The perfect straps for those who enjoy severe discomfort

In the years I've been lifting whenever I used my wrist straps I would think to myself "Deadlifting heavy iron is enjoyable and all but wouldn't the whole endeavor be more fun if these straps carved deep abrasions into my wrists?" Now that the Harbinger Neoprene Padded Lifting Straps have come into my life I no longer have to wonder about how good lifting can be. My prior wrist straps merely helped me maintain my grip on the barbell. But the inspired designers of the Harbinger Neoprene Padded Lifting Straps have taken lifting to the next level by placing jagged unfinished seams at the very point where the strap is pressed against your outer wrist. Now for days after your workout you have a somatic reminder of how much weight you lifted: the shredded skin on your wrist. Having experienced the sublime pleasure of toiling to raise a barbell as the Harbinger Neoprene Padded Lifting Straps excavated the dermis along my radiocarpal joint I don't think I could ever go back to wrist straps which don't cause me bodily harm.More detail ...

I love these gloves

I bought these gloves because being stationed in Iraq I don't have much to do with my down time other than lift weights. I was looking for something to limit my range of motion in order to alleviate wrist pain. These gloves have done just that and my wrists never hurt. The only draw back I have seen is that the pair I bought were a little tight even though they are the size I normally buy. I lift 6 days a week and I have yet to find any signs that the stitching is deteriorated. I am really enjoying these gloves.More detail ...

Good quality but medium was too small

These gloves are of a good quality though have a strong smell (leather dye I assume). I am using them almost daily and they cusion palms and fingers nicely. The velcro on the back is slightly uncomfortable probably due to the size being too small. I ordered gloves in medium size but they are too small for my relatively small hands. If you think you need medium you probably should order large. I am giving 4 stars for the size issue but the quality and price combination is very good.More detail ...
