Weighted Gloves - which ones?

erniemj

For those that have weighted gloves, what style do you have? the triangle shaped ones that wrap, the H-shaped ones that wrap around the wrist/palm? ones with individual finger holes? weights on the palm/back of hand? adjustable weight ones? There are so many options!!

I like the idea of adjustable weight gloves...allows you to build up to a certain weight...my two cents.

they're 1 lb each, so they're perfect for starting out with. everlast is a great brand known for boxing gear, and the gloves stay secure too. some gals in my kickboxing class have the same kind!

Thank you - I was checking out that pair and a few others at Amazon - I like the wrap kind, I think it will be less sweaty than the ones that are more like gloves with finger holes - I also like the idea of adjustable - although some mentioned they are are hard to get the weights in and out and they slide around when you don't have them full of weights (which I was just thinking, I would stuff them with some cloth/fabric to keep them from moving around)

None. Gloves add thickness which prevents the use of a proper grip. Just allow your hands to toughen up, over time it will no longer bother you. The only good use for a weight lifting glove it to cover and injury.

If my 120lb 5’2’’ wife can do deadlifts without gloves, you should be able to handle a couple of dumbbells.

I am not talking about weight-lifting gloves, but rather weighted gloves for use in Kenpo/Martial Arts cardio routines and my zumba classes - my hands are rough and calloused enough from years of hard work - no need for weight-lifting gloves for me either!

My fault, I misread.

I figured, but had to defend myself - I am not a tenderfoot!
