GIVEAWAY - Lifting Gloves
Wednesday November 3, 2010
It s no secret that I LOVE LIFTING WEIGHTS. I chat about it & the benefits of weight resistance often. I also try to engage people out & about to try weights if they have not done so. I explain that I lift for the way I want to look & anyone can put together a great lifting program to meet their needs & goals, no matter how you want to look, muscle wise.
So, I was lucky enough to be contacted by Harbinger Fitness. Harbinger sells weight lifting gloves, training gear, training aides and more! They offered me the chance to choose a couple pair of gloves to road test in the gym. How exciting is that for me!!!!! I chose the Women's 139 FlexFit glove in size medium and the men's 143 Pro in size small. Most women's gloves are not hard core enough for me & I end up wearing them out too fast. Men's gloves seem to pad my hands better & last longer since they are made for more serious lifters. I also love the machine washable leather so I did look for that. I am too lazy to hand wash!
The women's glove fit nice but was not really padded & strong enough for me. I wish I had tried the women's 149 Pro. I bet that would have been better for my weight lifting sessions. If you are a lighter or not as serious a lifter, the 139 might be a good fit for you.
I absolutely LOVED the men's 143 Pro! It was padded fully & protected my hands no matter what I was lifting or for how long.. and I go at that lifting for a while!
They were just a tad big BUT worked out fine. There is no XS in men's gloves.
There is a size chart on their site so you can figure out which size is right for you.
So, do you want to win a new pair of weight lifting gloves or bag work gloves (for cardio kick-boxing, martial arts or bag work)? Here is how - Giveaway Info:

I've liked picking up heavy chunks of iron and putting them down for a long time. Sometimes I enjoy the picking up more, and sometimes the putting down more. Either way, I get it done

I've come to love working out primarily because it gives me physical energy and the mental jolt of confidence taht only exercise can. With that jolt i believe in myself and that I can achieve my goals.
I'll help you spread the word Jody and link back to your post here on FB&Twitter for you.

I love feeling the pump when iam on my physical limit while stem the weight. Its like Arnold said: Its like having sex and coming =D Iam addicted to it! Also its great to see muscles growing and feel stronger. When i contract my muscles it feels great it gives me a good feeling. So i dont wanna miss it. Harbinger Gloves support me doing that,cause the gelpads and flexfit structure are great... have not seen better gloves!!! Also Harbinger Lifting Hooks are the best on market cause they are the only hooks wich are padded. Accommodation is terrific! Greats from Germany and a Harbinger-Fan

If only you saw the state of my gloves LOL! I was just saying to John that I needed a new pair the other day.
Strength training just rocks on many different levels. You get strong, you can do more, you can eat more. What's not to love?

I have to admit that I have been using biking gloves for working out with weights!
I do the strength training because I want to lose the bat wings! I feel strong after I work out. When I go buy a case of water I can lift it with ease!
It makes me feel younger too.

I have not used gloves before because I was afraid of people thinking "why is that girl wearing lifting gloves - she does not lift enough weights to need them?" But I want to be strong, I want to lift more, I love how it makes me feel! I want those gloves!
