Would weight lifting gloves or wrist straps be better?
Hi guys, So I just got a weigh lifting bench and using it just for a couple of hours my wrist are feeling very sore from the pressure of lifting repeatedly, Also my hands are getting caught under the bar and the thing that rests the bar once ur done.
Just wondering weather it would be best to get weighlifting gloves or wrist straps, Or do gloves do both?
Neither. the only way to prevent wrist strain while doing PUSHING movements like the bench press is to hold the bar near the palm of your hand, as close to your forearms as possible, and wrapping your thumb around the bar in a tight grip.
if you don’t do this the weight of the bar will bend your wrists back and this applies pressure to it. which is bad because the wrists are fairly fragile.
also wrist straps are only generally used for Pulling movements
and gloves will not help wrist bend at all. the only thing gloves helps with is making the bar bigger (the cushioning of the gloves will add to the circumference of the bar) or to grip something that’s very rough and harmful to your hands, like splintered wood and whatnot.
this is a problem with your form and not your equipment !
