As you increase the strenuousness of your weight lifting routine you will begin to notice the stress you put on your hands. Whether it is calluses and sheering that is bothering you or wrist cramps and lingering pain, weight lifting gloves can alleviate your pain. A variety of brands offer weight lifting gloves that are designed to support a continuum of activities. From a simple grip enhancing, adhesive promoting leather glove to a thick wrist support band with thick filaments that stake your wrists from bending too far and becoming injured you can find the right glove for your exercise routine.
Nike has a few gloves to choose from. They have created special gloves for women, men, heavy lifting and extra grip. You can find Nike products at most sporting goods stores. Valeo also makes a variety of designs intended for the same use. You should be able to find Valeo products wherever Nike is sold. But the best of the best for the devoted weight lifter is the Harbinger Weight gloves.
Harbinger makes the most dedicated designs. Their “Big Grip” design have a special exterior design that help you to grab on and hold on and a padding cushion of long lasting gel that alleviate pressure from the palms of your hands. The material is breathable and light while being wonderfully rip resistant. If you are doing heavier lifting, the “Men’s Classic Wrist Wrap Gloves” offer the support you need to safely perform cleans, heavy bench press and curls without damaging the tendons in your wrist. They are made with similar breathable fabric and the same grip performance you expect out of the “Big Grip” gloves. The wrist supports are made to double up around your hands and offer true bend back support. If you have come to the point where you lift heavy enough weights to need the protection of wrist support, these gloves will get the job done.
