  • Free-weight training:
  • Weight machines
  • Cables
  • Rower grip bars
  • Neck trainers – also known as neck strengthening devices or neck strengtheners, are devices designed to strengthen the neck muscles and improve mobility, flexibility, and posture through targeted stretches and strengthening exercises.[1] They are commonly used in athletic training, physical therapy, and rehabilitation to enhance neck stability, increase muscular endurance, and support recovery from—or prevention of—neck injuries.
  • Head/neck harness
  • Variable resistance training:[2]
    • Elastic bands[3] (resistance bands): monster bands, hip circles, floss bands, mini bands

    • Grip: Gym chalk, gloves (the use of gloves during weight training is controversial. Some believe gloves improve grip, while others believe the extra material between the skin and bar worsens grip. In either case, grip strength must be trained to improve performance.[5][6])

"Shaped like a crescent moon and inspired by the goat-and-sheep-hefting prowess of shepherds, the Bulgarian bag is essentially a re-engineered sandbag. Instead of containing a single bladder of sand, they're usually filled with individually wrapped sand packets and padded with wool to create a solid, curved (typically goat leather) sack that's more stable than a traditional duffel-shaped sandbag."
