? why weighted gloves during legs?

weighted gloves

Cathe/SNM:
Why do Cathe and the crew wear the weight gloves while doing the STS legs?

Hi Hrcfitness! We have the actual gloves on throughout the program, but each individual may or may not have weight in them. These gloves have the option of weights being added to them.

Having weight in the gloves will vary from individual to individual, exercise to exercise, and mesocycle to mesocycle (sometimes we train at 70 percent 1RM, sometimes 80%1RM etc.). Some may find they need weight and some may find they don't. Some may find they only need one more pound, some will find they need two more pounds. Some may find they need 5 more pounds and bypass the glove all together and go to the next dumbbell increment.

Hope that helps :)
