols<\/a> too (one legged squats).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oly shoes are not essential but they are great for squeaking out just that little bit more from the lifts. Or getting that little bit more ankle stability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/20-crossfit-tips-for-beginners-intermediate-hardcore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article here<\/a> breaks down Oly shoes further for you. <strong>Check items 5 and 6.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Gymnastic Wraps <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gymnastic wraps are great to protect your hands and provide additional grip, particularly when fatigued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many on the market and I\u2019ve been through a few.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/11-best-tips-products-for-crossfit-hand-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"This article\">This article<\/a> details the best out there so you don\u2019t have to go through many like I did. <strong>Check item 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking after your hands is key. They go through a lot, so wraps are invaluable. The article above will help you with all of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Thumb Tape <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thumb tape is for\u2026you guessed it, thumbs. (Actually, you can use on your fingers too, if required). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They wrap around the thumb at the base &#8211; the part that articulated from the hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It offers protection from knurling on the equipment. Useful when high reps of Dumbbell work and Barbell cycling, for instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid the cheap tape. It doesn\u2019t stick well and you\u2019ll get annoyed when it comes off mid-workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This stuff is tried and tested.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:40% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3UZmwdh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"809\" src=\"https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-21.36.13-1024x809.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2270 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-21.36.13-1024x809.png 1024w, https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-21.36.13-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-21.36.13-768x607.png 768w, https:\/\/bestgymhacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-21.36.13.png 1169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3UZmwdh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CHECK PRICE ON AMAZON HERE <\/a><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

Water Bottle <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This sounds stupid but not taking a water bottle with you is not a good thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing worse having sweated 0.5-1 litre in a session and not having the H20 on hand to replace that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A study shows we sweat approximately less than 1% amount in 1 hour of CrossFit. When measured out into understandable metrics, thats approximately 1ml = 1g. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>&#8230;during a regular CrossFit workout, sweat rates&nbsp;<strong>for men are 1.663 \u00b1 0.478 L\/h and for women 0.886 \u00b1 0.274 L\/h<\/strong>, which is less than 1% of total body weight for both male and female participants<\/em><\/p><cite><em><a href=\"http:\/\/article.sapub.org\/10.5923.j.sports.20211102.01.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scientific and Academic Publishing<\/a><\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does that mean?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you weigh 70kg, you may sweat up to 1% which equates to 0.7kg = 700g, which is 700ml. That is almost 1 litre, so a fair amount of lost hydration there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pack a reusable water bottle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if it\u2019s empty it could be topped up as most CrossFit gyms have a fountain, water refill facility or even a tap with drinking water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.  Skipping Rope<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most gyms have these hanging up. Granted, it\u2019s usually a hodge podge of battered wire, cord and nylon ropes. Some of which was lost property. And many moons ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting your own rope is inexpensive. Having your own means you can adjust the size for your own height&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;.That means learning the holy grail of Double Unders will be fare more obtainable. What&#8217;s not to like about that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get yourself a skipping rope.

Hand Care Items<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of items out there which will help care for your hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve already mentioned gymnastic wraps.
