works well, January 5, 2013

I purchased this item to prevent my hands from sliding on the barbells. I am in my mid 30’s and have been training all mylife. My wrists and even fingers have been sore lately after lifting. I figured I would try wrist straps (which have helped) and this product becase I don’t like wearing gloves. The grip pads work well. They don’t slide along the bar and provide a little more stability. If you’re looking for something to protect your hands from calluses this will also do the trick. I do find if my hands do get sweaty they will slide along the pad a little bit. Also, I wouldn’t have minded a little thicker padding. But for the price and the options out there (if you don’t like gloves) I would recommend this product. By Jeff
