Strength Training Accessories for Fitness | Powerlifting | Bodybuilding | Strongman

Good strength training accessories don’t make you “strong” on their own, but they do allow you to train stronger without your body taking unnecessary damage. In this collection, you’ll find the most important fitness accessories for serious strength sports: from powerlifting and bodybuilding to strongman and heavy gym training. Think of gear that improves your grip, keeps your joints warm, and stabilizes your body when the weight really gets heavy.

Many lifters face the same issue: your back can still handle it, your legs can still handle it, but your grip gives out. Or your wrists buckle during presses. Or your knees feel unstable during heavy squats. That’s exactly where strength training accessories make a difference. Not to replace technique, but to keep your technique tight when the load is high. This way, you can train more consistently, perform more quality reps, and progress faster.

In this collection, you’ll find among others:

  • Lifting Straps / Lifting Grips for maximum grip during deadlifts, rows, pull-ups, and RDLs
  • Wrist Wraps for wrist support and stability during bench presses, overhead presses, and dips
  • Lifting Belts 10mm for strong bracing and extra core stability during heavy compound lifts
  • Knee Sleeves 7mm for warmth, compression, and confidence on leg day
  • Ankle Straps for cable exercises targeting glutes, legs, and shoulders

Whether you’re training for a higher total, more muscle mass, or simply to get stronger in the gym: with the right strength training accessories, you get more out of every set without unnecessary risks.

What strength training accessories do I need for the gym/fitness, powerlifting, bodybuilding, and strongman?

The right strength training accessories help you train more safely, lift heavier, and stay consistent, whether you do gym/fitness, powerlifting, bodybuilding, or strongman. These are the essentials to choose

  • Lifting Straps: improve your grip during pulling movements (deadlifts, rows, pulls), so your target muscles do the work. Thor Athletics is known for the best Lifting Straps on the market in the Netherlands & Europe.
  • Wrist Wraps: keep your wrist straight and stable during bench and overhead presses. Available in Flexible and Extra Strong materials.
  • Knee Sleeves 7mm: provide warmth and compression for added confidence in deep knee bends during heavy sets.
  • Lifting Belt 10mm: powerlifting belt for extra core stability during heavy squats and deadlifts; helps you lift with solid, controlled technique.

What strength-training accessories do you need for fitness, powerlifting, bodybuilding, and strongman?

The best strength-training accessories for fitness, powerlifting, bodybuilding, and strongman are lifting straps or grips (grip), wrist wraps (wrist stability), a lifting belt (bracing/core support), and knee sleeves (knee compression) for heavier and safer training.

When should you use fitness accessories during strength training?

You use fitness accessories during strength training when grip, wrists, knees, or core become the limiting factor during heavy sets, high volumes, or PR attempts, so your technique stays solid and you can keep making progress.

Do strength training accessories really help you lift more weight and perform better?

Yes, strength training accessories help improve performance by providing support and stability for weak links (grip, wrists, knees, bracing), giving you more control, helping you train more consistently, and often allowing you to handle more reps or weight.
