Product description

WHEN NOTHING WORKED, WE BUILT OUR OWN.

THE ORIGINAL GYM PLATE BACKPACK DESIGN – BY LIFTERS WHO NEEDED BETTER

What started as one idea became a new way to train — controlled, balanced bodyweight exercises with your own plate! Perfect for enhancing pushups, squats, pullups & more.

There’s only one THEFITGUY, the original backpack built by lifters who wanted to solve a real problem, not just a factory idea. Others may follow, but the standard was set here.

Choosing us means choosing the real thing – design that stands the test of every rep. Thank you for letting us be part of your journey.

FITS UP TO 17.5” DIAMATER PLATE (OR STACK OF PLATES) AND UP TO 2.5″ IN THICKNESS

Accommodates weight plates (or a stack of plates) with a maximum diameter of 17.5″ with a combined thickness of up to 2.5″. Your safety comes first, so while this backpack is crafted with premium materials & reinforced stitching, for safe use we recommend a maximum total weight of 45lbs (20kg)

ADJUSTABLE CHEST AND WAIST STRAPS FOR SECURE FIT

The adjustable chest strap and adjustable waist strap ensure the backpack stays in place, enhancing stability during high-intensity movements for a safer workout experience

DESIGNED FOR ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

Our backpack is designed to enhance bodyweight training, making it ideal for athletes of all levels looking to intensify their bodyweight exercises.

Dips Consideration: The backpack’s width may limit elbow movement during dips. Please keep this in mind if dips are a key part of your workout routine

WE KEEP IT REAL. KNOW THE FIT. TRAIN THE RIGHT WAY NOT YOUR AVERAGE BACKPACK SIZE

This backpack is bigger than your average gym bag and that’s by design. With an 18.5″ width, it snugly holds a 17.5″ gym plate close to your body for controlled movement.

Please note that smaller plates will naturally settle at the bottom, with the strap locking them firmly in place during training

HOW TO WEAR IT RIGHT

The bag is built to handle up to 45lbs — but let’s be real, that’s heavy. For easier wear and a longer lifespan, we recommend using the top handle to place it on a bench with back support, then strapping in while seated.

Please avoid lifting or pulling a fully loaded bag by the shoulder straps

PART OF OUR WEIGHTED PROGRESSION GEAR LINEUP

IF YOU’RE TRAINING WITH THE PLATE BACKPACK — YOU’VE CHOSEN CONTROLLED PROGRESSION. As you get stronger, keep building smart: use the backpack for weighted pushups and pullups. Pair it with the Dip Belt for classic weighted work, and add Dumbbell Straps or the Squat Belt when you want more ways to load and go heavier.

4 Pieces. 1 Progression. Built for growth.

TURN PUSH-UPS INTO REAL STRENGTH TRAINING: Purpose-built backpack that loads a full-size gym plate for push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges and calisthenics. A smarter alternative to preset weighted vests
SIZED FOR A 17.5″ GYM PLATE (47 CM WIDTH): Fits plates up to 17.5″ diameter and 2.5″ thick. Bigger than a casual backpack — that’s what keeps the weight snug, secure and effective. Expect a training fit, not a casual carry
HEAVY-DUTY BUILD THAT STAYS TIGHT: Reinforced stitching, padded straps, and a dual buckle system built for repeated heavy loading. Adjustable chest and waist straps lock plates close to your body, keeping movement stable and controlled through every rep.
SMART WEAR TIP FOR LONGEVITY: Place the loaded bag on a bench and strap in while seated. Avoid pulling it up by the shoulder straps when heavy to protect stitching and extend product life
WEIGHTED DIPS CONSIDERATION: While the backpack is primarily designed for push-ups and versatility in weighted calisthenics, its width may limit elbow movement during dips. Please keep this in mind if dips are a key focus of your training
