Training Accessories: Everything You Need for Optimal Training

Whether training at home or in the gym, accessories have become increasingly popular and important during workout sessions as they are capable of supporting muscles and maximizing comfort.

In this category, you can find many different tools with equally diverse origins: some, for example, date back to ancient Egypt, like jumping ropes; others are more recent, such as gymnastics grips, invented in the 1920s for gymnasts.

What are they for?

Accessories were created to make training more comfortable, effective, and safe.

Some help to protect the joints of the wrists, knees, and elbows during efforts, allowing to strengthen muscles safely.
Others ensure a firm grip during exercises, preventing equipment from slipping from sweaty hands and causing harm to the athlete or others.
They also allow for quick recovery from injuries and getting back to training as soon as possible.

Many accessories are used to improve performance and allow those who train to give their best during sessions, achieving set goals more quickly.
Furthermore, an element not to be underestimated is comfort. Training comfortably helps to perform better and feel good during exercise execution, which certainly boosts motivation, besides having a positive impact on performance.

What types of Xenios accessories are there?

There is a multitude of accessories, and each has its own characteristics aimed at specific goals. It is advisable to choose the tools that best suit one's training and to seek advice from a personal trainer who knows the preparation level.

Belts

Gym belts are used to increase core stability and thus assist during the execution of squats and deadlifts. Contrary to what many think, training belts are not used to protect the back; indeed, to avoid injuries and keep the spine safe, it is essential to learn how to perform exercises correctly.
It's important to remember that a weightlifting belt should not be used for exercises like barbell curls or bench press, where it can even lead to incorrect movement execution.

Among the choices offered by Xenios USA, you will find different versions of belts, including those for powerlifting and weightlifting. Additionally, there are Ankle-Wrist Cuffs, straps for attaching wrists and ankles to machines; you will also find the Dipping Belt with a chain to which you can attach weights to make your workout even more challenging.

Knee pads and elbow pads

Gym knee pads and elbow pads are essential for protecting and supporting joints during workouts. They are very useful in the discipline of weightlifting, bodybuilding, and many other sports.
Thanks to them, you can lift increasingly heavier weights without endangering your joints.

You can choose from knee pads of 5, 7, or 8 mm; you will also find the 5 mm elbow pad and the Climber Guard, which will help protect your shins and ankles during your rope climbing workouts.

Hand grips and gloves

Hand grips and gloves are designed to maintain a firm grip on barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and other equipment. Using them, you'll prevent the equipment from slipping from your hands and also help to prevent calluses and blisters: perfect for a firm grip in case of sweat, they are often also used in artistic gymnastics for parallel bars, rings, and the bar.

Hand grips vary according to the needs they are meant to meet. For example, the High Grip model will allow you to perform pull-ups or train on rings safely and securely.

Wraps

Wrist wraps are the ideal tool to protect the wrist joint and help forearm muscles work more efficiently. They are especially recommended for weightlifting with heavy loads.

In the wraps section, you will find Deadlift Wraps, Velcro Wrist Wraps, and Twist Wrist Wraps. The latter are made with ripstop fabric used for manufacturing American military equipment.

Jump Ropes

The rope is an ideal tool for warming up before a session. The benefits are numerous: increase respiratory and cardiovascular capacity, burn many calories in a short time, improve coordination, and contribute to body recomposition by reducing fat mass and increasing lean mass.

Among the various options that Xenios USA offers, you will find various models of professional training ropes and jump ropes for children.

Water Bottles

Sports water bottles are an essential tool to stay hydrated and thus perform at your athletic best.

At Xenios USA, you will find Sport Bottles in various models and colors. Thanks to the magnetic gym bracelets Mag Butler, you can attach your water bottle to gym equipment and always have it within reach.

How to use training accessories?

Training accessories come in various types, as they are meant to support very different exercises and movements. For example, for weightlifting with heavy loads, it is recommended to use the training belt, gym wrist wraps, and magnesium.

However, if you are training on a flat bench, the belt should be avoided. To perform barbell bench press exercises, you can use gloves to get a firm grip and comfortably remove the equipment from the gym rack: this way you can focus solely on performing the exercise.

In workouts with kettlebells, gloves or hand guards can be used to achieve better grip. To strengthen cardiovascular and respiratory abilities, the jump rope is definitely a great tool, as it does not take up much space and allows you to burn many calories in a short time.

Wraps may be useful for preserving wrist joints during workouts for the shoulders such as the Military Press or Upright Rows, but also stretching. Likewise, elastic bands will help you warm up your muscles appropriately before training.
