Women who lift...

Does anyone know where to find cute lifting gloves? My old manly black ones have seen a better day & I want some girly ones to replace them. Thought I'd ask the ladies of MFP before I browse around Amazon. Thanks for any help! :)

    I actually just found a pair of cute ones at Target. I have small hands, and the small fit me perfectly!

    I got cute pink ones at my local sporting goods store. Someone one told me they even got a pair at Target that were pretty sassy.

    Look up Dana Lynn Bailey on Facebook. An AMAZING girl! She has leopard and zebra gloves and I know I've seen her post a time or two where she gets them. You can find her through www.mhpstrong.com and bodybuilding.com too.

    Do you use chalk?

    My calluses are just starting (& starting to split) and it's annoying (I have the opposite of beautiful hands to start with*). Frankly I hate adding yet another thing to my grooming routine.

    I thought of maybe buying some regular leather gloves and cutting off the tips, anyone tried that? (Reason: the w/l gloves I've tried on cut into the bit between the fingers, on me, bc of my massive dude-hands)

    No other big-handed ladies? Ah, it doesn't matter does it, I could try the men's small :(

    They are great! I have the leopard ones. The palms are a leather/suede type material and it's a stretchy nylon on the top part. they are really comfortable for lifting. I have tiny hands and the small fit great.

    Yep! Me too - pink & gray cute ones - I can even wear them when I ride my bike & they weren't too expensive. Happy shopping!

    Got mine at Target too, though convenience was more at play than "cute". Was very surprised to fit in and buy the women's XS and they're even loose. I thought I was a big, burly girl, starting to find out maybe I'm not.
  • I don't like lifting with gloves on but they do look HOT :3

    Yes...yes they are.

    Glad you found what you needed from this thread before it spiraled completely out of control. At least stick around and watch the carnage you created.
