Since we haz no one, so I iz are create one.

What gloves are you guise using? I think I wanna get another gloves. Harbinger not bad. I noticed that a lot of guise in the gym go for Maxx gloves.

I own Maxx padded glove. I think RM49.90.

Using Harbinger Classic.

Remember the arabian guy I talked about? He is using Harbinger, bought from UK. The gloves damn nice and solid, even better than those Nike. I think I wanna go pay a visit to egonutrition soon.

My choices...

1. Harbinger
2. Nike
3. Maxx

Still got other brands?

Some brandless gloves I bought from Jusco.

Don buy cheap gloves. They aint doing their job.Cheap gloves still give callus.Go for Harbinger,solid and decent grip as well.Get the one that comes with wrist wrap.RM138 at ego.

Try chalk, better grip than any gloves.

@shanecross: Some gyms don't allow chalk. I know, weird right?

Nike gloves are lousy la. They're so thin and yet expensive.

I'm using a pair of Weider leather gloves. Love em' yum yum

Actually, a lot of commercial gyms don't allow chalk. But I think if you talk to the owners nicely, and wipe up after you're done using the chalk, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Nais colour.

But if I were to travel all the way to ego, WTF tarak worth it lor ini macam. I think I'll buy Nike gloves. Unless I'm buying RM300 and above, free delivery.

Why buy branded, expensive stuff when you can get something cheaper which still works fine? Just because something doesn't cost much, it doesn't make it useless.

Nike gloves?
I don't quite trust nike gloves leh. They don't seem to be into weight lifting stuff.

Maybe it's just me not able to afford those gloves.

Maxx Gloves with writs straps, rm 49 i think, already koyak after about >2 years.


CHOW

I'm looking for a better glove too ... Which one is cheap and comes with good quality ?

me also Maxx but without the long straps...not bad and oso cheap...

go for Maxx as Maxx is cheap and have decent quality...if u have extra money than can go for Harbinger or Weider stuff...

Never liked using gloves,i use straps tho.

So where can I get the Maxx gloves ?

u can find them at any fitness concept store. =.=
its very easy to find Maxx

Nike gives me a feeling that it is comfortable to wear but the durability ....

i was using Harbinger glove, very nice and solid build
but now no more using gloove, just let the callius be...lol
and lift without glove give better grips although it might be hurt

I thought gloves are supposed to give you better grip especially when you sweat ... You know what, my dumbbell rusted because I never used glove when I use the bells ..

Anyone selling gloves in the forums??

I'm just using the pair of gloves given when i bought my dumbbells last time.

Its those cheap ones..MaXX or something..sorry i need to take note of the brand. So far so good. ok mah..stopped callous

where 2 get Harbinger Gloves?
Price compared to Maxx?
i'm using Maxx.

it is double of max
around 110-130 if not mistaken

if i'm not mistaken, last time yeah_guys bulk order it from US ??

egonutrition sells Harbinger products.

try some different gloves sold online.. www.gorilla-grips.com

I got my Everlast gloves from Melbourne, Australia. I can't remember the price but should be less than RM90 after conversion.

Wanna ask, the gloves that comes with the wrist strap, that thing really can protect the wrist? Tomorrow I wanna buy new gloves already before working out. Either Maxx or Nike. Harbinger at Ego too far, lazy to travel.

I'm using Maxx gloves with wrist straps. For me personally I think they give better grip. Plus I think mine were only 40- 60+, I forgot. My parents bought em for me. Been using them for a year and I like them.

its below rm50.
above rm40

I bought my Maxx gloves for Rm12, and they serve its purpose well.

Ok thanks. I think I'm going for Maxx gloves. Nike gloves can be used for anything, but Maxx is meant for bodybuilding. I will pick one RM60 or lesser. No exceed RM60.

Harbinger Cotton Lifting straps


The build is so simple untill i also can diy=.= and i pay RM34 for that?


it comes with some catalog





FRee sample of Controlled Labs Golden Finish

man i should get those..
my grip is soo weak haha..

I used to use those cycling gloves. Now I use Nike gloves. I dun like gloves with palms so thick I can't feel the bar. I've been using the Nike gloves for about 5 months now, & I wash it after every use. Durabilty-wise, so far so good. I also have those wrist straps I bought as Watson's last time, but I dun use those anymore.

I also have a lifting belt, the nylon type with velcro fasteners, but now I just leave it at the gym for anybody to use.

Use unwanted punya school bag strap (FOC). lulz! The strap is not necessary. My friend use that for deadlift, I tarak use also can lift. As long you grip one in and one out, and make sure you pakai good gloves, shouldn't be a problem. Maybe 200kg onwards.

You don't even know how deadlifting 120kg feels like for us ectos...

wait till you lift 100-120kg or 1.2of your BW and you come back to tell me this statement again

i personally dont like wearing gloove, the thickness of gloove make me harder to grips well

yeah! school bag strap, but find something thicker at hardware shop will be better

I'm hippie I haz strong legs. (not showing off, just main only)

I just did 100kg deadlift 2 days ago. It is when that arabian guy doing deadlift, I kasi kepoh a bit, I was doing squat at that time. I'm doing legs workout, he is doing back. Then when he's doing 150kg, I told him I wanna try, but he said don't will break my back. Actually I think he's trying to save his face sikit lare. His record was only 170kg. When I do 100kg deadlift, the effort level is only about 50%. I'm sure I can do more than 150kg 1 rep at least.

Oh yea, I didn't do 300kg leg press, only do 250kg. And the next day I didn't feel much koyak orgasm at quads area. Next week I wanna do 300kg. 250kg I didn't scream, just some moan.

He also did Good Morning exercise, rare workout. He did 50kg only, but the feeling is sure like HELL.

Haha, tell us when you deadlift 150kg then. I can go 100kg X 8. But when it comes to 120kg its a whole new story. Not saying that your legs and back can't take it. Cuz I know my grip failed on my 2nd rep. So straps not necessary? You try 1st.

I'll let you guise know tomorrow, because tomorrow ayam doing back.

My record is 100kg so far, tomorrow I kasi hantam 150kg. Must pakai belt.

I'll do 120kg, 140kg and 160kg. Please pray for me.

160kg = 2 times me weight

yeah, normally is the grips failed 1st before your body

glad to hear that u no more saying Deadlift is dangerous,,,LOL

zeist, 120kg i can go up to 10 reps if i push myself without strap.
but at 150kg i cant even go one rep without strap.
call me weak... =.=
but u will know when u get those heavy weight up...

Thanks for the advice guise.

I think next week Wednesday I do back, arabian guy doing back on Wed, so maybe I can follow him.

He got strap.

I saw how he wrap the thingy. Seriouzly I learned a lot from him.

You may get it, but you'll have to say bye to good form.
Tel us how it goes

When I was doing my power training routine a couple month's back, I did Uni Good Morning, good morning with one leg. My max was like.. 100 lbs.. that time la. Now I dun do it no more... Good for Ur back, glutes...

I went to Egonutritions' store at the Curve yesterday. Once I got in I went straight for the Harbinger display shelves. & immediately one of the guys there went to me & said,"Bro, the gloves are all pigskin yeah." & I was like,"All of 'em ?" & he was like,"Yeah, all of 'em". So I went to the supplements section & left. Boy, these guys are gonna beat the crap outta GNC with prices like that. I just ordered (online) a 5lb tub of ON's 100% Whey for RM220 something plus delivery. I think at GNC they cost at least RM100 more.

About the Harbinger gloves. There was no signage or warning at the store that says the gloves are pigskin. & there was none at the website as well. I guess the good folks at Egonutritions oughta put some signs up, for the benefit of their Muslim customers.

actually it says on the cover..
pig skin if im not mistaken..and its properly covered...
but extra sign wont hurt either..

I'm using harbinger leather classic. The plastic stuff around the glove starting to peel off. Don't know why. T,T

Yeah, perhaps a clearer signage of something, like the one they have in Studio R on the shoes...

rm220 for 5lbs?
gnc is selling rm189.90 if u r VIP member.
=.=
hahaha...

how'd your deadlift go?
have you pulled your desired numbers ?

i am dying to know that too... haha

Really ? The last time I bought ON there, RM179.90 for the 2-pounder, & that was during the buy one get one promo. How much discount can U get being a VIP member ? 50% ?

recently or last month they drop their price.
without member, i think its rm230 or something like that.
10 or 15% i think...

Oh the horror of ectos deadlifting.

zeist where are you, are you aight?

Hmm... I guess they've been hurt by the competition. Even in our Garage Sale thread the 5-pounder was selling like RM190-200.

I think he masok hospital or failed pulling it.

Not surprised if he ends up in the ER anytime soon. His ambitious figures.

Whats wrong with ectos DL'ing?

And then, people are going to say deadlifts are bad for your back. Whee! Once again, the bad rep.
Anyway, nothing wrong with ectos deadlifting. It's just that it's a big tough if they have long legs with insufficient mass.

I do however, have a routine that I need to have some guinea pigs for. Anybody interested? It involves plenty of front squats, plenty of varying grips, pulling from various positions. It involves no bicep curls, no triceps extensions, no calf raises although you can add it in yourself if you want to. It's high in volume, weight, intensity and difficulty. It requires loads of will power to complete and quite a bit of pain.

It doesn't believe in periodization. Well personally I don't believe in using periodization for athletes trying to lift a maximal weight.
It's suitable for people trying to add strength, weight and power. It also requires you to have perfect form and a year or so of experience. It's designed to increase pulling speed and strength, increase quad strength and improve hip flexibility and power.

Anybody interested?

iamyuanwu can try... haha

Phuck you guise. Haha.

Oh... I only did 100kg, and I tarak have proper meal and tarak pre workout the other day. My schedule now is getting tight, so ketat until you can feel the orgasm so much. Ok.

Now I workout early in the morning, wake up as early as 5am, haz some light breakfast, then head to gym at 6am. Workout then shower must GTFO from there at 8am latest. Then drive like M Schumacher from Klang to KL for work (people work at 9am, my boss let me start at 9.30am, haha). Pppffftt! I think after I change to Passport membership for the next month, I'll be staying at my aunt's place. I can't workout at night, reach home also about 8pm. Tired.

Damn, no chance to meet arabian guy anymore. Phuck. But hopefully get to see him on weekends.

Before workout, I will have 5 egg whites, milk and banana (blend). Afterthat haz some fiber biscuits till lunch.

I seriously doubt even if you had proper meals you would be able pull off an extra 50kg.

muahhaha... i totally agree... =.=

WORD.

LoL cut the overzealous zeist and his ayam iz fakap stories a bit of slack. He's just trying to get some guns.

for me once hit 100kg extra 10kg is BIG difference


Chow

zeist planning to hit 150-160kg wor. =.=
50-60kg different is hmmm... a BIGGER difference. haha
just wish him luck...
do let us know... =.=
dying to know ur progress...
hahaha... and also ur dumbell progresses... kaka

its a big gap but maybe he can do it in few months time...who knows..

Eh, me busy now, no more active like used to be.

Dumb bells bench press now I can do 40lbs by myself. Getting better. 45lbs and 50lbs need a spotter. Max 50lbs for nao. As for leg press, I still do 300kg. You guise can continue saying about my ego or what. But I know myself, I'm not. Continue talk smack I don't care.

Do tell us about your deadlifts once you manage to pull 150kgs aite.

hmm... i think those ppl are giving u some advise instead of saying u r ego.
if u wanna think it that way and be too sensitive, then so be it la...
u think u right then go ahead...
all of us got nth to lose anyway...

Dude is wayyyy too touchy.

Don't know what that meant, but if you want me to touch you I guess I can.
























No homo.

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"...
