Is it hard on the hands/wrists? Would fitness gloves with wrist wrap help?

Actually, it was ergonomically designed well on hands and great for hands compared to regular wheel abs.

If you really have sensitive wrists, you could give a chance to the gloves, otherwise I don't think you will have any issues with it. I don't find it hard on the hands/wrists whatsoever.

I use it on my rug for more resistance and do not feel any stress on my hands nor wrists.

I do have a little trouble with my hands so I do think the fitness gloves would be a big help. I have problems with one of my knees so I kneel on a pillow. The extra cushion helps.

Not hard on hands or wrists, even though I have arthritis.... Hard on your back if your abs aren't already strong!!

I have an average size wrist and although its kind of bulky it does wrap securely, it stays in place. I primarily got these for just above my knee area so I needed them to have a further reach. Also keep in mind that amazon only sends one of these unless it specifies that the price comes with two. When I ordered the 3 pound ones I didn't notice it and I had to re-order the 2nd one and wait for it to come in the mail. Hope this info has helped.

Leah these gloves are great support if your just using for light work but for the work your talking about I would get yourself a wrist brace or I also use gloves called thermoskin they are arthritis gloves with a strap around the wrist for added support you can find them on amazon I hope this helps you out have a great day

I would try w/of first and see. You can always wrap if your hands are sore. I really don't know for sure. Hope this helps

I use the bottom part of my palm, next to my wrist, to push the pad that locks it in place, then it just has to be folded up while pushing, I use my fingertips to pull up on it. It is not hard. I have some arthritis in my hands, but not debilitating arthritis. It does not bother my hands at all.

I don't feel that they slip much and they don't cover a substantial part of your wrist, so I would think it should work. I love these gloves! I want to get some heavier ones now.

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).

Ruben, they certainly have the potential to reduce wrist pain -- in using these such bars, the weight will be on your forearms as opposed to your hands. Make sure, too, that your saddle is properly adjusted -- ideally, your bodyweight will be distributed between your hands/arms, your saddle, and your feet. If your saddle is too high (or is angled forward), it may be that too much of your bodyweight is pressing into your hands. If you are buying these solely because of wrist pain, they very well may help -- but I personally would first make sure that your saddle is adjusted correctly :)

I have the same wraps and the same exact bag. The answer is yes, but ensure you are using good punching form and not for extended periods. After a while or after successive days your knuckles do feel the beating. These wraps are great and highly recommended - they are lightweight, offer good wrist support, and mobility but for really intense or extended heavy bag sessions you will want to consider real bag gloves. This is my plan and I am going to purchase bag gloves for this reason in the near future. Happy training!

It has a soft splint, like a hard foam. It will protect you from twisting and spraining your wrist but is not strong enough to prevent collision damage like the hard shell on the palm

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...

If your hands are smaller then size small, I recommend just wraps you can wrap your hands with a silicone knuckle cover if you need added protection.

That's funny, Anna... I wouldn't know, but that's a good way to put it! My hands and wrists are very weak now so I would probably have to do it the same way you are. Ask someone with big strong hands to try it and let us know.

I'm 260 lbs. Your weight will not factor too much into your hands unless you have puggie hands. I have the Larger size. They are just a bit tight, but I'm still breaking them in. I like them. But already I've had one gym tell me they'd rather I use traditional hand wraps. But they're great if you normally get taped.

I've owned mine for a few months now and use it doing total body workout. My wrists are small and it moves a bit but otherwise no problem.

The gloves will not slip because you velcor them around your wrist. If your HRM has to be worn at a specific place on the wrist it my be uncomfortable to place it under the Velcro since it's tight around the arm.

i tried on the gloves and gripped a metal bar instead of doing pull-up. Found that it is pretty easy to turn my wrist in/out. The material on the palm area is cushioned but not rubbery. I think it is good for dumbell lifting and benchpresses, but not ideal for pull-ups.
