i'm planning to buy dumbells..any brand suggestions? I'm on budget so, recommend the best price...thanks for your help dudes..

body sculpture @ tesco and kettler @ jusco will cost you below RM70 for 5kg...

The prices of DB at Fitness Concept have soared over the last few years.

Got a 10kg adjustable weights DB for only RM 50+++ in 2004/05 I think.

thanks for prompt reply dude...both brands that you've mention above is for chrome DB or other material??

which material is good? i guess chrome cuz it last longer rite, correct me if i'm wrong...

chrome DB...kettler is better imo but the plates hole is different from body sculpture...if you have extra money, can get MAXX DB @ fitness concept...got rubberized plates....but the price a bit expensive...

I recently bought 10kg dumbbells X 2 @ RM 69.90 each from kepong jusco. Each set comes with the bar, 1.75kg x 2, 1kg x 4 and 2 of those star shaped lock nuts to keep the weights in place. Can't complain much about the quality, cept for the sharp edges on the lock nuts due to sh*tty chroming.

is it kettler brand ?? kettler is good...most of the db that using the flowers shape collars is a bit edgy...

hello guys, i've been looking for a lifting belt quite some time. When i checked Fitness Concept in Subang parade, they seemed to have the Maxx 4" belt only. If i'm not mistaken, Maxx does have 6".

I checked fitness concept in pyramid today and they seemed to have 4" too.

If i can't get Maxx, my next option is Weider but i have not checked their models. Harbinger is priced at Rm174 which i think is a bit high.

My question here is, does 4" and 6" make a lot of difference? My perception is a larger width will have more support on the back. Pls correct me if i'm wrong. Thank you.

have you checked other sports outlet ?? egonutritions or GNC ?? or Oriental Martial Art shop ??

p/s : too many things unavailble @ fitness concept...they really need changes in mgmt...

egonutrition only has Harbinger brand. GNC i thought its supplements only?

Fitness concept has only 2 brands. One is ITO and another is MAxx. I only saw 4" lifting belt there but if i'm not mistaken i saw someone in the gym with a 6" Maxx belt.

My advice is to check out EGO Nutritions. They've got a pretty good range of products.

For lifting belt, there's only Harbinger. I checked the other day when i bought my lifting straps.

need to check the local sports shop such as d'fitness etc...amazingly sometimes they have rare items....

May i know where is this shop?

d'fitness located inside Seremban Parade...bought a pair of nice glove there last time...got lifting belts but dunno wether 4" or 6"...

hehe, i'm in subang bro. really far to go there. Need to check for that shop around here.

HARBINGER is like NIKE in bodybuilding and its not for show.. Its the real deal.. You bought straps in Subang Parade EGOnutritions ?

Yea, Harbinger is awesome! I have Harbinger gloves with wrist wraps too. Really good.

Yup, in Subang Parade.

Cool, you got if from the short sales dude ?

Yes and i'm starting to wonder whether it is you.
