does any1 having difficulty doing deadlift especially heavy weight

this is my first time using glove during lifting
and i found out, i cant hold the barbell tightly/firmly/nicely after using glove

im using LP support glove 750


http://www.lp-supports.com/products/hand_and_wrist_supports/

then dont use glove, i doesn't use glove

Normally, if the glove is padded or has thick padding, then its gonna be difficult to fully cuff the bar handle. Is the LP glove thick around the palm?

What veejay said is absolutely true. I used to use addidas gloves before and was able to deadlift with gloves. After changing it to HArbinger, I can't deadlift with my gloves anymore as it has a very thick palm padding.

ur hand dont get bruises?

yeah, LP kinda thick, any wat to overcome it..(change the way i hold the barbell)???

how much ur adidas glove?

I bought it fr rm115 from fitness concept. It lasted fr about 8 months though

with the right technique of holding the bar, you wont get bruise. i thought rippletits for a video about it somewhere

Harbinger is good, but sadly, they dont bring all the models to Malaysia, not sure why?!

SO far, I see only egonutritions who carries it, do anyone else carrying the brand? Even them, its out of stock most of time.

The Big grip II is not for us, better go for Classic model Wristwrap or Training Grip Wristwrap.

As for better grip on deadlift, you could try switching your grip, one hand is inner grip, and the other using outer grip.

actually ur palm won't bruise if u dun use gloves. provided u master the technique of holdin the bar in the proper way( firm grip placin the bar in the creases of ur fingers without any movement of the bar in ur palm) in whatever exercise. bruises is caused by the movement and rubbing of the bar in ur palm while workouts. trust me. i've been lifting for almost 8 years. never worn gloves ever(weel maybe first 2 years i have). and my palm are as soft as girls.

gloves won't help in dead lifting. use lifting straps. they're the best.

you'll get callouses in your hands, which is pretty normal if deads are part of your programme and you're not using gloves.

a few ways to grip the barbell, you might wanna google them:
double overhand grip, mixed grip and the clean or snatch grip, not very sure of the name (thumb overlaps forefinger)

i use all 3 depending on the weight. lighter sets are double overhand, heavier ones mixed.

of course you can use straps to avoid grip problems, but at this point probably not the best idea.
