Workout Leather Amazon No Barehand — Whatever you do in the gym for your workout, a pair of leather workout gloves are ideal.  To workout barehand without gloves or grips is definitely an option, but then you run the risk of developing calluses or dry skin.  If you are doing a back workout and a lat pushdown or pull down, you will find that grabbing the weight or bar with some sort of hand protection can ease hand fatigue.  When you are browsing customer reviews on Amazon or eBay, keep an eye out for reviews that explain actual exercises or a workout that the individual has done.

Workout Gloves Leather Amazon No Barehand

As a personal trainer, clients often ask me for gym or workout glove recommendations.  The first question I ask them (if I do not already know the answer) is what they intend to use them for.   If it is someone who does Crossfit workouts regularly then I know that they need a gripad or glove that that is multi-functional.  You can get GymPaws gym pads on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/shops/gympaws and of course right here on the website where you can use your Amazon account to check out or Paypal or a credit card.

When you hit your weightlifting routine or Crossfit workout barehand without gloves you may think that those calluses are a hard earned badge of honor.  The reality is that calluses are your body’s natural response to excessive friction and pressure.  Gym pads or grip pads that have too much cushion or padding kind of defeat the purpose.  While it may feel better to grab the weightlifting bar with a big cushy grip, it lessens your natural tactile sensations.  This can cause you to torque your grip and hurt or wrist.

If pull ups or bodyweight exercises are more your thing, you will appreciate these as well because they are designed to sit in the palm of your hands and not inhibit movement.  I go from my pull ups (as lat pull down) straight into my push ups and never worry about having to take my gloves off and on.
