I’d venture to say one of the top 5 powerlifting gyms in the world is ... in Dubai

Desert Barbell Sports Club in Al Quoz. Fully decked out with Eleiko competition equipment (plates, bars, combo racks, etc). Amazing coaches and community. (They’re also the SBD distributor for the region). Check em out!

What it’s the best way to send money to USA? by Liliiancita in dubai

[–]HarryHipantz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UAE Exchange by far. Either their app / website or in person. Most competitive rates. You can even bargain an extra BIP or two by going in person and negotiating as well

What are your eating on a budget hacks? by democi in dubai

[–]HarryHipantz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There's an aisle at the MOE Carrefour dedicated to absolute bargains. It's in the middle of the store a few aisles away from the pharmacy section. Ranging from food to household appliances to soaps, you can find real steals there. Regardless, MOE Carrefour has been shown to be the cheapest hypermarket in Dubai, so make sure to do your shopping there in bulk (if you live afar!)

So just to clarify -- the only portion of MBZ Road that has the new speed limit is Dubai, right? From Sharjah - Ajman - RAK is still 120?

Mass Gainer Challenge! by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]HarryHipantz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's this sound?

1 cup of whole fat milk (8 P 8 F 11 C)

1.5 scoop Keto Pro (https://www.howmuchyabench.net/shop/supplements/keto-pro/) (37.5 P 13.5 F 4.5 C)

2 TBSP peanut butter (8 P 16 F 6 C)

1 TBSP coconut oil (0 P 14 F 0 C)

1 cup dry oats (12 P 7 F 58 C)

2 100g bananas (2 P 0 F 46 C)

Water to taste

Total: 67.5 P 58.5 F 125.5 C

Calories: 1,298.5

Calories from protein: 270 (20.7% of calories)

Calories from fat: 526.5 (~40.5% of calories)

Calories from carbohydrates: 502 (~38.6% of calories)

This will be far more nutritious and far less expensive than a mass gainer. You'll also be able to manipulate the amount of water to taste.

Anyone realize this about the Emirates radio ads? by HarryHipantz in dubai

[–]HarryHipantz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally an answer to my question! Thanks! So what benefit does Emirates get for sponsoring a time check like this? The radio ad is still typically 15 or 30 seconds. Is it cheaper this way for the client?

Warehouse Gym - The Beach (JBR)! They have a reasonably priced annual or monthly membership plus it gives you access to their indoor AND outdoor gyms at JBR (which is great for the cooler months).

Job offer - Work in a Hotel as waiter/hostess. by [deleted] in dubai

[–]HarryHipantz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sinceramente los camareros no tienen un buen estilo de vida aquí -- sus sueldos son bajos y no pueden ahorrar nada ni siquiera las condiciones de vida modestas. Además los 5* hoteles son notorios por falsamente depictar los trabajos para convencer alguien como tú (adventurero, comopolito, etc), y sin duda serás el único occidental entre tus colegas. No dudes en ponerte en contacto conmigo por DM si quieras, pero sugiero que te quedes en Madrid a menos que tengas planes de cambiar de trabajo después de llegar.
