One a Day Recap

Hybrid Athletics 360 Barbell Brush – Steel Bristles: Bare steel barbells are not the #1 option for most home gym owners because maintenance needs to be performed on them regularly. If not maintained properly, they will rust pretty quickly, especially in humid climates. Even with cost in mind, only 13% of GGE followers say this would be the number 1 choice for them. However, this barbell brush makes maintenance easier and more convenient. With steel bristles and a flexible wrap-around grip, this would be a solid addition for anyone with a bare steel barbell they want to maintain. Or, it may remove the hesitancy one may have about purchasing a bare steel bar. It’s easy to use, very effective, won’t break the bank.

The Chalk Pot is a portable home for your chalk, and it’s one of those items you don’t know that you want/need until you use it. This mechanism makes it easier to use chalk during your workout but also store. It’s a winner for home gyms. It is inexpensive, improves organization, cuts down on mess, and stays out of the way. The price puts it in the perfect ‘gift’ category. It’s the type of item that can be appreciated by anyone who uses chalk, but it’s probably not on the top of the list of things to buy.

ESC Wireless Earbuds: These are an excellent option for anyone looking for wireless earbuds to work out in and potentially use outside of the gym. These wireless earbuds stay secure, sweat-proof, convenient, have a strong battery life, are comfortable, and play clear music. You may even find yourself forgetting that you’re wearing them, which is especially beneficial. There may be some cheaper knock-offs on Amazon, but these are much cheaper than some of the other well-known brands (Beats & Apple).

REP 3 in 1 Soft Plyo Box: This is the best plyo box option for most home gym owners. It is a combination of wood and a dense foam pad outside for comfort. It feels very similar to using a wooden box. . This box is stable, has a grippy texture, is much easier on the joints than wooden boxes, will add a ton of versatility to your home gym, and is priced appropriately.

77% Choose Leaf Blower over Vacuum

Over 3 out of 4 (that voted for one of these items) chose the leaf blower over the vacuum in a head-to-head battle on Instagram. While both may be necessary, the leaf blower is more efficient in quickly cleaning out the garage.

One tip would be to make sure that you are getting a cordless option. This option from RYOBI is easy to operate, lightweight, not too expensive, has enough power to get the job done, and you can even use it to blow leaves (who would have thought). Much of the convenience is taken away if you need to find an extension cord each time.
