Gifts for powerlifters are sometimes hard to buy for but A7 is a great brand to choose, not only because they have multiple product lines, but they are a brand where variety is king!
Lets face it powerlifters are hard to buy for. It might seem like all we do is eat, go to the gym and then find out where our next meal is coming from (yes I put eating in there twice for a good reason). Find out the best gifts for powerlifters that they probably never knew they needed.
A7 Pioneer Prong Belt -
Pioneer belts are your crème de la crème of the powerlifting world. Not only are the belts IPF approved and American-Made but they also offer a two line “off set hole” feature. This means it is designed to allow you to tighten the belt in ½ inch increments, instead of the usual 1-inch that you would find on other belts. With the smaller increments, the belt can be worn at the correct tightness and be unbuckled and rebuckled much easier. With a lifetime guarantee these are the powerlifting belt for the powerlifter who is ready to take their training to the next level.

Pull Straps
Ok so you are probably now saying “but he/she already have all their competition equipment”
Fear not there is still plenty of other trinkets that are the perfect gift for the powerlifter who has everything. Pull Straps might just be one of them! Going for reps or going for pulls when your strength is shot? These Pull Straps feature a neoprene padded wrist strap for comfort during your lifts. We added a grip enhanced strap that wraps around the bar to help hold the bar during deadlifts or rack pulls with more comfort and security than leather or nylon traditional straps.
Price - £22.99
Crew Socks
Engineered for athletes seeking both comfort and performance. Crafted with high-quality materials, these socks feature a cushioned footbed and arch support, providing comfort during intense training sessions. The beauty of a crew sock is you have use within competition and in training and this wis a much better (and safer) sock option than taking a punt on socks as a gift in other aspects where they are a bit of a damp squib. Finally a pair of socks as a gift that will be appreciated.

Defy Joggers
These next 2 are for the gym goers who train in the warehouses, the box and the gym who has zero heating and too many gaps for the wind to get through. And come to think of it anyone who know could probably benefit form these Joggers. The lite defy joggers are just as comfortable for the gym as they are for going out. They are made with premium moisture wicking 4-way stretch material for greater range of motion. Which means you can squat, deadlift and whatever other exercises you want to do with ZERO restriction.
One tip I would recommend is if you want a tighter fit then size down vs. the size chart. You will get the same level of comfort but with a hugging tight fit.

Another idea that is perfect for the colder environments. With the one of the kind performance silicone grip on the back, it helps you stick to the bench when pressing and anchors the barbell into your back when squatting. Bar Grip is the ultimate training shirt for powerlifting, strongman and weightlifting workouts.

A lot of powerlifters complain about bars not having centre knurling or having rickety benches that you can’t get your arch on! Bar Grip solves this. With loads and loads of different designs, from the slick stealth bar grip, to more poppy colours all the way up to designs of your favourite country. Combine this with both men’s and women’s fit, tank and crop tops, there will be a design for everyone.
