Has anyone tried heavy deadlifts with these? Anymore feedback for pullups?

I use it for everything including deadlifts and pullups. It protects my hands and it gets a really good grip on the bars.

I have done every exercise under the sun with these gloves they performed great through them all!

Best gloves I've ever had. From Olympic and compound lifts and others, these are great.Mine fit perfectly and give "slipless" grip for lifting heavy or otherwise.Stuck out of town right now and what do I wish I'd packed first? Had to pick up some Golds gloves...not even close to the same feel as my Bionics.Durable, affordable, and have exceeded my expectations.

They are not ideal for heavy dead lifts. They will last until you can't stand the smell of the sweat that's soaked in and are great for everything other than heavy Deadlifts. Get something more heavy duty for Deadlifts

I fluctuate between 250 and 275. I've done dips weighted with 75 lbs. and I've done pull ups weighted with 50 lbs. and I've had no problems with it.

I am a powerlifter so only use them for deadlifts. They seem good. No sock is invincible, if you are going to constantly scrape a sock against a bar or a rope they will eventually break down. But better a $10-15 sock then your shin.

They're not for heavy lifting, in my opinion. I like to have my thumbs covered or I get blisters. The grip is great, but not enough coverage for me. Also, make sure to get the correct size or you'll be sliding around.

seems you are doing quite well with the blue ones. the orange ones would be a great fit. the most important thing is not enclosing the the grips. of course that would help. the most important thing is to keep it under control and keeping it balanced with the weights that you use. I use the orange ones for dumbbells as they are easier to control.

I'm in the gym about 6 days/week doing weights and 45 min. cardio sessions, and they've held up pretty well. I'm a heavy sweater and haven't had any problems. I've had them about a month.

Gina, you can definitely use these to lift. I do. But if you aren't doing any boxing, I wouldn't recommend getting these simply because of the cost. If you are boxing, then definitely get these. It saves time not having to change gloves!

Well, like all good answers, it depends. If you weigh over 200 pounds, and can bang out several pullups, then I would say the #1 would be a good place to start. I would also recommend getting the one above it (#1.5) and the one below it (#0.5), because like all good training, you need to vary the amount of stress.If you are a smaller guy, your grip may be weaker. I am 6'5" and 290# and can deadlift 480#, and I have trouble closing the #2. Hope this helps.

I use them for pushups. Also using them for situps instead of overhead bar makes the resistance greater.

Judging from the ones I have, they do look pretty sturdy and I don't think you would have a problem. Plus I think a lot of the moves would work well from your knees, so it wouldn't be your whole body's weight on them. The only concern is that this equipment can put a lot of stress on your shoulders with your weight, so you will have to be careful and not go too deep, definitely do everything from your knees until you build up strength on these motions :)

Oh yea, most definitely. The most I've deadlifted in this is #300, and it didn't budge. The velcro is pretty damn heavy duty. It's not as supportive as an Inzer belt, but the money, it's definitely a great deal.

I used them for my chest and back routines yesterday and noticed that for the chest flies that FatGripz seems to make it more strenuous for the chest. My trainer tried it himself and he noticed that it did work harder on the chest than without them.

Yes they would be great for crossfit training. I started out using them for their support after long bicycle rides; but now I use them for any strenuous activity I do.

For me personally I don't have trouble doing neutral pull ups on it as is, it's a non issue for me. Hope that helps!

Better with kettlebells than pull ups for me. I found them too slick for the bar for kipping pull ups:-)

They are the nicest straps that I have personally seen. If I had to guess, I would say they would hold up through heavy deadlifts, but I can't say for sure. The company may be able to provide you with that information.

I have found my bar to be very solid, with no movement even on kipping pull-ups. Added weight would be no problem.
