Weightlifting grips are accessories designed to enhance grip strength and provide additional support and comfort during weightlifting exercises. These grips are commonly used by weightlifters, powerlifters, and other fitness enthusiasts to improve their performance and reduce the risk of developing calluses or blisters on the hands. Weightlifting grips come in various forms, and their primary function is to protect the hands while lifting heavy weights.
Weightlifting grips are often made from materials like leather, neoprene, or synthetic materials. Leather grips are known for durability, while neoprene grips offer comfort and flexibility. Weightlifting grips typically have a design that wraps around the barbell or dumbbell handle, providing a secure and non-slip grip. Some grips cover only the palm, while others extend to cover the fingers as well.
