10 Best Weight Lifting Gloves Reviews for 2020

I love these gloves. First off their grip is awesome – weights, machines, I mean I did the Spartan obstacle course race with them. Even on the floor (where some gloves tend to dig into the webbed part of your hands), they work! I usually took my old gloves off for things like mountain climbers. These gloves are breathable, and the little tabs to take them off on the ring and middle fingers are crucial!!! They also look badass, which I appreciate. The customer service at Contraband is phenom – I emailed them when these were out of stock and got an email back within an hour! Christopher French was especially helpful, nice and actually followed up when they were back in stock. All in all I would 100% wholeheartedly recommend!

I bought a size small since my hands are slender, they are a snug fit across the palm but aren’t uncomfortable. The finger sizing is just right, enough wiggle room to accommodate various lifts. The pull tabs make it easy to take them off, that’s a nice feature. These gloves do NOT dye your hands if you sweat in them, which is a huge plus! When choosing a glove I saw many others with users posting “they’re great, but they turn your hands black” pictures. I am happy that these do not dye or stain hands. The textured grip helps me keep control in my lifts and I don’t find myself readjusting them during my workout, which is nice. I feel like I’m ready for combat when I wear these!

This was my 6th purchase of this glove. I have worn a lot of gloves and they all wear out or rip at some point, these are the best and a really excellent value for the price. They have cushioning but not too much I love the finger pulls to take them off, the are soft, go on easy and stay in place while lifting, pushing, gripping, etc. very comfortable. You put on a new pair they are ready to go, never stiff or a break in period. I am in the gym a lot everyday and wear these a lot. Would like to see some neon green for women. Just purchased a 7th pair, someone lifted mine from the gym, anyway they are great!

Excellent gloves. Seams are positioned so as not to put any pressure on fingers or palms when gripping barbells or dumb bells. They broke in nicely and now I hardly even know I am wearing them. Wrist cuff has additional Velcro to prevent slippage or bunching of cuff when using the wrist wrap. I can tighten or loosen the cuff and wrap for more wrist support or less. I tighten the cuff and wrist wrap for curls and they keep my wrist stable. The padding prevents callouses from forming on the palms of my hands. There is no discomfort when the weights rest on the thumb joint. Quite the opposite, the bar rests snuggly in my hand. I use thirty and forty pound dumbbells for decline and incline presses. No slippage, no fear of dropping the weight on my face, no agony in the thumb joint. Perfect. I plan to buy another pair to have when this pair eventually wears out. I also received an email from Steel Sweat, maker of these gloves, ensuring that my product had arrived timely and in good condition. Only the second time a seller has asked me this. The quality of these gloves, the comfortable fit, and their concern that my product arrived tells me this company cares for those of us who buy their products. Excellent all around. Thank you steel sweat. My hands love you.

These are at least the 3rd pair of weightlifting gloves that I’ve bought. The previous 2 were two different brands. The 1st pair were about $20, I liked the look and the fit but they weren’t thick enough. 2nd pair I spent more ($40) believing you get what you pay for, now they were thicker but also felt bulky. This one right here gave me exactly what I was looking for. They are the most affordable, fit better, love the look, and thick enough to protect my hands but thin enough that it’s not too bulky.

I found these gloves to fit perfectly as described for my large hands. They are very comfortable and I am able to leave them on through my entire workout with my hands/wrist getting too sweaty. They are easy to pull off after my workout too. I noticed a previous review about someone stating the padding in the glove made it difficult to get a tight grip but you don’t really want to tight of a grip as this can cause over-gripping and lead to injury. I have found the padding to be just right and it prevents me from over-gripping while still providing me with the grip I need. I would definitely recommend these gloves! I have also been impressed with how well the company has reached out to me to make sure I am fully satisfied with their product. I will be buying more products from them in the near future!

First reason why I love these, is they look bad ass. Much more so than Versa Grips (In my opinion). The name along with the matching shape is genius. The people leaving this product a 1 star review clearly don’t know how to lift or use the product properly. If your going to leave this product a 1 star review saying crap like it wont wrap around the bar….. please post proof. I like these just as much as I like the versa grip, except versa grip’s have a slight smell, which im sure the cobra grip rubber ones do, but I purchased the leather ones which smelled great (Like leather). I typically only use these at home when doing my final set of a workout, when your repping out a 4 plate deadlift for 20 reps, the hands give out first. Rarely when I go to the gym, i’ll bring these to be a nice gym guy and not make a chalky mess. They have handled a 8 plate rack pull no problem, they also fit my 5″6 girlfriend who also is into powerlifting. Shes used them for a 3 plate deadlift.

I am a personal trainer/strength coach with over 20 years experience. I found Cobra grips about 2 years ago and ordered the original black rubber. I found them to be an upgrade to the Versa gripps I had been using. Now I have ordered the leather version of the Cobra grip Pro. Both the leather and rubber versions fit very comfortable, they are the same dimensions and both do an unrivaled job at providing grip to your workouts. After having tried the leather I would say the rubber version makes it easier to lock down and the leather slightly more of a comfy feel because of the suede feel . Anyway both are awesome and like everyone else( many with years of heavy lifting experience) I would highly recommend.

These lifting gloves are a game charger. I’m decently strong but have always had issues with my wrists and hands. No matter how much I lift, my grip just doesn’t seem to be on par, well at least not when it comes to dead-lifts. Perfectly compensate for the lack of grip and truly allow my whole body to work. Sucks when your hands are done but you know you haven’t pushed yourself to the point of growth change. These gloves allow that and can’t wait to see the progress over the next few months.

Hands down the best gloves I’ve stumbled upon to date! Exactly one year after purchasing my first pair I placed an order for a new one, and I’m really hoping they will perform as well as the previous. I lift often and I lift heavy, and yet these gloves survived, although not without paying a price. My only “complain” is that I find the wrist wraps a bit too wide for my liking, but that’s just personal preference and does not reflect the quality, so full 5 stars!

I received these gloves earlier than expected so im pretty excited about that. I purchased a Large size and it was true to fit, there were no stitching problems nor any other issue. I’ve used these gloves and tested them and I can say that they do protect my hands well and having the strap around my wrist is an awesome feature. To give you an idea, im not a beginner nor pro weightlifter, I say im right smack dab in the middle. I’ve put these gloves through rigorous usage with heavy weights as well as intense workouts and no slipping nor damages have been done to these gloves. Ive washed these in the washing machine and dryer and weren’t damaged either so thats a good sign. As a tip if you plan on buying these gloves, when you begin using them for working out, you should let them air out by not having the wraps secured in place and have it open. If not, they will tend to smell just a tad bit, especially when you’re breaking them in. I would definitely recommend these especially for the price, again no product is 100% perfect, if your gloves are damaged out of the bag or something you should just contact the sellers and request an exchange, they’re great at customer service too. Hope this helps ya’ll!

I purchased four pairs of weightlifting gloves at the same time. These are my favorite ones. The “Advanced Grip Gel” and the padded palm really do work. I recently used them to complete a 245 lb “Farmer’s Walk” for 200 yards (not bad for 72 years old). And, “Look Mom,” no blisters. I have tried similar exercises with other gloves with much less effective results. The Evo 2 provide me with a good grip and support with no pain. Great gloves! Thank you!

THUS FAR, I am loving these! I lift heavy 5 days of the week and these are proving to be a quality pair of gloves. In the past, I would purchase whichever pair Wal-Mart had in stock (typically the Gold’s Gym brand) and they would be completely tattered within 2 weeks. Instead of continually wasting money on poorly manufactured gloves, I spent a couple hours researching various brands and reading outside-of-Amazon reviews; these gloves received positive reviews on a variety of Top 10 lists. They offer flexible support for the wrists and the padding is just enough, without being too much. My knuckles swell in the mornings, so taking my wedding ring off each time I weightlift is a inconvenient ordeal; these gloves, however, protect my ring from damage, negating the need to remove it beforehand. I would definitely recommend these!

Awesome Gloves. This is my second pair. The first pair started splitting in the palm at about 3 months of use. I was thinking these gloves are not that great. Well I ignored the split, and it never got worse. I’ve been using them daily for about 2 years and they are still full in tact and functional. I bought a new pair, only because I bought a large the last time, and I should have bought extra large. I will keep the old gloves as a backup. The gloves don’t fall apart, they withstand the rigors of daily lifting, and I love the wrist support. I HIGHLY recommend these gloves.

I bought these Nordic lifting gloves for back day. They are very nice gloves and I was happy until I noticed that the stitching started to come off of one of the fingers. I sent an email to Nordic and they responded the same day. Sent in a pic and they sent me a new set of gloves. They apologized and assured me I received that rare bad apple. Excellent customer service!

These are fantastic weight lifting gloves. Very durable unlike many of the popular brands. Great palm padding and finger support. Also, I’m not sure what the little Velcro strap is for on the back of the hand, but I’ve found it’s the perfect place to secure the thumb ring of my wrist wraps. If this is what it’s intended for, it’s genius. The only issue I’ve had with these (and it’s extremely minor) is that they’re not super easy to take off. I’ve found that it helps to pull the wrist band up on your hand and then pull the fingers. Pull the fingers alone and the gloves will hardly budge, esp. if your hands are sweaty.

Too many Cycling gloves have padding on both sides of the Carpal tunnel area, but not on that area. These gloves have generous padding on either side and directly over the tunnel on the heel of your hand. They also have 2 finger pull tabs on ea. of the two inner fingers for easier removal! They are light, breathable and very comfortable. They barely feel like you are wearing gloves at all. I wear a size 13 wedding ring and the XL is a good fit. I believe the Hi-Viz Green makes them more visible for hand signals in traffic and I can tell by how much space drivers allow me that they are being seen well. Nice Product, GREAT price, fast shipping! What else can you want?

Just love these gloves. Its my second pair I own and I cant express enough how durable & comfortable they are. I workout 5x a week with weight lifting and basic intense workout training and these gloves endure some harsh wear ans tear. I have purchased a lot of cheap ones and none can with stand my workout except these Trideer gloves. No rips or tears, and move very comfortably with your hands. They are made very well, and I will definitely purchase these again.

I was looking for a pair of workout gloves because my old one was a mess and I want to share with you guys my opinion about this particular one. I have them for couple weeks and I’m enjoying them the material is a good quality and the size fits perfect very comfortable and the rubber that’s preventing the dumbbells to slip is amazing I hope is not gonna come out pretty fast in rest I’m 100% satisfied.

They have a pleasant grasp and would most likely work for biking or whatever else that expects you to have the capacity to hang on. The main recommendation is that in case you’re a medium size, arrange a vast. They were marginally on the little size for huge hands.This exercise gloves is light and great and it fits as it ought to be, and there is somewhat grasp on the one side which makes it even great while you are working.

My husband ordered a pair for the both of us and I must say, these gloves are wonderful. I can grip the barbells and weights with no problem. They do not slip and the band around the wrist keeps my wrist feeling comfortable. I have issues with both of my wrists at times and these gloves really helped during my workout. I’ve used them once, and so far so good!! My husband really love these gloves as well. Great buy.

I REALLY like these gloves! They have a comfortable yet secure wrist support and grip, unlike my last gloves, so I use the Chicmoda gloves while I’m building up my strength for pull-ups (on a cold metal bar outside!!) and also to help aid my grip with my dumbbells! Also…this may seem like a small thing but on our wood floor, it seems there are often random tiny rocks…my workouts don’t need any surprise pain points! These gloves are definitely going to keep me happy! I love the sleek looking blue/grey colors! They’d be great for helping someone move too!

I’m in love with this product I go to the gym 5 days a week and I do a lot of heavy weight lifting these have a padding that protects you’re hands. They are very comfortable to wear and the adjustable strap is great once you put them on there is no need to re adjust them. I been working out for 10 years and by far these are the best weight lifting gloves I have try so far and for the price you cannot go wrong. I’m definitely trying more products from this company.

I was looking for a reasonably priced lifting glove that would offer me good support for my wrist as I’ve been having weakness in them. A lot of gloves were either really ‘girly’ pink colors or straight boring black. This glove offered me everything I was looking for. I wanted a stylish looking glove that would go with whatever color I wear to the gym & yet offer me a lot of wrist support. I took a series of pics so you can see the length of the wrist wrap. I have smaller wrists, so it wraps 1 1/2 times around mine. The rubber ‘nobbies’ in the palm make for a good gripping surface & I like the extra padding in the palms. The only drawback I see is that the wrist strap is stretching out a little bit already because I like to wrap my wrists tight. Don’t know if that will eventually become a problem, but for now I am VERY happy with these gloves’ quality, style & fit!! Would definitely recommend them!!

Ok, had to sit and write this. After my initial review of 5 stars (love these) The wrist wrap started to separate from the Velcro just a little on one of the gloves. I did really like the gloves but couldn’t really use them anymore. After mentioning this in the initial review the seller was kind enough to send another pair out no questions asked. The seller mentioned that they had not had any issues with the wrap tearing. I am happy to say that this pair has not had the same issue and all is well. I would definitely buy from this seller again. Fit Active Sports.

Great gloves! I bought them because they looked well-ventilated, but I was skeptical at first since the finger portions look attached and would limit movement, and the hand pad looks like a panda paw, but these gloves are AWESOME! Finger movement isn’t bad; you can operate your phone, swap pins in machines, etc. The panda paw is super-helpful – well padded for comfort during dips and such, and a SUPERIOR grip on bars and bells. I don’t lift THAT heavy, but I can see how the wrist straps help. They help support the grip so you can concentrate on form and isolate muscles better. That’s a benefit I didn’t even know I needed. I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend to anyone who wants serious gloves for the gym.

They remind me of grips I wore as a gymnast but covers the entire hand. Very comfortable. The only time I take them off is if I put a TRX move in my routine where my hands are on the ground because the web between my fingers gets a little annoying. But I’ve also worn them through those exercises and just pushed through and was fine. These are really great because your hands don’t get hot and it protects your hands and helps your grip for things like pull-ups. When you put them on, keep your fingers spread. This helps to not get the web to far in between your fingers. Definitely recommend these gloves.

VERY well made lifting gloves. The quality of the grip, velcro and mesh is all extremely durable. The colors are vibrant, fun and unique. I have 3 or 4 other sets of lifting gloves and these are by far the best! I was at the very top of “small” size for the sizing chart and ordered a size small. They fit my hands perfectly. I am sure they will stretch a little bit as I wear them which will be great (they will still fit me well even if they stretch a little).

I’ve recently been confined to wheelchair, most likely permanently&awhile I will have a motorized eventually, I like manual so easier to keep muscle tone. But you really have to have a GOOD pair of gloves when using manual as palms of hands get very sore. THESE ARE IT! This is at least the 5th& definitely last. Search is over. These are constructed very well , the Palm cushioning is good enough to prevent all the soreness that usually comes after long time in going around in chair.. It also still looks nice,I wish I could afford couple extra pair so could rotate use, but these are well constructed’ durable and am sure will be around for longtime. I hope I can find these again when time comes. Great colors! Want a pair in every one! Thanks for ending my search for a durable yet also nice looking product!

I’ve been using these gloves for about a week now and so far I love them. My last pair of gloves had the wrist strap attached and they were uncomfortable for anything but lifting heavy weights. I didn’t have too many expectations for these, but I’m so happy I got them. I’ve been using them to lift weights, slam balls, pull ups even jump rope and they are so comfortable I forget I even have them on. I got them in a small, since I’m used to gloves stretching after a few uses, so far these are great. They are a perfect fit. I had read some previous reviews about the color bleeding, but I haven’t had that issue, (I have the black/turqoise color). Seriously considering getting the pink pair next.

You what up Stig granted Carter a lot of people ask me yo uh yo granny mentioned I wear gloves in that mess so I wear gloves on that when I work out that’s a touchy subject man I think honestly the hardest part about wearing gloves is finding the matching handbag now this mess with you known as that’s what y’all miss kid if you were to love this cool man I know a lot of you wear gloves I used to wear those when I first started working out my first time I wore gloves but I would forget them sometimes and then my hands would hurt when I had to work out without them because you know because my hand because the gloves kept my hands on nice and soft you know hand look the gloves kept my hands nice and smooth so like when I will grab the weight oh it hurt a little bit you know but then I thought you know what maybe I need to toughen the fuck up I started grabbing the waist without gloves man I just got used to it then I built calluses on my hands man I’ll put this in action nobody wants to step board like me your hands should look like it doesn’t have to be a real man but it could be like this just a little bit and you know what else happened my grip strength got stronger because gloves do a lot of the cooking for you you names in so when you die using gloves your grip strength increases a lot like anybody who’s using gloves right now just try to try to work out without gloves once you will see that you can’t lift as much because your grip strength not isn’t strong and your hands are not tough enough it’s gonna hurt try it tomorrow take your gloves off and try to try to work out without gloves you’ll see that you can not lift as much you can still build muscle mass with gloves right but your grip strength your grip strength just suffers and I don’t want to be the kind of guy who’s only strong with gloves on you know saying like to me working out lifting weights not just about aesthetics I mean it’s that – don’t get me wrong it’s that – but it’s more about function like I want to be a strong love fucking you know I want to I want to really be able to utilize the strength if need be and God willing I’ll never have to but if I need to children mother fucking comes in or grab a motherfucker you know then I I want to be I want to know that I may have the desired effect and even just in life funny to move something ready to lift them I want to make sure that I have enough power to do it without having to put on so blatantly gloves so basically if you only care about looks or just being strong in the gym then wear gloves man you know say it’s no big deal like I know Ronnie Coleman use gloves you can’t argue his result so you know same play if bodybuilding is about looks like beautiful body goes it is purely about aesthetics you know but if you had to do some shit in life where you need to be strong all the time then I wouldn’t suggest you don’t use so you want to be strong outside the gym wouldn’t be strong without gloves on and a lot of a lot of guys won’t use gloves they’d be like hell I can’t use gloves because when I’m touching the bitches when I’m touching the ladies you know I don’t want to scrape them up and check this out man I got wild calluses on my hands man my shits are as bad as anyone’s and yo all you got to do before you get intimate with that special someone go a little lotion on your hands man it softens the council’s up and then you good money son and a lot of times you don’t even need that like like you know chicks can’t feel that shit only gonna feel it is only going to hurt shit is it that the calluses are dried moisturizer good money men good money don’t even trip and you know chicks always got some lotion so you gotta get some lotion in Miami drug no problem if your hands are moist your eyes the female titty is incapable of detecting the callous tattoo that on your brain if your hands are moisturized the female titty is incapable of detecting the calluses on your hands I will get no complaints man I’ve been doing this shit for a long time man lift the weights in and lifting weights and touching titties yeah I’m saying and I don’t get no complaints son stop making excuses but then again Sonia is just worse than me you gotta find out what works for you okay it’s called personal training because it’s personal you.

Hello my fellow Marines and thank you for tuning in if you’re new to this channel hello my name is Cathy boy a firemen’s channel is a lot of athletic apparel reviews we do some fitness to see how a lot of athletics different forms of fitness all while having a mutual appreciation for dogs and brunch and what I have for you guys specifically today is what to wear weightlifting so I do a lot of reviews on just specific items and tell you what activities they’re for so I thought it’d also be good to take specific activities and tell you my recommendations on what you should wear to them so you can perform your best feel your best and just get into shape well looking great that almost Ryan almost arriving quite for Kelty almost closed throughout the career coming soon I’m just gonna jump right into it and I’m gonna give some recommendations I’m gonna have this kind of just be for like the general population because I think that’s who needs it obviously if you’re pro level weightlifter been doing it for years I think you put two and two together so this is just kind of for my girls who are just starting out maybe dabbled in a little bit maybe to do it on and off and you’re just like what would you recommend now I’ve been weight lifting since I started when I was 14 for sports it was mainly sports performance pace for years I played coach Bassel then I went on to do the fitness thing I do a lot more than weightlifting and I’m not one of those people that just do the weightlifting but it’s a part of my routine so I do have a bit of experience at least of what to wear with it over a decade Wow how did that happen oh so I’m just gonna break it down into the different parts everybody and some accessories and all that and what I’d recommend for you so first we will start with the cliche what pants bottoms I would recommend the way now I’m gonna have a general recommendation and the specific recommendation first thing you want high-waisted now not just for fashion cuz that’s in but you’re gonna be bending over a lot usually to clear these squats things like that when you’re weightlifting and the last thing you want is your butt to follow I would never recommend lower eyes unless they really fit you well so you want a higher rise path or short I personally think you shouldn’t have things that are tight so not like a baggy shirt because I’m really close to your body just so doesn’t get snug in things because there’s different barbells and dumbbells and things you’re moving around different machines and when things are really baby they may actually get caught so I think a slim fit you also don’t want caution no caution because that’s gonna show sweat and the last thing you want is when you’re bending over to have nice little bit of splash just right there that’s just know who doesn’t want that definitely something that is a lot more sweat wicking material you always want to look for that and I personally go under the idea of getting one or two really good pair of leggings or shorts that are maybe black and is your color the wash lot wear a lot versus just getting cheap things and trust me if they don’t feel as good you want something it’s been higher quality personally I would say like the Lululemon or Nike that’s really designed for high performance it’s gonna happen 4-way stretch you can move in every direction so you sweat wicking into it doesn’t show as much sweat and also you just don’t want sweat sitting on your body the entire time that’s how your skin breaks out and we also don’t have time for that so my personal favorite pair of leggings are the lux dream high rise from Lululemon the luxury is going to be a thinner material so it’s breathable it’s kind of smooth its four-way stretch your reveals stretching every way if they are gonna be squaw proof as can be you can stretch these so much and they are not showing nothing when we sweat wicking and it is just a nice pair of pants and you can’t go wrong with this so I’ve reviewed these before you can go check that out but this would be my recommendation or something very similar with this kind of material stay away from JustFab next cotton mix you want to find this a bit of a higher quality in my opinion so at least my favorite as for shorts I’m a big fan of these are a little ratchet because they’ve had some where I’m just a Nike pros they tend to be a bit higher waist the waist up usually gives out after about 40 wares or so but it still falls in my dollar wear so I just find these are good they’re long enough that when you bend over you’re not and fall over other weights I find a lot of spandex are so short that I’d be scared to bend I find these are a good length they’re thin they’re sweat wicking and there’s bazillion different colors into the easy to match so those are usually the cliche ones you’ll see most girls wearing I personally prefer Hispanics obviously you can get bigger shirts but this is what I like or if you’re baking shorts wear these underneath so when you bend over FedEx got you old basketball track so now we’re onto tops first I would recommend just a really supportive sports bra obviously you could be jumping around yordan bending over you once it has a bit of a higher neck because like I said you’ve probably been over at some point if it’s a really low scoop neck last thing you want you want saying support up but I also personally I’m not very big chested so if you’re a really big chesty comment below and let us know but I think I’m medium support is good I know for myself if it’s a really compression feel and I’m weightlifting you’re already like pushing things and movie and then you’re compressing your trip it’s just it’s not comfortable on the flip side you don’t want to light support either you just want something very middle of the ground obviously when you’re doing things like running and sprints and jumping around you want action feel as you can and we’re gonna do this in more stretching and yoga that you can go on the lightest core but I found a medium support is the best two of my favourites are just the cliched naked sports bra this one’s gonna be a bit more on the fordable side these last forever I’ve got a full review on them so you can check them out so this would be my recommendation and then the energy bra from Lululemon this is actually in the new luxe I would recommend in new luxe or lock stream personally would be the bestest as I talked about in the past and I find this is just a classic medium support it’s gonna have criss cross on the back so it’s gonna go under most tank tops and those t-shirts it’s got a modest scoop and it’s just an average sports bra and get a neutral colour and this will go long ways with you and they will help your ladies out no you can just honestly wear this you just go with pair leggings and sports bra but I know that everyone’s comes from all the sports bra you’re gorgeous so you can rock it if you want a rocket but if not I recommend having a t-shirt over top or a tank top you want it sweat wicking in my opinion of course you if you want to show sweat that’s fine the one recommendation I would always have to is you wanted a bit tight fitting if you go look at weight lifters power lifters like people who are pro level they literally wear body suits and that’s just things don’t bend over and get caught I know my comfortable wearing tight fitted things but that is my recommendation personally that I find would be the best just pure performance why so a tight fitting sweat wicking tank top t-shirt or long sleeve like a swiftly tank kind of thing from Lululemon I think it’s a great mix the one thing about weight lifting is because it’s not cardio based you’re not always warmed up and if you don’t do a proper warm-up you can be stiff you can be cold and you don’t want to weight lift when you’re stiff or cold so sometimes this you in the winter months start with a jacket or a sweater or something over top and then take it off once you’ve warmed up you just don’t want to be doing it when you’re cold so having a sweat wicking long sleeve personally I prefer a zipper and the reason is if your girls sometimes you do your hair you got to keep pony unless you want to do is have to like take off the sweater you’re scrambling and life is just in shambles if you reckon your hair and so if you just have a nice zip up the define jacket from Lululemon is one of my favorites it’s the same material and luxe dream it’s gonna have that stretch for way it looks quite professional which is kind of nice for just a pair of loops and you can just dip it right off so it’s easy but then some people do like that like hoodie be real comfortable and some people just workout in a hoodie their entire workout so that really comes down to how much you want to sweat in your clothing the defined jacket from Lululemon is my go-to now we’re gonna talk about shoes we could do a whole video series on weight lifting and chutes it’s really kind of debated about and there’s a lot of information but I’m just gonna talk about like the just general consensus so Charles just I’m just giving general information don’t itty gritty a little fun back to my way they did in terms of if you’re just wanna be like a power lifter something like that like Olympic lifting you want a flat bottom now these aren’t perfect ones these are just the only flat bottom shoes I have and I’ll get into why I only have them but that’s ideally what you want because you want it flat against the ground because in essence you’re transferring force one weight lifting so you don’t want it absorbed you want to be able to push off the ground and use that force to push the weight up so I’m going to make a Nike Free does the complete opposite and the the bottom tries to absorb the impact so that takes away from your joints that’s right or something like running because it’s gonna absorb every time you run so think this stays on the ground if you’re pushing off versus run you choose you’re doing this so you’re trying to protect your knees I hope that was a good explanation I try to make it as simple as possible there’s adidas adiPure probably like the most cliche higher performance but they’re really expensive ones they have the flat bottom they’re actually hard these aren’t hard they have a bit more question knee that’s why I’m saying they absorb or you can even just converse that’s kind of the cliché old-school they’re only about $40 like old school converse shoes a lot of weight lifters wear that to have that flat bottom and then there’s a whole debate you’re scared barefoot but I’m just not a fan of barefoot in Joe’s personally so they’re on the no judgment so that is what I would recommend if you are really serious with what weight lifting specifically but for my general people who are just gonna do it a couple times a week I do like the Nike freeze my rationale behind it is it’s just they’re really diverse any kind of running shoe like this I think they’re cute you can run with them and usually people who aren’t strictly weight lifters are going to be doing other forms of activities in the gym you might be running you might be doing cardio might be doing hits you’d be jumping all those things that’s kind of nice to have a universal shoe and I find these really comfy they transfer over and no technically yeah your force isn’t gonna be as much but the five pound difference over the course of a few years is probably not going to matter if you can lift that much more to the general population so I say get a shoe if you only have enough money for once you get a that’s really Universal and I just have always liked the mickey fries I look I find they’re comfy I find they last there is the idea kind of behind them is that and why they’re called free is because they’re able to bend because we wear shoes so often we don’t actually get to utilize all the muscles and their feet they did some research in Africa and found marathon runners who run barefoot have muscles that we don’t even have really north because our shoes modesto nike fries kind of originated that idea of a barefoot runner so that’s kind of idea well they still have some support to them so these are just my personal favorite I know some people do like the adidas MMD’s as well and they’re kind of nice in between of the adidas Eddie power and they can make you free I just don’t like them because I hate running in this flat bottom I feel crazy and I want shoes that I can go wait left for a few sets and then go run on treadmill so that is why I personally choose Nick fries now we’re going to go into a bit of an accessories obviously just I’m just gonna say I have a water ball stay hydrated you don’t want to cramp up you don’t want to be dehydrated during your workouts so get a cute water bottle because if I don’t know I just like having a cute white ball so then you can like clean your spot when you’re weightlifting because that’s kind of the universal rule there’s a water bottle on that piece of machinery it’s yours so I like my swell bottle fits a hole leader keeps things cold or warm I don’t know why you have a hot drink at the gym but that’s just my go-to so what about you stay hydrated kids ponytail and headband because you don’t want to wear your hair down same as you don’t wanna have baby clothes because you don’t want to get it caught and it’s kind of the standing joke just gonna let you on if you’re the girl with your hair down out of the gym do whatever you want if you feel gorgeous do it but I’m just saying there will be people that you would be like who’s this girl trying to impress oh my god I never go because people are like that so I’m just warning you ponytail get your hair back there’s a bunch of cute styles I’m not a beauty vlogger but if you youtube cute ponytails people got you then okay gloves you’ll see some girls wearing weightlifting gloves person actually just skip that unless you’re someone who really doesn’t want calloused hands or that it just hurts so much but I’m just going to be warning the first few times you weight lifts and you hold the barbells and dumbbells it will kind of scratch your hands and they’ll feel weak it does go away your hands do callus a bit yes I do have calluses on my hand but you know see like I said teach your own it just depends on you I personally they’re just really annoying I don’t like them I want their face when I wore them but I found it’s just better just tough it out for like two weeks and then your hands get used to it yes but if you found it’s just too unbearable there is the weightlifting gloves you can use that also carries in the strap sometimes people see people use straps in their hands or something or weightlifting belts my personal opinion is just skip it if you’re just trying to work out to look a little bit better get in better shape improve sports performance all those don’t rely on belts and anything because it just inhibits your progression yes you can lift more but that’s because you’re using a belt same with weightlifting belt we can go in a normal video with that but in my personal opinion is unless you’re doing it for competition why does it matter if you’re the 15 35 versus 40 it doesn’t really matter it’s better just progress naturally and not use the straps and worry about better form so I’d say skip the weightlifting belt and straps unless you’re a power lifter and you’re lifting really heavy weight and it could be dangerous but it’s better to just strengthen the muscles at the lower weight and then my last recommendation for accessories is wireless headphones they make the world of difference of course there’s so many different options now but trust me when I say having the little strap of your headphone is so annoying when your way that’s gonna make bending over the amount of time I’ve gotten like a dumbbell stuck in it or in the machine and it like Yanks it out is just probably every single time I go to the gym because I broke my rounds headphones and so I did suffer it real bad if you’ve got the money for it or you get some cheap knockoffs of Amazon get your parrot self a pair of wireless headphones and it will make your workout so much easier and less stressful consume there’s nothing probably more stressful in life then headphone wires there either jam all together you’re trying to get them on down there caught in things and they’re just out here to realize so wireless headphones that should be a thing o university team wireless headphones and that is my recommendations of what to wear weightlifting if you guys are away the stairs if you even just getting started or if you’re
