[@NoFate247]

Haven't packed a gym bag in a hot minute but these are always fun

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks for taking a look!

[@fwiffo42]

Good luck! It’s always fun to get a preview of the equipment you’ll be packing at a meet.

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks Joey!

[@Mrwatson185]

Back in the basement, let’s go! Best of luck to you Brandon!

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks my man. Just hoping to hit the QT for next year 😅

[@CraigularjJoeWoodworks]

Good luck out there, I’m a big fan of powder to take out any chance of distraction

[@gregors00]

A7 shirts are sick, I want to get some more regular non sticky ones - they’re just good t shirts in general.

[@BasementBrandon]

Agreed, a bit pricey, but worthwhile.

[@TheCarterHomeGym]

Solid meet day bag. Best of luck brother 💪

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks my man!

[@bmstylee]

Brando showing us his gear for the big meet.

[@BasementBrandon]

In a singlet you show everyone your big meet.

[@carps_gym]

Nice! Good Luck Brother!

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks Coach!

[@joecowan3719]

What are you packing for your nutrition and hydration?

[@BasementBrandon]

I usually bring a few gatorades, big bottles of water, and a box of poptarts. Drink the gatorade/water through out and eat a 2 pack of poptarts between each discipline.

[@carps_gym]

Give em Hell on Sunday! 💪🏼

[@BasementBrandon]

Always!

[@Massenomics]

Good luck 🫡

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks dudes!

[@nowayjosehomegym]

Some Aleve for your old man back and a headband for the sweat?

[@BasementBrandon]

Not lifting enough to sweat :(

[@ZacharyDrebin]

Good luck Brandon, what time are you lifting on Sunday?

[@BasementBrandon]

Sorry just seeing this now, I lifted at 9am EST.

[@ZacharyDrebin]

@BasementBrandon it's ok I saw you lift great job 💪

[@carps_gym]

Big Gear Guy!

[@BasementBrandon]

Lol

[@Jthompson7775]

I thought pioneer belts were not on the approved list for the 2023-2026 seasons for USPA/USPL or IPF? I ended up going with A7 belt to have a pioneer belt please let me know if i was given wrong info

[@BasementBrandon]

The only federation Pioneer is not approved for is IPF.

[@chaoirvan-jones]

What size is your pioneer singlet?

[@BasementBrandon]

XL. I am 6'3" and 220lbs.

[@hamadbelobaida7709]

Where can I get the meet shirts ?

[@BasementBrandon]

I made a limited run of them for people who are part of Basement Barbell Club then sold the remaining through my site. They went pretty quick so maybe I'll do another run.

[@kozmo7]

Hey Brandon, you forgot the most important part.. what kinda bag is that? I’m a bag nerd and I must know

[@BasementBrandon]

Lol, this is one made by Ogio

[@kozmo7]

@@BasementBrandonThanks big dog, been trying to get my hands on a new one, my old one is trash!

[@shiropadipto701]

Hi Brandon, long time viewer. I had some questions, hope you answer. Is the pioneer medium wrist wrap similar to SBD flexible? I was thinking of SBD, but the folks at pioneer are really nice, so wanna support them. Is the pioneer medium have left and right hand wraps like SBD? Thanks.

[@BasementBrandon]

I haven't used SBD wraps in a few years so can't really give you a great answer. I will say I use the medium wraps as my go to. Not too stiff but not too flexible either, they're just right!

[@shiropadipto701]

@@BasementBrandon thank you; going for pioneer medium.

[@JasonLeeno]

Why is it always back pain lol Best of luck brother!

[@BasementBrandon]
