Can I just use these for regular weightlifting? And if so, are they any good?

Yes, you can. However, I do not keep them on for too long because they tend to squeeze around my the mid-section of my hand. I had purchased two sizes. The extra small was entirely too tight, but the small was a better fit. So whatever size you are just make sure to get a size up. I honestly forget them a lot and have gotten used to the callouses. But, when I use them, they are functional and cool looking. Hope this helps.

I am partially paralyzed and use these to build up strength with leg exercises. They're kind of 'poofy' but you CAN cinch them pretty tightly with the velcro straps so they dont slide up and down. They're larger and bulkier than ankle weights which are a pre-set weight though. I think for running or walking I'd prefer something a bit more sleek. These are perfect for my stationary exercises, but I don't think I'd choose them for running.Just my personal preference. Hope this helps!

I use them for strength training on my squat/dead days and they work great. They are a level 1, so it's gives light support, but it's mainly for mild compression and joint warmth to help with blood flow. I don't have any joint issues though, so these level 1 sleeves work for me.

Yes, you could use them. They are nice weights and could be used by either male or female.

I can't say for sure but I think they would be okay for that. My problem was with gripping the weights and the fingers stretching out that the material bunched up at the ends of the fingers.

I'm doing Insanity Max:30 on these right now and they're perfect. P90X would be good on them too. They're super heavy duty and don't move at all while doing plyo workouts unlike the foam mats.

As mentioned by Hridoy, the headphone design would preclude you from weight lifting while lying on your back. Otherwise, as long as you have a good snug fit, these would be great for working out - I've found them to be sweat resistant.

Definitely, I use them at the Gym, for an extra tight workout... Thanks, Noe

I am a powerlifter so only use them for deadlifts. They seem good. No sock is invincible, if you are going to constantly scrape a sock against a bar or a rope they will eventually break down. But better a $10-15 sock then your shin.

I cannot answer that, as I am not familiar with weightlifting shoes. These are simply correcting heel lifts.

I would not use for free weights you sink to far into them like deadlifts and stuff , I would use just to put under cardio or free weight machines

I used these for heavy lifting sessions and they stay in place for me just fine. They stay in while deadlifting, squats, box jumps etc... I'm not a runner but I think they will be fine.

They'll probably cause some joint pain and muscle soreness for a few days after use the first couple weeks. After that, if you have problems you may want to use them less, which has solved practically all the issues I have had. Even if you lift heavy weights, like I do, you have to remember that you have not specifically trained your grip before. You have to build up to it.

Anyone else tried hoist? I think I am going to buy them, they seem like the best choice for p90x, thoughts?

Gina, you can definitely use these to lift. I do. But if you aren't doing any boxing, I wouldn't recommend getting these simply because of the cost. If you are boxing, then definitely get these. It saves time not having to change gloves!

They have very good padding however they are not hardcore gloves for lifting heavy weights all time so if you are not heavy duty lifter they protect you against callous . Overall awesome gloves.
