GEAR
Don't get me wrong guys. I'm not talking about gear or steroid, I'm talking about my training gear. Last Thursday I had my training in RMIT City Gym. Did some heavy chest workout so I had to using it. Once I'm done with the total chest workout I went to guide my friend with his Chest training. Soon after that we had our shake and of for our post workout meal.
So Thursday was my Chest, Friday is my rest day and Saturday was my arm. I had mention before that I was training in Doherty's gym for arm. They have super heavy weight dumbell but I don't have the opportunity to use it due to my carelessness on losing my Harbinger Nylon Belt.
On Sunday evening I went to search for another belt and I found one in Rebel. It cost less than AU40 for Harbinger Leather 5inch medium size and I was searching for small size. Anyway, I could squat/ deadlift/ shoulder press heavy again.
A belt or glove is not a must to have but if your lower back hurts, you do need to use a belt. Main function of a belt is to protect you core and lower back while training. Sited shoulder press, Squat and dead lift are the main workout that need belt.
What belt should I use ?
It depends on how you feel towards it. I personally prefer nylon because it is much comfortable than leather. As for leather, it felt like something squeezing my waist so unnatural. There is two type, 5inch and 6inch. This depends on your height, if you are about my height that is 5'5, 5inch should be fine.
As you can see most of my gear are from Harbinger. I would not say that it is the best but it is reliable. I have been using it for past two to almost three years and it is still in a good condition. It is cheap and comfortable. Compare it
