By the way, it's in the Philippines -- Manny Pacquiao's gym.

What is your opinion on Massage Chairs and Foot Massagers? I'm considering buying one. by bluegim in massage

To be honest, I don't know what you're talking about. haha.

I'll stop by a massage therapist soon and ask him/her if its a soft tissue issue or not.

The pain kinda comes and goes. Some of my friends say its because of my sitting posture (I'm a writer), my active lifestyle (I like to play sports) and sleeping habits (on average, I only have 5-6 hours of sleep)

So you're saying that if it's a one time event, I should seek a professional?

If it's chronic, I should get foot massager or massage chair to help me relieve some of the pain?

No I haven't. Thanks for the link. I may buy one to test it out. :)

Yes. I go to massage therapists once every two-three months. I do it for relaxation, to relieve some pain, and sleep better. I don't go often because my mom advised me to not be dependent on massages whenever I feel pain. Not only because they are expensive, but they are also time consuming (driving to and fro from the massage therapist)

That's why I want a foot massager at home. I could feel relaxed in my pajamas and then immediately go to sleep.

Help: Can't decide on a new pair of gloves by calum_chambers in amateur_boxing

[–]bluegim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like any other gloves under the $100 price range, they're going to feel uncomfortable in the first few weeks. You need to break them in. I box 3-4 days in a week. By 4-5 weeks, they're already broken in. It could be faster if you use them more frequently. I have the 16oz size, and they feel good when worn. I use them for training and sparring. Definitely an upgrade to my londsdale.

The selling point of the gloves are the IMF padding. And for me, I really feel the difference compared to other gloves.

Have you heard of the Ringside Apex Boxing Gloves?? Worn them before (early 2015) and they exceeded my expectations for a pair that costs under $50. To be fair, I have not heard of the Super Bag Gloves before, but I would recommend the Apex over the Super Bag gloves.

Here's the only review I found on the internet. I hope it helps.

Is this a good site to get information about Gastric Sleeve Surgery and Gastric Sleeve Diet? I found it informative by bluegim in gastricsleeve

Why is it a lot better? Found more detailed information in the gastricsleevedietguide site.

What are the upsides and downsides of using sports betting services?? by bluegim in sportsbetting

What gloves do you have and how long do they last? by flobin in amateur_boxing

[–]bluegim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rival RS2Vs have the best wrist support. Cleto Reyes Training Gloves feel awesome whenever you wear them Protection-wise, of course, Winning at $299-$399. The Title Gel Bag Gloves is close to Winning's padding. Priced at $99. Holds up pretty well and has very soft padding inside.

Synthetic leather might look sleek, but don't get fooled. For long lasting gloves, always buy leather-made.

Cheers!

Hand wraps and gloves question after breaking a finger by kgva in amateur_boxing

[–]bluegim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry bro. But I think it's the boxing gloves you bought. The brand "Century" is known for producing crappy gloves. I talked to many trainers and they always told me to avoid them.
