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.

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

I haven't used it in the gym. they are a bit heavy though - you might want to take that into consideration when using them at the gym.

sure, but i wouldn't use them for that. They probably won't last you very long if you do any serious lifting. Plus, you usually want to have the fingertips cut off for lifting to offer more breathability. Personally, i use Harbinger wrist wrap gloves for lifting (about $20), which last me several years, and have the added bonus of the wrist wrap to support the wrist when lifting really heavy weights.

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.

I occasionally use these to work out. They are decent if you want to use them for weight lifting or something else where you aren't moving very fast. I run in them occasionally but they do fall out a lot once I start to sweat.

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!

Yes and yes. I have been using the same pair for my workouts for about 2 years now without any damage. They work just as well as the first day I bought them. I'd give them a 10 in terms of durability, a 10 for their functionality, and a 6.5-7.0 for sound quality (they are for casual listening, not studio monitors).

I think that I would be a miss if I said that they were very strong. I have a back injury so I'm not using them like a regular gym. They are great for my limited use..

Yeah they are good for just about everything, you might want something that goes a little more low range for heavy dubstep, but I do bass heavy stuff all the time on them. You just have to get used to them, they r very clean and flat

These are more for lifting weights so i recommend not, but instead use a wrist band or tape. I breakdance but wrist supports aren't very helpful, its best to just stretch the wrists before doing them.

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.

Utilizing these within your training cycle will increase strength with the same lifts. Rotate using them and not using them, in time you'll be able to lift more in those specific lifts. I found these to be most beneficial with pulling movements.

That is precisely what I use them for, and they have held up quite well. Good luck and happy training :)

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!

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.

Yes they would be great for crossfit training. I started out using them for their support after long bicycle rides; but now I use them for any strenuous activity I do.
