How are these gloves for doing things like dead lifts and pullups? Do they help in maintaining a good grip on the bar? Thanks

These aren't really made to increase your grip. They work good with curl bars and dumbells and I have done pull ups with them without much of a problem. You won't GAIN grip with these though

You can hold a good grip. The strap is also very helpful. Like I said in my review the smell of them is a total disadvantage. You literary have to wash them almost every other day. Such an inconvenience!!I would suggest looking at other options.

The gloves work fine for these purposes. The gloves provide a good grip. The real problem with the gloves is the seams. They will tear at the seams in a relatively short period of time. For deadlifts, though, you are far better off with a set of deadlift straps or hooks. They last much longer and work far better than gloves.

Gloves are for pushing movements. You need Deadlift Straps, which you wrapped the bar with for pulling movements. I prefer the ones with a padded wrist wrap

Yes. I've actually used them alot for pullups and deadlifts and they work great.

Any glove designed to assist I'm gripping a heavy weight lift bar should also be good for grip while doing push-ups. It does factor on the floor surface also certain material may be more slick on different surfaces. But I would say yes to answer your question

i am adult male, 200 lbs, average+ , thin hands (not meaty). they fit me fine, small hands could use them . keep in mine that connected to the glove is hand wraps---- is you look carefully you can see they wrap around hand and up to wrist. i love the fast you have glove and wrap all in one. I love them and the price is great!!!!!!!!

Yes excellent gloves. Have ordered 3 pairs. They have each lasted over 6 to 8 months - I use them 6 days a week in gym. Basically only get new ones due to them getting smelly

I wouldn't recommend it. The whole point of these lighter, fingerless gloves is so that they can be used for mixed martial arts, where you may have to grip/grapple with your opponent. I would recommend going for the heaviest boxing gloves that fit you (I wear and would recommend 16 oz gloves, but some some women/smaller people/people with smaller hands will wear 12 or 14 oz gloves). These a) give you more protection and allow you to hit the bag harder without fear of injury and b) give you a better workout. Think of it like wearing a weighted vest while working out-one that protects you as well (they do actually sell weighted hand wraps and even weighted shinguards for kickboxing). If you're interested in actually fighting (which is usually done with smaller gloves), your punches will be that much more powerful/quicker if you train with heavier gloves.

I use them to hold heavy weights, it may rip the inner lining eventually, but they do really help for the heavy weights and not getting your hands raw.

They are not ideal for heavy dead lifts. They will last until you can't stand the smell of the sweat that's soaked in and are great for everything other than heavy Deadlifts. Get something more heavy duty for Deadlifts

I've never used one but I bought mine for rowing my dinghy. They are really nice gloves, I'm really happy with them.

You can use these to lift but I wouldn't recommend it. The palms aren't designed for gripping the gnarled steel of barbells/dumbells and will tear to shreds. I know first hand because I used an old pair for this purpose and within a couple weeks they were unusable as I had completely torn off the rubber support on the palms.

Which new ones are you referring to? I have the gripper ones and they're pretty good, they do provide extra grip but if you don't get them loose enough, they start to dig into the webbing between your thumb and palm. But then if you don't get them tight enough, they could fall off. They're pretty good but I can only speak for the gripper ones

I never really noticed. Why does that matter? You're working out and they feel comfortable and properly cushion your hand. The only thing I've seen is that the edges around the wrist area absorb a little sweat. I use the natural coloured one and would not have noticed this as much with the black gloves but I still like the colour I chose. :)

I primarily use these straps for dead lifts and rows. They work great and allow me to train well beyond my hand strength. I have used them for pull downs, but never chin ups. I would imagine they would work fine as long as the bar is low enough to get them wrapped properly. If you have to jump up to the bar you won't be able to get them on unless you used a stool or chair.

I use these primarily for rig work: pull ups, toes to bar and then kettle bell work, rather than barbell lifting gloves.

I'm sure you CAN, but that isn't what they are designed for. I would recommend getting actual weightlifting gloves with the proper grip for the bar. These are better suited for shadowboxing and kickboxing type workouts.

I think these straps work well for any kind of pulling exercise/movement because of the added grip. I use to use gloves when lifting but I prefer straps by far. Hope this helped

I haven't had that problem, and I don't always use gloves when using the rings, it slides nicely. Of course my hands probably don't sweat as much as some and my use of the rings might be different than yours; I do not use them for gymnastics, I use them for Crossfit. I hope that helps...

I just measured the bar. 1 1/4" OD. I believe most crossfit bars are the same. 1" ID and 1 1/4" OD. I don't have massive hands (glove size 8) and it works well for me. I haven't even had to put medical tape around it for grip. Hope this helps!
