Yo-Yo Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/56/#findComment-5503747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo-Yo Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/56/#findComment-5503755 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 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. 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. $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.

BoyWhoCriedWolf Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 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.

(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."

God_speed Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 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.

God_speed Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I've used Weider gloves before and been happy with them. Don't usually train with gloves now though.

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.
