I have basal thumb arthritis and just started working out at a gym. Gripping and working with weights is painful in my thumbs. Will these help?

I too have basal joint arthritis and use these for the computer and they are great. These are pretty stiff and don't allow for bending so I personally wouldn't wear them to the gym. They wouldn't allow for the flexibility you need to bend around weights, etc.

after wearing it for 2 months, I have worn it out and started noticing a pain from the inside linings and from the bottom due to how short it is. Needs more cushion. Works great when you try to keep your hand completely still.

It may help some. I like it better than ones I got from the doctor. They all can limit the movement of your thumb, but for me this one eliminates a good bit of pain.

Yes these will help! I have Arthritis in my thumb as well and I use a bar with the elastic bands on it when working out,this helps when I have to spread my fingers to hold the bar!

Hello... My partner has Trigger Finger in his thumb, and chooses not to lift any weights with it. He said it's fine for normal day to day use.

If you are not already rough with your hands, then your grip strength doesnt actually matter IMO. you must toughen up your hands. These things are metal and cut in a diamond texture like a weight bar. You should really get a Trainer model if you don't already have somewhat beatup hands. Even if it proves to be easy to compress, you can always slow down the rep to improve effectiveness until you pick up the #1.

Yes I think they would. I have sevier osteo-arthritis in my left thumb and it seems to relieve the pain there. Also have rheumatoid arthritis which the fingers feel better while wearing the gloves. Best part you can still knit while wearing these gloves. They don't hinder movement. Hope this helps.

I don't put my thumbs around the bar anyway so all I am doing is pushing against a bigger object and my triceps love it. I have gotten stronger using these and regular fat gripz and then regular straight bar for change. All of them work. a great product. It works. I cycle it for a contest. I compete in bench only bench press meets internationally.

These gloves gently squeeze but don't restrict movement like a wrist brace does. You might ask your doc or PT if these gloves would benefit you in other ways, ie helping to keep fingers warm.

I would not recommend this pair of gloves. Elastic band comes across the palm of your hand and hurts when lifting or doing pullups. I would recommend a full pair of workout gloves.

Yes they will. I liked the resistance level on these. It was just enough to feel it the next day but not too heavy during exercise. The only downfall on these for me was that they are not ideal for small hands. They tend to slide a lot since the weight is located on top of your hand. I used these once during my combat class and had to take them off after 30 mins since I was constantly busy holding on to them trying to keep them from sliding to the side. My knuckles were pretty red from the friction.

I have arthritis in my hands and wear them every night. They provide gentle support for the fingers, hand and about two inches up the wrist. I can use them typing on the computer or using my smartphone. I would give them a try before you go to a brace unless you have very bad carpal tunnel. Good luck.

Perfect Pushups would be good for that because you will use the same concept of knuckle pushups without your knuckles on the ground/floor. I decided to give them a try, due to a shoulder injury and they provide better grip and stability for working on pushups while recovering from an injury.

Not really sure, but definitely worth a try as some people swear by it. If arthritis is the issue, I also recommend trying exercises, like the kind in Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis. Good luck!

I guess you could but they're specifically for heavy lifting in the weight room I would suggest getting some wrist wraps for boxing.

sure, but i wouldn't use them for that. They probably won't last you very long if you do any serious lifting. Plus, you usually want to have the fingertips cut off for lifting to offer more breathability. Personally, i use Harbinger wrist wrap gloves for lifting (about $20), which last me several years, and have the added bonus of the wrist wrap to support the wrist when lifting really heavy weights.

I think, if anything, it would give a better result. The Fat Gripz that people attach to dumbbell bars make the bar thicker, and dramatically alter the way the bar works the forearm. So gloves (or wrapping them in tape) would make the bars thicker and probably harder to work.Currently I'm using the ProHands gripmaster...and its too weak, I found one of these at the nearest used sporting goods store, along with a pair of Fat Gripz...unfortunately this is too strong.

my hands are 9" thumb to middle finger. I cannot fully wrap around the grip, that's also not its intent. these grips simply reduce the surface area so other muscles need to work harder. your lifts will be lighter of course, but the benefit is improving strength in other areas. these also are not a go to everyday addition to your workout, so size is a no issue Imo.

I have used it on my hands - I have arthritis in my thumbs and it seems to help the aching.

No way! They are extra wide and super stretchy. They will Fit small or large hands. The thumb loop should be firm and the wraps tightened around your wrist to suit your training set. The heavier you go the more support you can have. Just tighten the wrist wrap. Thank you. Please see our Happy Eagle 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee and 1 Year Warranty.

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.
