After taking home the title of Mr. Arizona in the Classic Physique category in October 2023, Ryan McGee was preparing to make his mark on the national stage. But just as his momentum was building, chronic shoulder pain forced him to step away from prep—and even stop all push movements entirely.

Faced with the harsh reality of stepping back from training, Ryan did what champions do: he adapted. Out of necessity and passion, WEIGHTMATES™️ was born.

Designed to mimic the feeling of a lift-off on plate-loaded machines, WEIGHTMATES™️ gave Ryan the support he needed to train with significantly less pain. It allowed him to get back in the gym, doing what he loves most—pushing his limits, and inspiring others to do the same.

WEIGHTMATES™️ isn't just a tool. It’s a game-changer for anyone battling injuries but still hungry to train hard.
