ohh ok ok ^^ thanks
btw newb here, wanna ask wats the diff between barbell n ez bar? shud i get both?

physically u know the differents right ??

barbell - bench press, shoulder training, squat, deadlift etc
ez bar - bicep curl, skullcrusher, upright row, etc

if you hv extra money, it's a good buy...if not, get the barbell 1st...

just my 2 cents...

have anyone try using dumbbell with 10 kg plate each side?

why ask? it`ll be 20+kg dumbell....
i never used 20 kg though..only 18kg for rows

ive done a 22 kg dumbell row with 2x10kg plates.... its not what i usually do ..so dont go thinking im sum super strong muscle guy.... managed 2 full reps.

I just started with a chin up bar and free weights max of 10kgs each side.
Still hunting cheap weights and a bench soon.

I did a search on every fitness shop I can find-didn't manage to get ALL shops in Malaysia but most of it. I was searching for Power Rack, a good investment actually if you want a home gym but unfortunately, they all cost a bomb! Here's some of what i managed to find out:

Maxx Fitness Squat Rack
http://transmark.com.my/sfl/index.php?mid=...cts-item&id=648

Cost: RM 7,900.00

Hammer Strength Olympic Power Rack

Cost: RM 11,740.00

Hammer Strength Heavy Duty Half Rack
Cost: RM 10,800.00

And the one from Fitness Concept, the Marcy Heavy Duty Trainer, cost only RM 3000++

http://www.fitnessconcept.com.my/index.php...cts-item&id=732

It's a good investment. So if you have the money and space for it, go for it.

And to make sure I didn't go off topic, here's my gym equipments:

A barbell

A pair of Dumbbells(Maxx Fitness)

Apex Bench(selling off-pm me if you're interested)

A one-on-one trainer bench(selling off)

2x(2x2ft) rubber mat
2x10kg
4x5kg
4x2.5kg
4x1.25
4x0.5kg

P.S: if you wanna buy the two bench(still in good condition), email me at wilsonz91@hotmail.com

dude, are you seriously considering hammer strength for your home gym? its like the SLR among Mercedes.

If it is cheap but then unfortunately it's wayyyyyy outta my budget. So if can, maybe getting the Marcy one instead.

how much is a pair of dumbbell wif 10kg weightplates each side?

I don't think there are dumbbells with weight plates of 10kg. Max also 5kg. But then the rate now is RM5 per kg for metal plates I think.

rm25 for 5kgs?
what shop sell at the rate?
fitness concept sell it like higher...

Tesco and/or Jusco I presume.

got lah

got 10kg la. go to the gym and you will see . lol.

i mean total weight of 10kg of a dumbbell... i asked the price for a pair of dumbbell wif total weight of 20kg is rm190 in fitness concept at mdi valley...

They don't come cheap since metal and rubber price increase. get the rubber ones, so u can sorta drop it on the ground without making that much noise

I know got 10kg plates, but you put 2 10kg plates per side for a dumbbell got ke? I thought for BB only.
