Do something good for your palm trees and buy them!

I waited about 2 weeks to test them to see how they would work/serve me. Let me just break it down into pros and cons. Pros: 1. The sizes posted are perfect! It fits my hands and fingers like a glove and they even included sandpaper for the finger holes in case you need to widen them.2. It covers the entire area of my palms, which is essential for me to do power-ups, pull-ups, basically anything on the bar. I can't build a callus, it never worked no matter how hard I tried, the skin just peels off and BAM, baby hands again. At the same time, I hate life when part of my palm is twisted in the crossbar. Now I love bar life as much as I can. 3. The skin on the palm is relatively thick, but not too thick to affect the grip. Actually it's perfect for me. Since getting them, I've only been able to double my reps and have fallen off the bar due to fatigue, not because my arms felt like they were being subjected to some sort of medieval torture. The straps are more than long enough to wrap around my tiny wrists and my fiancé's huge wrists. If you're worried about it, don't do it. Every other grip I've ever had has required me to roughen up or "break" concrete. I didn't have to do anything about it. I hate roughing up grips because I always feel like it ruins the little bit between my fingers and makes them easier to break. Since the bar is always wet in the morning, I put some chalk on the leather and I was able to get started. To be honest I think I could skip the chalk bucket on a dry day and still work out with no problem. Cons: literally NONE. I can't praise them enough, that's probably the only negative I have. They are priced lower than the well known brands I often see in the CrossFit world and in my experience the quality of these competitors is as good if not better than these big brands. Save extra money. Save your palms. wrote a review for it or offered something in return, although I probably deserve it because I'm basically their new gym rep 😂
