IronMind Training Gear: Essentials for an Edge
Bags, muscle rub, lifting straps, performance wear . . . the things that can
either be the missing links or the keystones. IronMind has a tradition of bringing its vision and
proven quality to some areas of the iron game that had been long overlooked and we think that when
you take a look at these items, you’ll be glad we did. Here’s to your next PR.
Performance Wear
Our Tech Threads™ wick like a charm ...
In 2005, IronMind introduced a radical notion in the strength world: instead of just continuing to offer more T-shirts that, while admittedly head-turningly sharp, would turn into soggy duds when you worked up a sweat, we introduced the concept of performance clothing into the IronMind product line and the larger strength world. Hey, we figured, why should guys who like to run in the rain or dangle off cliffs by their fingertips be the only ones to take their wardrobes into the 21st century? You'll find IronMind's Tech Threads performance wear and other gear in our on-line store. Magic Elixir As John McCallum pointed out, running and lifting go together like ham and eggs, but one reason that lifters don’t run is because they don't know how to start, especially since they are not planning to enter the Boston Marathon, and most running clothing is just as out of touch with what lifters need. At IronMind, we have long realized the value of both of these pursuits and the magical elixir formed by their combination, so in 2005 we decided to bridge the gap: Tech-Threads™ for strength athletes. Check out the Performance Tech-Trainer T, the Silk Road Performance Shorts, the Capo dei Cap™, and the Warm Weather X-Training Socks—and especially if you have a history of chafing when you run, buy yourself some BODYGLIDE®. 
If you run in the dark, you’ll appreciate our
shining line-up of
flashlights to see where you’re going and maybe even ward off predators.
 Tough-As-Nails Bags
Whether you-re on the go to competitions, the job, the gym-wherever!-
our Tough-As-Nails™ Bags
are up to the task, making sure your goods go with you easily and efficiently.
IronMind's Quarter-Ton Trucker: it's as easy to load up as a pick-up truck and
just as indispensable. Who said utility couldn't look good?
If you read the 2007 IronMind catalog, we didn’t want you to think that you had
to go to Paris to see industrial-sized, super-strong bags at work. This is around the corner from
IronMind’s world headquarters . . . it’s a one-yard bag (as in one cubic yard) that can hold about
2,000 pounds. Your Quarter-Ton Trucker might be smaller and spiffier, but it’s from the same sort
of rugged gene pool and just as full of potential and purpose.
