Default Got my APT Gift!

My free gift from APT ProWristStraps came today. I chose the Black Nylon Dipping Belt. I wanted it for pullups because quite frankly, the dumbell between my feet is just too heavy and uncomfortable at this point so it really takes away from my pullups which is what I'll use this for.

This was the cheapest dipping belt they carry and right off the bat I see the quality is top-notch. It's not even the Heavy-Wide one but the material seems extremely tough and it is plenty wide enough and padded. The chain is big and strong.

I haven't used it yet but I put a whole lot of weight on it (much more than I would normally use) and it was as comfortable as can be. I'm extremely pleased with it.

I want to thank APT and Sleazy for giving me this gift .

HUGE BUMP for APT pro wrist straps...I also recieved my gift today and I have to say the quality is absolutly outstanding. I chose the http://www.prowriststraps.com/inc/sdetail/34589 which was a great choice for me because I tend to not be able to get my wraps tight enough on the heavy sets, and I hate messing around with stupid straps before my set. I gave them a quick test run tonight (Which was back day conviently) I can definatly say these straps make it MORE than easy.

I want to thank Sleazy and APT for providing me with this great product, cant thank you guys enough!!!!

Here's the main dipping belt page and the next one is the belt I got:

I just got my gift from APT but it wasn't straps. It was a tough call the straps I have now are just about shot but on the flip side, I'm trying to get my grip strength up. So I got the .... wait for it..... 350lbs. Heavy Gripps http://www.prowriststraps.com/inc/sdetail/6174
I have the 250lbs. already and I can almost close them completely for 10 second static hold, so every once in a while I will know try the 350s.

Thanks Sleazy and APT for the gifts.

Lol Yeah, I will probably have to watch that on the deads, but in reality it's probably only for liability I'm sure they can hold more

APT has had EXCELLENT service both times I've used them. Thanks to Sleazy, I got some new heavy duty wrist wraps.

Click Here

First day using them was a little difficult because they're so wide/thick. But, it's not hard to get used to, and they certainly don't look like they'll rip like ALL my other sets from Harbinger...

Very pleasing design.
