lifting gloves

Gym hand guards

Lifting gloves are fingerless gloves worn during weightlifting to protect the palms and improve grip.

They typically have padded palms and may include wrist straps for support.

Some lifters prefer them for comfort; others argue bare hands develop better calluses and grip strength: I forgot my lifting gloves, so my hands are torn up.
