Who can recommend a good brand of weight gloves? My hands are getting cut up due to the new nurling on the bars and attachments.

anything really imo

I used to have leather gloves but they ripped on me (after 5 years of having them mind you) now have the nonslip cloth material ones just because that's all they sold at the gym I go to

went without gloves for awhile coz cbf'd buying new gloves when my other ones ripped but started getting corns where my palm meets my fingers

If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

friday

- have sex

Saturday (if keen)

- just arms, bicep curls, tricep press ra ra

- cardio

- try have sex with the missus LOL

repeat.

that explains it...

try having sex on the OTHER days to compliment your workouts & you'll notice an improvement

I suggest finding other female workout partners if your missus isn't available :D:)

I agree with some_cs_student, John...there's too much isolation going on there, too many exercises...particularly if you want to increase muscle size. And I see a fair bit of crossover in that routine...you should give certain muscle groups a bit more rest...rest is just as important as your workout.

$20-25 fingerless Harbingers from Rebel Sport...don't need anything special in this department. If you go heavy with the weights you'll still get corns with gloves but they won't be anywhere as bad.

On what lifts?

Your hands will get used to it over time, I use chalk for heavy deadlift's.

Although if you never plan on competing in power-lifting or similar than you can get away with gloves...since not using gloves I've found my grip stronger though.

Yeah, not lifting really heavy weights. I think the problem is the nurling, its pretty rippy. Ive actually split the skin on two fingers so I think gloves are the go at least until they fix themselves.

Two problems there, your associating your workout with fat loss.

I don't agree with the bulking/toning, have a read of The Truth About Bulking

You can gain muscle and look more toned at the same time, its just hard to do. In fact, I don't agree with bulking/cutting cycles at all, have a read of The first 5 years

PTC - 10 GREATEST FITNESS/STRENGTH MYTHS read number 9 in particular.

Finally maybe try a beginners program?

Quoting Markos from that article "You are a beginner if you cant bench 100kg, squat 140kg and deadlift 180kg. I dont care what your bodyweight is, get bigger, its why your lifting. Bodyweight is not an excuse."

Also see my previous posted link :)

very interesting read!

yes, I am at work, I got in at 4:00 am to do an upgrade on a scheduling system, don't ask lol

Not sure if my routine (on the previous page) is any good though, might need some guidance on what I doing wrong.

Hey all,

Just quickly does anyone know of a decent gym down south, which has free weights and cardio equipment?

Ideally somewhere along the coast between Nowra and say, Ulladulla, so including the Jervis Bay / Vincentia area.

Can't find much online...

I can recommend you DON'T buy harbinger gloves, every pair I've had has ripped in the same spot - down the seam where the tag is on the inside. I'm on my 3rd pair (returned) and I've given up and am using them with gaping holes.

Serious man? I'm on my 3rd pair after like 8 years of training. I buy the cheapest Harbingers too :(

Are they tight or loose when you wear them? Gym gloves should be fairly loose...I see alot of people at my gym with snug fitting gloves and IMO this restricts movement and breathing. You can hold a pair of sponges and use them for grip, so gloves certainly don't need to be tight.

Pink sponges definately... work the best. :(

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
