Can I just use these for regular weightlifting? And if so, are they any good?

Yes, you can. However, I do not keep them on for too long because they tend to squeeze around my the mid-section of my hand. I had purchased two sizes. The extra small was entirely too tight, but the small was a better fit. So whatever size you are just make sure to get a size up. I honestly forget them a lot and have gotten used to the callouses. But, when I use them, they are functional and cool looking. Hope this helps.

They'll probably cause some joint pain and muscle soreness for a few days after use the first couple weeks. After that, if you have problems you may want to use them less, which has solved practically all the issues I have had. Even if you lift heavy weights, like I do, you have to remember that you have not specifically trained your grip before. You have to build up to it.

You could, but honestly it's pointless. I use them for heavy bag workouts with some 14oz gloves and they're very supportive. The only thing that lacks support with them is thumb support. I use them for heavy bag workouts under my gloves and they work like a charm.

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.

depends on how hard you pull. I use them for working out too. What are you going to do with them?

Sri, I won't recommend that. They are tight enough but are not meant for active work out.

I can't say for sure but I think they would be okay for that. My problem was with gripping the weights and the fingers stretching out that the material bunched up at the ends of the fingers.

I think these straps work well for any kind of pulling exercise/movement because of the added grip. I use to use gloves when lifting but I prefer straps by far. Hope this helped

I'm sure you can use it for that but there are definitely cheaper tools targeted for that specific use. I used this bar for practicing the technique and form of my Olympic lifts. You can use it for whatever you like though!! Good luck

I wouldn't particularly use them for that purpose. They provide great wrist support for lifting, but no support or padding for the hands and striking.

I have had them for about a month and a half and been doing p90x with them. I have had no problem with them and no injuries. I would not drop them but on the other hand you shouldn't drop any dumbbells. I am glad I bought them.

I have used them on every piece of equipment at the gym that I go to and that does include Olympic bars (straight bars, z-bars/curl bars). I've used them on the ropes for my rope pull downs and I have used them on hammer strength equipment. I absolutely love them and they're very versatile. Let me know if that answers your question.

Yes and yes. I have been using the same pair for my workouts for about 2 years now without any damage. They work just as well as the first day I bought them. I'd give them a 10 in terms of durability, a 10 for their functionality, and a 6.5-7.0 for sound quality (they are for casual listening, not studio monitors).

No they would be for strengthening your biceps and shoulders. Gradual increases in bar bell weights and flexing your wrists forward, rotating, and backward would be the best way to build wrist strength.

In a lot of crossfit gyms these plates are standard. Yes they will hold up to your workout routine. Mine haven't been scratched yet. If you really want to keep them nice for as long as humanly possible, dont lift on asphalt. Get a towel or a mat and drop em on that.

Yes, you could use them. They are nice weights and could be used by either male or female.
