RBST Gear Co. Competition Guide
Competition Gear for Functional Fitness
Built for athletes who refuse to break when the volume climbs, the floor gets loud, and every rep matters.
Shop RBST GearThe Difference Between Ready and Wrecked
You can train for months, build your engine, sharpen your gymnastics, and still lose reps because of one small failure. Your grips slip. Your sleeves slide. Your rope feels off. Your belt slows you down. Your bag turns into chaos.
At RBST Gear Co., we believe competition gear should do one thing: protect the performance you already earned. It will not make you fitter, but it helps you show the fitness you built.
Gear should help you stay locked in.
Hands, knees, wrists, and focus matter.
Transitions should be fast, not messy.
No guessing. No testing. No excuses.
Your Hands Are Your Lifeline
If your event has pull-ups, chest-to-bar, toes-to-bar, bar muscle-ups, rings, or rope climbs, grips are not optional. They are frontline equipment.

Wrist Support That Stays Put
A secure wrist setup helps during muscle-ups, pull-ups, handstand work, front rack positions, and high-rep barbell cycling. The goal is support without constant adjusting.

Competition weekends can throw squats, wall balls, lunges, running, box jumps, and Olympic lifts at you in the same day. Your sleeves should support you without becoming a sweaty anchor.
- 5MM Knee Sleeves: Best for mixed workouts, mobility, and functional fitness flow.
- 7MM Knee Sleeves: Best for heavy lifting, squats, and extra compression.
A Belt That Does Not Fight You
Functional fitness does not let you stand around and slowly adjust your belt. You need support that works fast, moves well, and keeps your midline ready under fatigue.
The RELENTLESS X™ Weightlifting Belt is built for athletes who need bracing support without killing transitions.

Bad rope choices show up fast on competition day. One miss becomes two. Two becomes five. Your rope should be dialed before you ever step on the floor.
The RBST Stinger™ Jump Rope is built for fast rotation, smooth feel, and consistent rhythm under fatigue.

Competition days are chaos: briefing, warm-up, staging, recovery, repeat. If your grips are buried and your rope is tangled, that is wasted energy.
RBST Tactical Backpacks are built to organize the essentials: grips, sleeves, belt, rope, tape, apparel, snacks, and recovery tools.
Shop Tactical BackpacksBuild Around Your Weak Link
If your hands fail first, start with grips. If your knees get beat up, fix your sleeves. If double-unders fall apart, commit to one rope. If your setup is chaos, upgrade your bag.
You do not need more gear. You need fewer failures.The Badger Mentality
The athletes who look calm on the competition floor are not lucky. They prepared the details. Their grips fit. Their rope is ready. Their sleeves are tested. Their belt works. Their bag is organized.
That is the RBST standard.
Prepare relentlessly. Eliminate weaknesses. Control what you can control. When the clock starts, let your fitness talk.
Competition Gear FAQs
What gear should I bring to a functional fitness competition?
Bring tested grips, wrist support, knee sleeves, lifting belt, jump rope, tape, extra apparel, socks, snacks, hydration, and an organized backpack.
Should I test new gear on competition day?
No. Competition day is not the place to test new grips, ropes, sleeves, belts, or shoes. Train with the same gear you plan to compete in.
Are grips necessary for CrossFit-style competitions?
If the event includes gymnastics movements like pull-ups, toes-to-bar, chest-to-bar, rings, or bar muscle-ups, grips are strongly recommended.
What is the best RBST gear for competition?
The best setup depends on your weakness. Popular competition essentials include Iron Claw Grips, Iron X Grips, RBST Knee Sleeves, RELENTLESS X Belt, Stinger Jump Rope, wrist protection, and RBST Tactical Backpacks.
