🏋️ Amazon Basics Gymnastics Leather Barbell Grip Review

Ordered for our gymnast. I'm not even sure if they can be used as gymnastic holds. Maybe for men, as they don't have a dowel like women's holds. Even then the skin is thin. I think they are definitely more for lifting weights.

The finger holes were also a lot bigger than what I'm used to…

Some other reviewers mistakenly think these are weightlifting gloves. It is not so. They are intended for gymnastics or gymnastics activities, for example when using rings, horizontal bars or uneven bars. They are designed to allow your hands to slide over the bars you must hold on these various devices without tearing the skin on your palms. When used for their intended purpose, they work perfectly. If you want weightlifting gloves to protect your palms from rolling barbells and dumbbells, buy
