Bakit ang sabi dun sa link na posted ni Karding. On bench press, wrong position of thumbs pag hindi wrap around sa barbell? And yet I still see most of the heavy lifters do the thumbs aligned with other fingers not wrapped around the bar.

And one more thing I notice, sabi locked elbows? Karamihan ng nakita kong websites sabi wag daw i-lock ang elbows, this could cause injury and add more strain.

Nakita ko nga na sinabi na kailangan daw locked, tatanong ko nga sa Forum nila.

I have been using the no thumb grip forever and I find it harder for me to wrap my thumb.

[van_wilder]

i wrap my thumb... mas sanay ako... pero sa pushdowns and skullcrushers, minsan oo minsan hindi, ang sakit kasi sa wrist, na injure na kasi dati

[Karding]

may nag reply sa question about locking:

posted by OverloadI try not to lock out on any exercise but I forget sometimes. You'd be better off not locking out as that also keeps constant tension on the muscle being worked in addition to perhaps preventing injury.

In addition, kahit pull-ups (wide grip) ko no-thumb din. with thumbs ako sa mga curls' exercises.

Ungas, saan ka nag-gigym?

Frank, di pala nagkakalayo edad natin saka physique. Try mo yung workout program sa previous page. Or go to this link directly:

Also, Protein Protein Protein and more Protein daw. So I ordered the AST VP2 and the Ny-tro Pro kse I dont have time to prepare my baon, too busy for school and work. Ihahalo ko lang sa quaker oats ko yung mga supplements and solve na ko. I dont miss a morning without any cereal anyway. I have been taking Nitrovarin for a year, useless. So try ko naman yung AST products.

Goodluck to us!

I just had to re-read this again, unang basa ko kala ko Nutri-buns. Yung tinapay, ahehehe. :bwahaha:

So what's your final verdict with regards to thumb grips? Wrapped or aligned? Anyway, I've been working out with both and no problems at all.

Iwasan nga lang mag-lock, kahit ako pumapalya pag nalilimutan at pagod na. :D

[theveed]

I think whatever suits your comfort level Jon with regards to the thumb position.

As for elbow locking, ibang camp ang body building vs powerlifting sa ganyan eh... I'd think locking the elbows would provide a "little" rest period during the positive phase of the lift...

look at this guy's transformation in 12 weeks.

[theveed]

Goes to show... Diet is key talaga if transformation ang habol, without protein, there's no weight gain, without calorie/sugar cutback, no fat loss.

[Ungas]

Hmm... magic! :D

Pag dito yan nangyari, iisa iisipin ng mga tao. He's on steriods! Ambilis ng transformation!

[GlennSter]

mga dudes...

ano magandang gloves?sabi sakin wag nike...kasi daw bumabaho (wooshoo..namamahalan lang ako..herherherh)

HARBINGER ok ba?may leather at garter part siya. (390 pesos in alimall..hehrehrerh)

im using LP kasi eh..wasak na.

anong material ba ang hindi mabilis bumaho at madaling labhan?

natatakot ako sa leather kasi pag nilabhan at sinampay baka masira agad.

[Ungas]

Yung Everlast mabaho at malutong ang leather, kumukupas pa yung kulay sa kamay.

Gamit ko ngayon Harbinger, with wrist support. Hindi stretch yung wrap around sa wrist kaya pwedeng gamiting dead-lift straps pag hindi kailangan ng wrist support.

[GlennSter]

may leather part ba yung iyo?

ung nakita ko kasi may leather,...natatakot nga ako baka madaling mag crack pag nilalabhan.

[odell]

ok naman sa nike. gamit ko un dati. kulay black apti purple. hehe..

hugasan na lang siguro once a week

[Karding]

Glenn, di ka magsisi sa Harbinger. Ito ang pinalit ko nung na discontinue ang Ektelon. I tried several brands of gloves, talagang kinakalyo ako. Ektelon and Harbinger may mga "techgel" para iwas kalyo.

eto ang gamit ko ngayon, masarap sa kamay. gusto ko din sana ng may wristwrap, pero maluwag sakin ang may built-in wristwrap. Kaya gamit ko Rist-Lok.

Ano pa nga pala iba nyo pang paraphernalia sa gym aside from towel of course. Naka UnderArmour headband sana UnderArmour jock strap din ako, then Nylon 2" belt.

[GlennSter]

wow...new model yata yan ng harbinger..hindi ganyan ung nakita ko eh..not sure din if it has techgel....hindi naman ako kalyuhin masyado...pero natatakot lang ako sa mabahong gloves..dami pa namang chikas sa gym.herherhehrehrer

[Karding]

As far as amoy, yung mga dyed leather ang may amoy. Try to smell it before you buy, kapag amoy dye, mas mataas ang chance mo na mangamoy yon. Itong Harbinger ko, may NoSweat lining. Extended contoured finger length para wala ding kalyo when doing curls. Yung model ng gloves ko, they dont usually have it on local stores that I know of. I needed to order it from a fitness store 50 miles away which specializes in weight training.

[notEworthy27]

san ba maganda mag gym? balak kong mag umpisa this sembreak. hehe

[sHoCkAbSoRbEr]

So far, maganda pa rin sa Fitness First. Ok mga equipment and facilities, pati na din mga gymmates...

[1D4LV]

glenn, para hwag bumaho, use gloves with leather fronts tapos cloth (woven) backs. tapos syempre, try to wash it at most once a week.

[Ungas]

Washing them once a week will be fine, don't hang 'em dry under the sun! Kukunat ang balat at dun maguumpisang masira. Just hang them somewhere dry and safe. Matutuyo din yan eventually. Yung gamit kong Harbinger wala namang amoy, yes it has leather parts. Inverted leather dun sa palm part for more grip. Elastic garter on the back part of your hand so that skin could breathe. Di tulad nung Everlast brand, pag alis sa kamay ko amoy paa... yuccck!

I also use 8 inch belt for lower back protection & abdominal compress. The brand just slipped off my mind while replying.
