Crosstraining accessories from RXpursuit

Crosstraining accessories are essential for anyone who practices this sport. Almost every athlete uses one of the accessories such as tape, sweatband, wrist wraps or resistance bands. At RXpursuit, we have created a complete line of accessories to help you get the most out of a WOD.

What are Crosstraining accessories?

Crosstraining is a versatile training method that combines strength training, athletics and gymnastics. To perform these various exercises efficiently and safely, there are several accessories that practitioners often use. Here are some common accessories:

• Wrist straps: These provide support to the wrists during heavy weight lifting or movements such as handstand push-ups.
• Knee sleeves: These provide extra support and protection to the knees, especially when performing exercises such as squats.
• Weight lifting belt: A belt used to support the lower back during heavy elevators such as a clean or snatch. Jump ropes/ speed ropes: Essential for double-unders.
• Grips: These protect the palms from blisters and tears, which may arise during exercises such as pull-ups or toes-to-bar. Lifting shoes: These have a hard, raised heel, which helps with stability and positioning during Olympic weightlifting.
• Magnesium: Used to improve grip during exercises involving the hands.
• Foam rollers and massage balls: These are used for self-myofascial release, which can help reduce muscle tension and improve mobility.
• Plyoboxes: Wooden or soft boxes used for box jumps and other plyometric exercises.

It is important to note that while these accessories can be useful, they are not strictly necessary to practice the sport. They are there to improve comfort, performance and safety. Before investing in accessories, it is advisable to talk to an experienced Crosstraining coach to determine which ones are best suited for your individual needs and goals.
