I need some help from DISers who work out or weightlift

[LindsayDunn228]

My personal trainer let me use a pair of gloves I absolutely loved last time I worked out. I was wearing fingerless (think 80s Madonna) gloves already. These you attach at your wrist with Velcro and a covered "hook" comes up the palm of your hand. You use it to help you grip. Like when you pick up a dumbell, you can actually use the hook to hold it instead of your fingers. It really helps you do the weight training without your wrists and/or fingers cramping, like mine do.

I have looked everywhere for a pair of these and haven't been able to find them. Could someone please tell me what exactly these are called so I can check on Amazon.com or somewhere please??

Thanks!

Bless you!!!! Thank you so much, those are what I'm looking for! Do you happen to know why they are so hard to find?

You're welcome. I'm not sure why they are hard to find. I just did a quick Google search and found them right away. They might be considered a special order item so gyms or stores won't carry them in stock. Just a guess.

I have found those at GI Joes stores so I didnt have to order them online. You can also try sailing gloves although they dont have the padding they do have the leather grip.

Wow! You must be handling some serious weights! The only guys that I see wearing those gloves are the monsters in the free weight rooms who also wear kidney belts and power lift.

I don't think that you have to order them online. I've seen those gloves at our local Sports Authority, so they must have them at one near you as well.
