NAPA, Calif. - April 17, 2008
Health enthusiasts hit the gym to stay fit and healthy, so do
you ever wonder why they use club equipment that is covered in
sweat and germs? According to Harbinger Fitness, the leading brand
of workout gloves and fitness accessories, gym germs are becoming
more of an issue for those who frequent fitness clubs.
The most effective way lifters can train hard and protect themselves
from “gym germs” is by bringing their own top-quality
equipment with them to the gym. Those who want the very best in
training aids can rely on Harbinger. Its most popular training
aids for the serious lifter include Lifting Straps, Bar Pads, Tricep
Ropes, Ab Straps, and Weightlifting Gloves. When it comes to training
equipment, the motto is “BYOG” – Bring Your Own
Gear - for an effective and hygienic lifting session!
 Pro Cotton Lifting Straps
Designed to both enhance grip and reduce finger fatigue, Harbinger’s
Pro Cotton Lifting Straps are terrific for shrugs, rows, cable
pulls, lat pull downs, dead lifts, farmer walks and more. The 5mm
Neoprene padded wrist wrap allows the user to secure the lifting
strap in the proper position while providing maximum cushioning
during lifting. The 11.5-inch woven cotton strap wraps around the
bar to improve grip. These two parts are sewn together with super
durable, heavy-duty nylon stitching. With the fully adjustable
stainless steel buckles, the fit can be customized to provide ample
wrist support. The straps are designed for right and left hands
with the steel buckle worn on the outside of the wrists. The pair
of black straps retails for $20. One size fits all.
 Bar Pad
Sets of squats and lunges are more comfortable with Harbinger’s
Bar Pad, which reduces pressure points to the neck and spine. The
14-inch pad wraps around all standard bars, protecting the neck
and shoulders with 15mm of NeoTek™ foam. A suede cover increases
comfort and durability.
The 16-inch Olympic Bar Pad has all the same features listed above,
but is designed to specifically fit Olympic bars. Both pads come
in black. The standard bar pad retails for $13, and the Olympic
Bar Pad sells for $15.
 Tricep Rope
The Tricep Rope is designed to help lifters do exercises that target
the upper body. Made out of heavy-duty coated nylon that is 1" in
diameter, Harbinger’s Tricep Rope can be used for training
triceps, biceps, back, shoulders and abs. The rope is 36” in
length for full tricep and arm extension. The rope’s molded
and ribbed rubber ends are ergonomically designed to provide
the maximum in traction and pulling leverage during use. Rubber
rope ends have an internal bearing mechanism that provides full
rope rotation during training. The rope is supported by a forged
steel grommet that hooks into any universal gym system. The Tricep
Rope’s suggested retail price is $35.
 Ab Straps
Designed to strengthen abdominal muscles, Harbinger’s Ab
Straps are made out of heavy-duty cordura nylon with steel grommets
for the maximum in strength and durability. The straps have a locking,
forged steel carabineer that hooks into any universal gym. The
inside bottom of each strap has 1.5-inch heavy-duty, high-density
foam to support and cushion the arms. The side straps have been
lined with a brushed nylon that protects the arms and makes the
straps easier and more comfortable to use. The Ab Straps come in
black and retail for $40 a pair.
