Well I am going to be picking up some accessories and I was wondering what you guy use.

As for me I am looking at:

Gloves Strapped:

1st - Bionic

2nd - Schiek

Mmmmmm..... Gel support...

3rd - Harbinger

These look like MEATY gloves

I like the strap design on this one

I like the sound of the Bionic because they are the only glove that is designed by a Orthopedic Hand Surgeon but at $50 I don't know

The 2nd is the Schiek. The have a Comfort Gel in the palm, plus I like the design of the strap, and come on, they are good enuff for Cutler, Martinez :p


Belts:

Schiek

Well since I have ballooned to the size of a small orbiting planet, my choices are slim. Looks like my only choice, due to my waist size, is the Schiek Nylon 6"


What do you guys use and how do they hold up to wear and tear as well as washing? Does anyone use the Schiek Nylon 6" or any of the gloves listed, and if so what are your thoughts?

I got the velcro schiek belt. It's a good one. I've had it for 5 years and it's still good. But if you do heavy squat or deadlift it's not quite enough as far as support. The belts from prowriststraps are great for the power lifts.

Also the gloves are bacterial nests! Since the hands are were you carry the most germs. The gloves are to be washed often to avoid that. If you have grip trouble, can't use chalk or want to spare your hands for your gf, try this product http://www.lynxpt.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=67&Itemid=66

Yeah I got the 2006 belt (nylon/Velcro) as well. Looks great, but I agree, it does not look like it would suffice for HEAVY deads or squats, for that Leather all the way. However, I don't see myself doing that kind of weight anymore since my car accident, so I should be good with what I got.

As for the gloves, I always wash mine; I can't stand it when my hands itch, lol. That grip pad is cool, but I don't mind the powder and since my hands are ripped all to hell after working on cars with my buds, they can't get fucked up too much more than they are half the time already, lol, though I do like lots of padding.

I've been using APT Pro Wrist Wraps since 2001. Debbie does all the phone work she is great they stand behind their product 100% which is the best quality I have come to know. Very friendly with returns and exchanges too. They have unique items for every situation. Find them on Amazon but deals are better on the homepage. Right now a lot of stuff out of stock due to millitary personel buying a lot of stuff. Better tell them to drop that oh Yeah bar first, don't know why they all like it so much.
