Should I use these Everlast Pro Style Grappling Gloves to do my heavy bag workouts?

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 would say yes. Way better than using true boxing gloves and they still give you protection while working out.

Yes. These gloves would be good for a heavy bag workout. Not particularly heavy gloves, but you should be able to wail on that bag as fast and hard as you want.

16 oz is good if you are a beginner, plan to do a lot of heavy bag punching or otherwise want more protection for your hands. The lighter ones like 12oz, 14oz etc are also good but offer less protection to your hands and specially the knuckles...with the lighter gloves, my hands would end up being a bit sore at the end of the workout session. Got myself the 16 oz recently and that problem has gone away.

I think these Gel-Hand Wraps are more for Boxing/Muay Thai/Kick Boxing...Not sure if they'll fit inside MMA gloves. I've tried these inside Everlast Protec 12 Oz (Large) and Hayabusa Tokushu 16 Oz...they suit me fine so far for both of the boxing gloves i mentioned. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't. They provide some wrist support, but I think you are risking some damage if you aren't wrapped up, and properly padded. I like these for getting a good cardiovascular workout on the bag. They are so much easier to put on by yourself, that they are great for that type of exercise.

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 LARGE is your best bet. Its better to have it a little big (if that is the case) than a little small. Too small will rip out the seams quickly. Most of the stress on the gloves is doing Bicep Curls . If my gloves were smaller Im sure I would have all ready rip them.

You can! However, I ran into the problem with wrist support with these. The gloves themselves were extremely snug (a size smaller wouldn't have fit at all) but the wrist wrap was still extremely loose. There's only a small amount of velcro and it's not a one size fits all kinda deal. So I wouldn't recommend them. I ended up paying a little extra money for the Everlast gel wraps and they're amazing for just hitting the bag and as a "wrap replacement" under the gloves. If you're doing small sessions they're perfect, for heavy hitting you want the support of a full wrap, that's why we still use em because nothing beats it lol. Hope this helps!

They might be a little big , after a couple of washes some of the material was fraying. I switched and now use Meister Gel-Padded ProWrap Hand Wrap Gloves ( cheaper and alot better fit and good padding and easier to wrap/take off. I also use Adidas Super Inner Gloves ( which I found on title boxing's website) both are great alternatives to traditional hand wraps for use with aerobic kick boxing and boxing .

I'm not a good example for wraps as I don't really wear them (and I injured myself once or twice), But, I would wear wraps for heavy bag use or serious sparing. Like the other gloves out there, Alone, The integrated wrist wrap does not provide enough support for extensive pounding (in my case, for hooks).

i Have big hands and the medium are not too small. Buy the same size as youre gloves. but remember that they hurt when you lift heavy weights

I would recommend using wraps. My knuckles can definitely feel the difference. But I'm a beginner. Perhaps my knuckles aren't in prime boxing shape yet.

I think, if anything, it would give a better result. The Fat Gripz that people attach to dumbbell bars make the bar thicker, and dramatically alter the way the bar works the forearm. So gloves (or wrapping them in tape) would make the bars thicker and probably harder to work.Currently I'm using the ProHands gripmaster...and its too weak, I found one of these at the nearest used sporting goods store, along with a pair of Fat Gripz...unfortunately this is too strong.

Yes i have been i several fights while wearing them. They dont interfere with grappling. They protect your hands from teeth and other sharp things. They transfet alot of energy into the punch as well.

Absolutely. This is what my daughter ususally uses them for, and they hold up very well. There is a caveat though. If the outer surface of the bag is really rough, you will need to cover the area you're striking on, or you may end up marring the surface of the gloves. As my daughter's bag is fairly smooth, I've seen no marks on the gloves besides normal wear.

Hi thereYes great grip. You can't go wrong with Harbingers gloves. I've been using them for years, same pair still in good condition and I recently bought 2 pairs from Amazon for my partner and he absolutely loves them as he lifts heavy weights.Cheers, Nancy

yes, and i have big hands. remember they are not powdered. powdered gloves would be easier

I would use regular boxing gloves with a wrap for that, don't feel these would be protective enough
