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

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.

Hrmss.. so what should I be doing? I got some flab on the gut btw.. I wake up seeing a faint 6 but as soon as breakie goes in it's gone...

Any recommendations on the workout? I want to gain some more size & be tone... (I know I know, can't bulk and tone at the same time)

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...

Haha yeah, sorry didn't mention that I could be down that way for the holidays for a week or two and would like to be able to keep the routine... there will be plenty of pudding etc to work off :(

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.

I got a set or urban Muscle gloves, fit good. I only using them on the rotating bar and for seated rows. ive used the Urban Muscle protein powder too, delish and gots the goods.

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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
