Fun topic!
Bands of all types: wide and short (like the booty band that Brett Contreras makes), wide and long (like the NT Loop), narrow and long (like for shoulder dislocates or external rotation drills), light resistance (like for pull aparts), and heavy resistance (like for a Spanish squat or a tool for a deep hip stretch).
Pso-rite tool: for psoas self myofascial release
Mobo tool: myofascial release for other body parts
Wrist wraps: just in case a wrist starts hurting
Liquid chalk: Only need it for a couple things
Two drinks: one made by Biotest and another thing depending on what I’m feeling
Notebook: to write workout details, or brain dump between sets
Bandana and small towel: cover my chest and face while tanning
Difference between now and the past?
My gym bag never contained bands until about 10 years ago, along with the injury related tools.
I’d love to see heel-elevated lifting shoes in my gym bag again because it’d mean I could return to doing the funnest lifts that I’m unable to do right now.
So when are you showing us your new pair of lifted lifting shoes?
I wish I knew! 
On the plus side, the reconstitution solution came this afternoon, so hopefully that means I can get those healing peptides in me asap. Thank you again for all the info you shared!
I almost never use the BFR straps, but they stay in there. I broke a tooth a long time ago, so the mouth guard status in there, but I can’t remember using it. I don’t ever use the wrist wraps either.
I use the sleeves for freaking everything and love them. I’ll probably be adding some icy hot in there before long. I used to use a 13mm belt, and I might go back to it.
The versa lifts are a relatively new addition (a year or so), but I really do like them.
I’ve always been a total sellout to wrist straps. I love them and don’t care if I’m not training grip.
I sometimes have the Fat Gripz but rarely use them. It goes in spurts.
As I train at home anything I used to have in my gym bag is around me in a set place -
chalk
resistance bands
neck harness (I’m not putting my sweaty head where where other people’s sweaty heads have been)
squat shoes
lifting belt
wrist straps (not lifting ones, don’t like them)
headphones
I also now use knee wraps for heavier squatting days which I never used to as I considered them cheating which as in getting closer to 40 I no longer do.
As an aside when I used to play rugby my kit bag when I started would be my playing kit, alcohol, toiletries and boots. Much like simo as I got older it then included copious amounts of deep heat, tiger balm, strapping, medical tape, an arm guard, protein recovery shake and medjool dates or sweets
I too am approaching the youthful age of 40, have you used sleeves? I’ve got a pair of sbd that are decently tight and never squat without them (they mute the unpleasant sounds that my knees make).
I’ve got wraps but I’ve never actually used them, just wondering if you’ve tried both, for knee support rather than adding kgs, and if you chose wraps over sleeves?
I’ve said sleeves in my head but wrote wraps for some reason. I have used wraps in the past but found them a bit more restrictive. I much prefer sleeves and also find it deadens the creaks 
The only downside is that I find it doesn’t take long before they need to go in the wash due to the amount of sweat they absorb. They now have to be washed in isolation and are not allowed to dwell in the house less she who must be obeyed sniffs them out.
Ah that makes sense, same regarding the knee sleeves smell, it’s deeply unpleasant, could double as smelling salts.
Mine stay in the garage and so don’t get washed as often as they ought to but he only person that notices is me, and my garage currently smells like old cigars, so that’s overpowering anything else.
Yer knee sleeves are gross, On days I wear them my legs smell like death afterwards and the misses will always comment when I walk in the house. Even with regular washes they dont get better,
Anyone ever find a knee sleeve solution? I have a truck so my choices are for all my kit to freeze in the bed or for the cab to stink.
I played hockey for years, and the equipment gets smelly because of bacteria. Mild detergent solutions help for things you can’t wash.
If you’re dealing with lingering odors in your carpets or upholstery, try sprinkling some baking soda over the affected areas. Let it sit for a few hours, then vacuum it up. The baking soda will help absorb any lingering smells and leave your carpets and furniture smelling fresh.
Essential oils are a great way to add a pleasant scent to your space while also combatting any lingering odors. Here are a few ways to use essential oils:

Thanks!
Belt, elbow sleeves, wrist wraps, straps, squat shoes, smelling salts. It’s been that way for as long as I can remember.
You can try soaking them in Natures Miracle, the stuff you buy for when your dog/cat pisses the floor. I use it on my BJJ gym’s loaner gis when a trial class guy stinks them up really bad.
Just soak them for an hour or so and then wash normally. Lysol laundry sanitizer also helps keep the funk from building up.
