how good are these gloves when doing too much pull ups and on protecting my hands from tearing up?

Awesome gloves. I workout 5 days a week and always use them. Pull ups, etc are great with the full finger protection. Surprisingly they provide decent cushion so my hands are never sore.

I like the gloves a lot. However I am a 66 year old female and don't to pull ups.

I use them for weight lifting and weight machines and they provide a lot of padding without being lumpy or awkward. I think they would do the same for pull ups.

I wouldn't recommend them for pull ups as pulling exercises really bothered my hands.

Padding is a bit less with these gloves, but that's probably the case because they are full fingered. However, I think they protect your whole hand very well.

I've bought 4 pairs so far, over the past 2 years. I would recommend them. I tried to buy a different brand and ended up returning them, these were the best for me.

I do a lot of push ups. Like the knuckle push up as it protects my wrist. Can't use these gloves. Padding is insufficient. Good for weights. Good enough anyway. Padding lacks

No, this wouldn't work for palm protection on kipping pull ups. I use this tape to wrap my thumbs when I'm hook gripping on my oly lifts and to wrap my wrists for false grip on muscle ups. I recently purchased the natural grips from rogue to protect my palms, and I'm pretty happy with them. They're a little pricey, but they hold up better than the tape strips you can make yourself.

They're not bad at all. My wife suffers from arthritic hands, and she has no problems. I hope this helps

I like the neoprene gloves that completely cover your hands better for a lot of bag work. I use these on the bag but we don't use the bags all the time in our class. I have to hit gently after too much bag work. They are enough support, I just find after too much bag work my knuckles get a little sore. Also, if you have large hands, order up in size. Not sure if this helps you any...:)

I have had mine for a few years, lifting about 5 days a week and so far have not seen any damage to the gloves. Very durable.

They seem pretty durable, but that's some pretty intense wear. I'm sure they would wear out faster than normal if you were doing that very often. I would worry more about them sliding around when climbing up. They fit well, but with that kind of pull, they might twist on your hand.

I would not recommend this pair of gloves. Elastic band comes across the palm of your hand and hurts when lifting or doing pullups. I would recommend a full pair of workout gloves.

The gloves fit just fine. I do have small hands though. I have had no holes or tearing.

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 have large, thick hands, but the gloves stretch quite a bit. I believe they will also shrink up if you put them in the dryer for a while. They should work fine for someone with small hands.

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

I actually just ordered these to replace the exact Gold's gym wristwrap gloves you speak of; I have a pair of Harbiner stretch back gloves that have been through hell and back and still look new. A few weeks in and the cheap Gold's Gym gloves are already separating at the finger seams. I'll update when I've had a chance to put these Harbinger gloves through their paces.

The knuckles are actually covered somewhat by rubber, which will protect the hands some, and it won't easily break. That said, this glove is not made for punching, so, I wouldn't recommend doing the punching repeatedly as in training with a punching bag wearing these.

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 have fairly large hands and used the large sized gloves. I would say they will fit gloves are kind of a one size fits all especially at this level of training. If you have any trouble you can make up some of the difference with the way you wrap your hands. It really depends on what you are using the gloves. If you are using them just for bag work or mit work they will most likely do fine. I would recommend buying them directly from amazon and if you have any issue later you can send them back. Amazon's return service is great and it really gives me confidence buying from a retailer when I can't necessarily try them on. you could also go to a local sportswear spot and try them on and then buy them here.

wrist wraps are design to limit mobility to the wrist joint. These wraps are substantial and I wouldn't use them for push-ups (flat palm). Perhaps you should get a smaller pair (for sprained wrists, for instance).

If you are not already rough with your hands, then your grip strength doesnt actually matter IMO. you must toughen up your hands. These things are metal and cut in a diamond texture like a weight bar. You should really get a Trainer model if you don't already have somewhat beatup hands. Even if it proves to be easy to compress, you can always slow down the rep to improve effectiveness until you pick up the #1.
