QUOTE(kelvinftg @ Aug 26 2009, 03:07 PM) 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... |

QUOTE(silverwave @ Aug 26 2009, 04:44 PM) 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". have you checked other sports outlet ?? egonutritions or GNC ?? or Oriental Martial Art shop ?? 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. p/s : too many things unavailble @ fitness concept...they really need changes in mgmt... |

QUOTE(pizzaboy @ Aug 31 2009, 10:54 AM) These belts, are flimsy and they do nothing to increase stability. I strongly suggest if you do wanna buy a belt, buy those leather ones with the holes, so it won't snap out when you need it most. gosh, totally forgot bout that...what if the belt stall during lifting.... |

QUOTE(silverwave @ Sep 13 2009, 01:52 PM) Hey, when u say 6" is for taller guys, how tall is that? that would be the 6"...my friend got that one...but not padded la...Most brands only sell 4" except for Harbinger. I'm 175cm. Which would be recommended? I called Weider in Pyramid and the guy said they only have 1 model, it is leather and he is not sure how many inches. Thank you |

Are most gloves not washable ? or just mine because its dirt cheap Does anyone know a pair of good gloves that can be washed, i dont mind paying a little bit more (RM30-RM40) from what i got.

QUOTE(shaniandras2787 @ Jul 30 2013, 09:25 AM) I bought a pair of gloves for workout and they protect my palm area from callus, no problem however the problem is the extension of the 1/2 finger length from the gloves. Though it does cover the 3rd part of the finger (from the top) but when i lift, they tend to expose the 2nd bend joint (from the top) of the finger which i can now see developing slight callus symptoms already. the glove ngam² or slightly loose ? theres a lotsa possibilities...material of the gloves, sizes and so on...I'm not sure whether if the gloves i am having is a badly manufactured wan but i bought it from an online store for RM39.00 and this is the first time i bought gloves for gym. Any idea if this is normal or should i get a pair with better fittings? |
