THE GYM BAG CHECKLIST
Fromhttp://www.MetroflexGymTraining.com 
For anyone who goes to the gym, and takes weight training even somewhat seriously, thereseems to be one staple: the gym bag! While you will have your preferences for colors, styles,and sizes, there are a few things which should be in your bag. In order to help all of the novicesin weight training (and a few of you seasoned pros!), here is the Gym Bag Checklist:
GYM BAG CHECKLIST 
•
 
If your gym has lockers, bring a lock. It can require a key, be a combination lock, or some other lock. Even if you train at a gym without lockers (like Metroflex), keep one inyour bag just in case you have to train somewhere else which does not have a de facto"Code Of Honor" among its members!
•
 
If possible, have a gym bag which has a separate compartment for your wallet (moneyclip), keys, cell phone, etc. It happens all the time, but when a guy is in a hurry after lifting - and his keys fall to the bottom of his gym bag - it seems that all of his dirtyclothes get thrown over other people's items in the locker room in his haste. And if youare serious about training, be sure to leave the cell phone in your bag when lifting. Havesome courtesy!
•
 
A spare towel. If you lift at a gym that offers paper towels to wipe up after you are doneon a bench or seat, you can use those; but bring a towel just in case. Even if your gymhas paper towels, you can use your towel to dry your hands since most commercial gymsforbid the use of chalk (Metroflex Gym members are laughing already). Just remember to wash the towel every once in a while!
•
 
Powerlifting gear (if you use it). This includes:-
 
Chalk in a container with a lid-
 
Knee/wrist wraps-
 
Squat suit and/or squat briefs-
 
Bench shirt-
 
Baby powder to help get into your suits
 
** SPECIAL NOTE: Do not use baby powder anywhere near the gymfloor, especially a squat/deadlift platform. People can slip and getseriously injured if you are careless & forget to sweep up any powder which fell to the ground. Have your friends help you into your suits in thelocker room or anywhere away from the gym floor if possible.-
 
Other powerlifting accessories
•
 
Any special weight training devices you use. These could include:-
