I usually wear compression tights to gym, mainly those cheap Nike/Adidas which is around rm160-190 range

Recently My friend recommend me these compression like "Skin" and "2XU" which cost around rm400+

I am thinking of getting one but am unclear which brand to go, any review from people who are using either or both of this brand and what is the benefit of each of them.

My intention is to get a compression that help to tighten the core area and also help to release sweat without them soaking my body (the nike/adidas doesn't does anything and usually get so wet, sometime cause me to get prickly heat rashes)

I'm looking at this 2 model

Skins Short Sleeve Compression Top


2XU Elite Compression Top


Anyone who using compression please advice

Got point 1 meh? I just use tank tops or normal tees nia.

wanna get rid of sweaty body that cause pimples

Go for regular oil massage.

Hi there TS,

I had those 2XU's and Nike & Adidas compression gears... honestly, other than looking good & sweat more, I really don't feel the difference in using them...

I would recommend Phiten products rather than compression gears.

FYI. (I am no boasting, just sharing) I am a 4 time full marathon finisher with uncountable finishes in 30kms, 1/2 marathons & 10km runs.

any picture of Phiten and what is it?

The only phiten I know is those necklace

Anyways, i think those overpriced compression pants/shirts are overrated.

Some people train with normal pants and loose t-shirt only.

just wanna try them out and see if it help in my case
seeing some ppl using the waist belt too but some ppl also says it's unnecessary

This is the Malaysian Page: http://www.phitenmy.com/

I would recommend the Rakuwa X50 necklace & bracelet.

Please note that there is a lot of Imitation Phiten products out there, please buy from a reliable source or better at the Phiten shop itself.

Once you try and seen the difference... you'll always wear it

Well, it's not wrong....

If you can take the blow to your wallet, just get it lol.

See whether it works or not?

what does it do, mind elaborate

go to the shop, they have this 5kg lift test... one time you do it without and one time you do it with the Phiten wrapped around your wrist...

let me know your outcome of the test here

What does phiten do?

Based on his replies above, maybe an exponential increase in power in lifting.

In layman's term, it activates the surrounding muscles to be in Ready state.

When muscles are in a ready state, affected area produces more power and heals faster. (depending on where you put the Phiten product).

For me, I am quite active in Running, Badminton and Bowling. Thus why I have the necklace and bracelet.

E.g:-

- if you wear the necklace... your breathing will be easier, lesser upper back pain and lesser headache.
- if you wear the bracelet... you are able to heal your tenis elbow faster, help's CTS patient heals faster and also produces slightly more power to increase your game performace.
- if you wrap the necklace at your ankle or knees, it helps to heal/lessen the pain for ligament injuries.

FYI, the above are what I am using my phiten for. Please note that I am no Phiten ambassador or sales person. I am recommending it purely based on my experience using it.... Sharing is caring maaaa

in more layman term :

it's bullshiat

is something like LCW wear one on his neck ..

i don't need all these bracelet or necklace to do my running ...
without it i still can do back to back LSD ..

u use roid

It is your choice to believe it or not, but please don't say I bullshit. I only share what effects it has on me and not other people.

Yes correct, he's using the LCW limited edition X50. Which I bought for my wife.

Bravo! I did not use it before, but when I used it my timing became better. thus I decided to keep on using it. Just sharing my experience.

still thinking of the suit because my purpose is to tighten the core muscle while doing training at gym

icic .. actually i just use compression tights for legs recovery only .. others day except race day only will put up compression on marathon and ultramarathon ..

It's really your choice on what you decide... however the best would be if you are able to lend a suit from someone to try it out 1st and see the difference... I just dont want you to feel the regret I had when I bought mine...

Once you tried, if you feel got different... then spend it on a good brand like 2XU.

anyhow I still use my compression shirt and pants thou... for swimming purposes... heheheheh

Leg recovery = Not jalan kangkang meh?

u're questioning a elite runner in lyn runner thread mang

If you noticed, I was merely kidding with him.

He was an quite a chatter last time around some corner of the forum.

I was kidding too

This one looks gooding ... 2XU PWX Vented compression long sleeve top

LCW uses Phiten but still can't beat LD in the major tournaments.
