Cool idea.

Unfortunately I can't enter because I don't use a gym bag! This is because of my training venues:

1. My mum's house where I have a home gym setup. Here I do all of my max effort work and heavy lifting that isn't as "commercial gym friendly". My belt, wraps, chalk etc. all live in the gym, so all I need to transport there is myself!

2. A reasonably fluffy commercial gym full of female bodybuilders, located literally 50 metres from my house. Here I do all of my speed and accessory work and use pieces of equipment other than a barbell and power rack (all I have at mum's). No need to take a belt or any equipment in a bag, so I simply carry around water bottle and towel with me.

Naturally I'll be doing the meet at the home gym! Wink

James, that was interesting in its own right! Let's put up a "My gym" photo contest as soon as this one ends. Meanwhile, I'm really looking forward to catching a glimpse of your home gym through the meet videos.

Also, applause for Måns and Mike for setting the contest off to a good start! I'll post my bag in late August when I return to slugging it around; am currently sharing James's "dilemma" due to training at my own summer cottage gym.

Any other takers? Remember, those are REAL shirts you can win.  Wink

Mike Warner, welcome to the forum! Had a good laugh from the underwear episode, thanks for sharing. Am also proud to announce that - in the capacity of the only participating member in the contest who has not yet received a free shirt - that you are currently standing a 200% chance of winning!  Grin

I have that book myself, awesome drawings...
Did you know that the author/artist of that book (DeLavier) is actually a powerlifter himself? Or at least, has been at somepoint...  Cool

Oh wow, what are the odds of that happening ever again in any kind of lottery? Lucky bastard...  Grin

The competition has ended. Congratulations to Mike Warner for winning a free Virtualmeet.net T-shirt! The thread will remain open for more bag introspection. Thanks to everyone who has submitted their bag so far!  Grin
