So my hands are starting to hurt! I am wondering if gloves would help. What is your favorite work out glove? suggestions?
 
i have Valeo for when i use dumbells or a pull up bar. i got them at Academy.they are old so they might not be there anymore.

Joints hurting or skin hurting? If it's skin, yes loves will help! I second valeo, as they hold up the longest. But I have a pair of cathe's gloves too and they are just as good so far and quite a bit prettier!:)
 
It's not the skin. I noticed during pub while doing chest press/ fly hold 10bs my hands start to hurt! What can u do?
 
How much efa's are u getting? (essential fatty acids) fish oil, flax oil, and anything with omegas will help with joint pain. Does it feel like joint pain? If it's not joint pain could b that you might need to try wrist straps to help you evenly hold heavy weights without straining your hands. And valeo makes gloves with wrist wraps attached too. If it feels like joint strain then make sure u are hydrating enough and try adding in some apple cider vinegar to your diet for joint health along with efa's.
 
You may also try some forearm exercises to strengthen the fingers and the wrists. In the slow and heavy series of biceps and trceps, cathe does some great forearm exercises that may also help with ur finger strength.
 
i use the gloves mostly when i do chest press. i can lift the weight but it feels like the dumbell is falling in my hand.
