Title: weight lifting gloves (for heavier weights) recommendations
Post by: ghettoracer on January 09, 2011, 06:51:36 am
can someone recommend the type of glove i should get?  photos would be helpful.  as the weights gets heavier the weak link is my grip.  holds true for DL's and heavier db for walking lunges (high rep count @ 50+ lbs each hand)...  i've seen gloves with stapes attached to it, and google results shows this http://www.newgrip.com/ is that any good.  factual product feedback much appreciated!  thanks.

And you think that the gloves will resolve the problem, right?

Straps or chalk and learn to hold the bar properly. If you're grip is an issue on relatively light deadlifts (ie under 2xBW) you're likely gripping the bar too close to the palms.

If you can't get the weight without gloves or straps, you can't get the weight.

Yeah, gloves aren't going to fix your problem. Use chalk regularly, and squeeze the shit out of the bar when you're lifting.

Don't be this guy.
