I have just started NROLFW and have noticed my hands are getting really sore! Can anyone recommend a good set of gloves to use, or do any ladies have any recomendations for any that are good for smaller hands? I dont want to spend a ridiculous about (under £15), any advice greatly appreciated!! x

Any decent brand will do you good to be honest. Having said that, gloves do reduce grip strength so use them only when your hands are getting really bad - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzgXSHxyxNs
I got mine from this site http://monstersupplements.com/store/frontpage-lang-1.html0 -
I'd recommend chalk over gloves, as gloves will interfere with your grip, but Harbinger and Bionic Fitness make decent gloves in smaller sizes for women.0

I have some Nike gloves I got from TKMaxx for around £7 which have stopped me getting calluses.0

I also have a pair of Nike gloves and they are very comfortable and were not expensive. while it may be better to not use gloves I play guitar so sore hands not an option :-)0

Echo the comments about chalk over gloves. You may want to take a look at whether or not you are properly gripping the bar when you lift. A proper training grip will minimize callus formation and be much stronger than you would get when using gloves of any kind.0

My gym does not allow chalk. I have a pair of Bionic gloves as I develop calluses just by looking at weights LOL Seriously, I just have very sensitive skin and will develop them doing simple things like vacuuming and mopping floors. I know it can affect my grip, but at this point it hasn't been a problem with the amount of weights I'm using.0

if you work out at a gym that doesn't allow chalk, and changing gyms isn't an option, they make "dry hands" stuff (designed for pole dancers, interestingly) that is a good substitute.0

I was actually going to post a similar topic. I work out at home, in the lounge room , so no chalk . I ended up with some calluases yesterday and they were a little worse than normal. I am going to check my grip , because one hand is worse than the other. But I work in a food factory and my hands naturally have to be pretty clean. I have to use moisturiser in cooler months, otherwise I up with little foil cuts. Will the moisturiser be a good thing for the calluases ? Or in my case should I get cloves? The calluases themselves don't bother me, I just don't want broken skin on my hands.0

For those that don't want chalk residue, look up eco chalk. It doesn't have the residue.
