If, like me, you don’t think calluses are anything to brag about, you’ll probably want some decent fitness gloves for your strength training sessions. I’m getting all my friends a pair for Christmas after discovering this year that you can get them with built-in wrist support (which was a game-changer for me, with my notoriously weak wrists).
When you get to a certain point in your fitness career, the handy knurling on barbells and dumbbells starts to chafe and you end up with lumps, bumps, and blisters on your palms. The next time you go to pick up a dumbbell, you may find sore spots on your hands prevent you from being able to enjoy your strength session and making steady progress. You could try lifting cheap weights without the knurling feature, but in my experience they end up slipping all over the place in your sweaty hands.
The beautiful, simple, and inexpensive solution is gloves.
I favor this pair from ATERCEL, which are reduced by 44% for Black Friday, but I’ll be getting several different types, depending on the friend I’m buying for.
Pair a set of these gloves with some of the best kettlebells and you’re onto a winner.
