Viking-strongman Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Anyone know some good bodybuilding/powerlifting sites that have some good gear? That doesn't charge an arm and a leg for shipping...I know iron ville isn't to badly priced, west side barbell don't even bother recommending that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FellowshipOfTheRon Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 what are you actually looking for ? hoodies? shirts? pants? or when you say gear is it straps/belts and all that stuff? i assume you meant stuff like tshirt and shorts. i don't really buy special clothing to go to the gym it all gets washed too regularly to last very long, the $5 kmart shirts and the wearhouse activewear lineup do just fine, once they get too stretched up or worn out from regular wash/wear & tear its cheap enough to just go buy new set, way better than being a sucker spending $50 stringers or that other wierd/designer bullshit people wear to gyms because they got that passion for fashion lol.

FellowshipOfTheRon Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Belts, wraps etc Sweet, in that case I made a similar thread start of year asking where to get those kind of things. Heaps of suggestions you can find here : http://www.gymnation.co.nz/topic/18751-lifting-gear-beltsleeves-where-when-what/ Important note : if you gonna be doing powerlifting comps, just double check which comps you planning to enter and what they allow.. apparently IPF very strict on the brands of gears they'll let you use.

FellowshipOfTheRon Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 yeah i thought theyre nz.. mine didn't take so long, more like a week, my experience was good but i only ever made just the 1 order from them so either i was lucky or you were unlucky, your pick. i got my knee sleeves from fitshop.co.nz, they have a store based in albany where you can check their stuff out and buy in person if preferred. was also a good experience there for me.
