Designed for premium comfort and security, the Lifting Gloves’ padded leather palm provides complete grip and protection. Featuring a double-loop Velcro strap and breathable mesh material, the gloves enhance support whilst keeping you cool for top performance. Weight lifting gloves relieve pressure placed on your hands when lifting heavy weights. This allows you to move beyond the limitations of your hands. The chest and back muscles on most people can handle much more weight than their naked hands can support. Save them for your heavy pull lifts. Whether you're on team glove or not, hating on other people in the gym for their weight room attire isn't cool, so long as they're minding their own business and not doing anything dangerous. ... You'll never need gloves or straps for heavy press exercises like the bench press.
