Meister Elite Leather Weight Lifting Grips w/Gel Padding (Pair)

I used the measuring chart provided, but still had to return them for a size up to the Large/X Large. They were a bit small on my husband who tried them on. They are most comfortable when the padding fully or almost fully surrounds the wrist. So, perhaps for a man with larger wrists there is no size up to go to. These fit my 'large for a girl' (6 3/4") sized wrists perfectly.LOVE them! No more hurting hands or wrists from lifting heavy. I keep them on during the entire workout and just turn them around so the hook portion is away from the palm side of my hand, for drinking water or floor work. Then before grabbing a bar, I turn them around and am able to quickly release the velcro strap and tighten for lifting.It takes a bit of trial and error to find just the right tightness and position on the wrist. Once you do, your good to go. The edge of the inner protective (and comfy) foam gets caught when turning them around. But I've learned to put my index finger under the foam to keep it from folding under at the edge during the turn.I wouldn't share them, like with a workout partner, because they develop a nice curve to your wrist making then settle easily in place. Sharing them, the other person might have different shaped wrists, and that would make them not as easy to settle into just the right place on your wrist. Besides, with all the sweat, that's just icky.They look like they'll last a long time, but I'm getting another set anyway. That way I'll be brave enough to try washing them. One pair clean, one pair drying.

After 4 months of use, the metal parts of the adjustable Velcro wrist straps are rusted and the straps almost halfway torn apart. The rust started within first says of use. These are used about 3 times a week. Apart from the poor quality of the wrist straps, the leather grips are good. Wish they were built to last longer.

This product is a game changer. If you are looking to lift heavy to gain muscle mass or strength, it’s a no brainer. You can load a lot more weight using these when it comes to shrugs, deadlifts, and some other pulling exercises. The best part is that you can focus on your form and not worry about the grips. I have use these for pushing exercises few times when my wrist was bothering me. It provided a nice support.As for sizing, my wrist size is 6.75 inches and I ordered extra small. It fits perfectly. It felt pretty tight at first but soon realized that’s not a bad thing. When you are lifting, it will stretch a little.The construction of this product is excellent. Though it is priced low, it is well made. I’ve used these grips for several months now and they look like they will last a long time. The curve you see on the strap for the thumb is a great design. I’ve never used other brands before but I would imagine that it would not be as comfortable. The sticky gel on the strap is , yes very sticky and works very well. I’m guessing these are the things that will go first but it looks like it will last a while. Wrist wrap is solid and gives some additional support on your wrists.In conclusion, these are very easy to use and very effective tool for lifting heavy weights. It can also be helpful for those who have some wrist and elbow injuries.

It helps to get a better grip on excercises in wich you have to pull (back routine for example) and that also lets you lift heavier weights. The material is very good and resistant, however, my first pair lasted about 10 month until they ripped out. Still I recommend them.

I ordered the Large size of them and finally used them yesterday. They did work but the strap had to be so tight it cut the blood supply off from my hands. My hands were covered in small red dots as the blood vessels burst. No real damage, not painful at all. Just odd looking.I think since the strap went all the way around my wrist it cut off circulation to my wrist. I am going to RMA and get a Medium size so that the strap does not meet and leaves an opening to allow circulation. Just to let you know ahead of time.

Well constructed and comfortable, however these grips really don’t take the load off your hands when doing deadlifts or lat pulldowns. I felt like I was gripping tighter to keep from slipping off the bar and couldn’t lift heavy weight. My old school wrist straps do a much better job supporting heavy weight. I might try to buy metal hooks wrist straps to see if they are any better or I just stay with my old wrist straps.

Work perfectly I love them! I have 6in wrists and got a x-small. Use them for neg pull ups at the end of back day. And to do the iso row machine.

I've had these guys for over a year, still going strong. The cushion on the wrist reeks to high heaven, definitely retains odor. The leather grip itself is solid & still doing the job. If you wash the cushion on the wrist do not get the leather wet it will stain everything. Def worth the money

Item torn on 4th usage. Doing warm up paused deadlift with (only) 100kg. It appears inadequate length of webbing used in production and hence only partially stitched.Hopefully just a one off production issue. Will be returning it. A shame as materials good.

These straps are very comfortable, easily and quickly switched between pull and push grip. The gel padding is cleverly placed, supporting the grip and they are even useful while doing push ups and burpies, giving good grip and support.

Really impressed with these. I needed a smaller size of my old more expensive grips after weight loss but didn’t want to spend another £50. These are fab, longer strap section than my old ones and very comfortable - great for the deadlifts I use them for. Highly recommend.

I have developed arthritis in my fingers so some weight exercises are quite painful. These grips ease the pain and allow me to still lift the weight I am used to. Excellent product

These are great for weight lifting,Really help your grip when doing walking lunges with heavy dumbbells
