How are these gloves for doing things like dead lifts and pullups? Do they help in maintaining a good grip on the bar? Thanks

These aren't really made to increase your grip. They work good with curl bars and dumbells and I have done pull ups with them without much of a problem. You won't GAIN grip with these though

You can hold a good grip. The strap is also very helpful. Like I said in my review the smell of them is a total disadvantage. You literary have to wash them almost every other day. Such an inconvenience!!I would suggest looking at other options.

The gloves work fine for these purposes. The gloves provide a good grip. The real problem with the gloves is the seams. They will tear at the seams in a relatively short period of time. For deadlifts, though, you are far better off with a set of deadlift straps or hooks. They last much longer and work far better than gloves.

Gloves are for pushing movements. You need Deadlift Straps, which you wrapped the bar with for pulling movements. I prefer the ones with a padded wrist wrap

Yes. I've actually used them alot for pullups and deadlifts and they work great.

I do not have the Fit Four Anti-Ripper gloves to compare, but these gloves seem to be more geared towards reducing cuts and blisters on your hands rather then providing a better grip. I find these gloves slip on my hands, a thumb strap would make them better, but for pull-ups and light bar work, they suit my needs.

I use mine for kettle bell workout and have not seen any wear or tear! I also use them for rough metal barbells with no damage done to them. These gloves are great! I have now ordered two pairs for friends!

I haven't had the opportunity to give the new ones a try yet so I can't say which is a better choice btwn the two. I will say that the gripper glove is definitely a great glove to incorporate into workouts when your hands get truly sore, no matter what level of experience or strength you may have.

I have never used them for this application. But I hear of people doing that with these type of glove. I have heard stories of success with this. It would be a cheap solution at least. Give it a shot what do you have to lose?

I almost forgot about those... They're 'work gloves' and though I'm a machinist/mechanical Engineer, These gloves are more for general use to prevent slipping and perhaps more applicable to carpentry, (though I don't know if carpenters would agree). It's safe to say that they're 'general use' work gloves and help prevent slipping due to oily or sweaty hands.

I never really noticed. Why does that matter? You're working out and they feel comfortable and properly cushion your hand. The only thing I've seen is that the edges around the wrist area absorb a little sweat. I use the natural coloured one and would not have noticed this as much with the black gloves but I still like the colour I chose. :)

Yes excellent gloves. Have ordered 3 pairs. They have each lasted over 6 to 8 months - I use them 6 days a week in gym. Basically only get new ones due to them getting smelly

I wouldn't recommend it. The whole point of these lighter, fingerless gloves is so that they can be used for mixed martial arts, where you may have to grip/grapple with your opponent. I would recommend going for the heaviest boxing gloves that fit you (I wear and would recommend 16 oz gloves, but some some women/smaller people/people with smaller hands will wear 12 or 14 oz gloves). These a) give you more protection and allow you to hit the bag harder without fear of injury and b) give you a better workout. Think of it like wearing a weighted vest while working out-one that protects you as well (they do actually sell weighted hand wraps and even weighted shinguards for kickboxing). If you're interested in actually fighting (which is usually done with smaller gloves), your punches will be that much more powerful/quicker if you train with heavier gloves.

I find that the knurling on the handles is actually very good. It's much rougher than the knurling on my barbell, which surprised me. A couple of reviewers actually said it was too rough. Overall, feeling like my grip was slipping has never been an issue.

I use them to hold heavy weights, it may rip the inner lining eventually, but they do really help for the heavy weights and not getting your hands raw.

I use these primarily for rig work: pull ups, toes to bar and then kettle bell work, rather than barbell lifting gloves.

They DEFINITELY do! They have a lot of ventilation around the palms of your hands. This helps with sweating and also makes the gloves a lot less stinky after a good training session than other gloves.

Which new ones are you referring to? I have the gripper ones and they're pretty good, they do provide extra grip but if you don't get them loose enough, they start to dig into the webbing between your thumb and palm. But then if you don't get them tight enough, they could fall off. They're pretty good but I can only speak for the gripper ones

I use them for weight lifting and weight machines and they provide a lot of padding without being lumpy or awkward. I think they would do the same for pull ups.

I just measured the bar. 1 1/4" OD. I believe most crossfit bars are the same. 1" ID and 1 1/4" OD. I don't have massive hands (glove size 8) and it works well for me. I haven't even had to put medical tape around it for grip. Hope this helps!

I don't know. I always where gloves when I workout to keep from getting callouses. Sorry I couldn't help much. But they are working well. I went from size 15 to 16 and half inch arms in the first 3 weeks
