I need something for heavy weight lifting at the gym. I am female and have CTS in both hands and was wondering if I could use this. Anyone???

Definitely not during your work out. I wore mine at work and at night, but I'm not a weight lifter. I'M NOT EVEN SURE IT WORKS !

I see no reason why you couldn't. It doesn't restrict movement at all, that's one of the things I love about it.

This stuff is awesome. I suffer from nerve damage and as a result I don't have very good grip in my left hand. I spray just a small amount on my hand and it greatly improves my grip when weight training. This product is very hard to find sometimes but one can will last a while. Good luck

If you are just doing cardio kickboxing type stuff, it doesn't really matter because you won't actually be hitting with any power anyway. If you plan on learning to actually box, get another glove as this one does not offer the wrist support needed and you will injure yourself. It happened to me and one other person in our gym. I suggest looking at some Title hook and loop gloves if you want a real boxing glove and not crap that is sold to people who don't know any better.

I'm a child of CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) so my neighbor initiallyset it for me. I haven't had any problems with it so far. I'm sorry I don't have ananswer for you. Good Luck.

I wouldn't particularly use them for that purpose. They provide great wrist support for lifting, but no support or padding for the hands and striking.

I'd say my arms are mid-size and there's enough slack on the band that I don't think I would have a problem using it while lifting. However, if you have larger arms, the band might not be long enough to allow full flex. It looks like the band can extend out to about 15" circumference.

My husband works out everday but can no longer lift heavy weights due to his elbow pain. I was wondering if this product would hurt his elbow as much as the free weights do. I think he ahs tennis elbow is what they call it (he is also an avid golfer). He has toned arms but wants them to be bigger. Is this the right product, or is this simply for tonig?Thanks for any suggestions.

I am a Crossfitter and that's exactly what I use them for. No need to chalk up 10 times and my girlfriend appreciates a guy without callouses and blood all over his hands. I have been purchasing 2 pair/year for the last 3 years, I hope they don't ever stop making these. And the full finger just makes all of the difference in grip to me. Just my humble opinion here. Good luck!

Yes, women can also use it. I am underweight and am attempting to build muscle and use this for a little weight. The common misconception is women cannot because they may build muscles like a man or in a less feminine way, but that is not true. Just make sure to do normal exercise with it! Hope this helps!

I would not use this sleeve for weight lifting. I do weight lifting and you need a lot more support than this offers. This sleeve is more decorative than anything else. Look the reviews ... a lot of them are from parents who bought it for their high school student kids. I have gone over to Tommy Copper sleeves.

I've only used for tennis and doing exercises with 1-5 lb weights in ladies exercise class so I have no idea if it would be adequate for the training you describe. I did mention in my review that I think the support would be significantly increased if these were available in a longer length. 4-5 inches longer would be great. I do like that the palm is left uncovered for gripping.

it does for a co worker of mine, its the only way he can do pushups. I like this because its portable, and your adjust in mid extension if you feel discomfort. But I would test out the wrist pain issue with a couple regular dumbbells at the gym first, that way you dont spend the money if you dont have to. But it does allow your wrists to stay straight during all movement. You could always wrap your wrists too like a boxer for added support during it.

I think it could benefit men or women. Men would probably want a heavier kettlebell since typically they have greater upper body strength.

i use a palm grip works wonderful for me, its got a nice curve to it. I have smaller hands as im female, i'm not sure if that makes a difference

seems you are doing quite well with the blue ones. the orange ones would be a great fit. the most important thing is not enclosing the the grips. of course that would help. the most important thing is to keep it under control and keeping it balanced with the weights that you use. I use the orange ones for dumbbells as they are easier to control.

I have notice some moisture build up if I use it after a work out, I hate that it doesn't come with the clip and having to hold it by the strap makes it hard to lift weights or do anything while holding it.I'm waiting for marware brand to come up with a model with a clip, it has been my favorite brand for the past 10 years.I mainly use mine for the gym. Hope this info helps you .

Try this: Go to a pull up bar and try to hang from one hand (DON'T just let your weight drop on your hand entirely, place the weight of your body on just one arm but keep your feet on the floor, then slowly remove your feet if you feel you can) are you able to hang on for a few seconds with ONE hand? then yes you can start with the trainer. If you cannot, go lighter. See how long you can hang with both arms, it should be at least 25-30 seconds before messing with the trainer. I went for the trainer even though I have been doing pull ups/chin ups and such for a few years, and I wasn't able to close it at first. I used a cheaper grip instrument as a warm up then would try to close the trainer in sets of 1 to 5 reps. I also did some static holds. Now I can close it 5 times with my right hand (dominant) and 3 times with my left hand. This is after about a month of training. I don't think I'd suggest getting the guide, get the trainer and also a cheaper gripper, the guide is too expensive and you'll outgrow it really fast. I mean, you can use it for a warm up for a while, and then you can gift it or sell it to a novice trainee - I'm just saying I wouldn't. I plan to give my trainer to my son someday! I'm sure it'll last that long (don't have a kid yet) Good luck!
