Great alternative to gloves, October 10, 2012
Just started using these pads and they work great.
I was trying to find a pair of gym gloves but nothing beats what these pads offer: good price + no sweaty palms inside gloves.
I am using them with a pullup bar that has no padding… perfect!
I highly recommend them.

Great Alternative to Gloves, October 8, 2012
I’ve been lifting for about 10 years now. In the first two years of lifting I couldn’t find a comfortable pair of gloves that wouldn’t tug at the webs between my fingers or make my hands sweat. So I stopped using gloves altogether and got gross calloused hands. That’s unacceptable when in a professional setting where you are shaking peoples’ hands and they can feel the callouses. So I searched for alternatives to gloves and first found grippads, which are poorly constructed and too soft for anybody who’s an avid lifter. About a year ago, I found these Grip Power Pads and my search ended.
These pads are rugged enough to be used almost on a daily basis for nearly a year now, without showing any signs of wear. They are comfortable and provide sufficient cushioning for general training. However, I’ve recently started lifting heavy again (405lb. deadlifts etc.) and find that they don’t provide quite as much cushioning as I need to prevent callousing unless I stack two pads in each hand.
Overall these pads are great and will be just fine once I return to regular training. Four stars (minus one for the lack of padding on heavy lifting days)

Better than gloves., October 8, 2012
The pads are thicker and softer than gloves, and that’s why they are much better for my arms. I really started enjoying my workouts.

I ordered the Grip Power Pads because I wanted to improve my grip due to arthritis in my hands. These are just the right size, easy to use and easy to bring along to a workout. I am very happy with them.

Great product. Great price and very useful. I was looking for gym gloves and realized that this product might be more useful and less annoying to use. I am very happy with my choice.

Not bad!, October 7, 2012
These are not as bad as I thought and it really works wonders! No more callus ! Anyways the reason I gave this a 4 star is the smell it provided. It was a weird smell.

I prefer these to gloves, October 7, 2012
I bought both the soft and foam pads. I’ll start off with the foam pads. I hardly ever use these ones, i find their a little too short for me. They didn’t fit around a lot of the barbells and handles at my gym. I would recommend these to someone who is looking to increase grip strength. The soft pads however I use almost every time at the gym. I dont like to use anything on a lot of my lifts but when im heavy lifting my grip fails before i can finish my set and the soft pads allow me to finish my set.
If are a regular lifter like I am i would recommend you getting a couple pairs of the soft, stiff ones if you are looking to help finish your sets. If you would like to increase grip strength i would recommend you getting the foam ones.

These pads work great. I recently switched from gloves because they were spreading my fingers apart and causing pain throughout my hand. I now use the power pads and they work great. They feel natural and are the closest you can get to being bare handed in terms of control. I pair them with wrist straps and it feels great. I lift weights about 5 days a week for 1-2 hours using a variety of barbells, dumbells, cables, and machines and they work great on everything.
