Would it be useful for weight lifting too i.e. working out using dumbells?

It would definitely be useful working out with dumbells. I use mine for just about every activity I do which includes working out with dumbells. Can't beat the price.

It would feel weird using this for benching. You wouldn't be able to grip the bar wide enough and would build your muscles unbalanced compared to a straight bar. when you go to a straight bar you wouldn't be able to lift as much and would probably do so without good form if you were to use this for benching.

Yes, these straps are very useful when lifting heavy. They stay in place and do not move even after several reps. I can lift much more weight with these on and my writs don't hurt afterwards.

It would work for the arm and shoulder exercises. The length of the bar is rather long, so there could only be a few inches of clearance between the floor and the end of the bar.

It really depends on how strong you are. If you have a lot of upper body strength then it will probably work great for you.

I believe that the foam density is not stiff enough to hold up to weight lifting. It would probably break down quickly.

In my opinion, Yes! I had this belt and used it specifically to work out in. It's probabaly better to have it on when exercising as supports your back really well.

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

I occasionally use these to work out. They are decent if you want to use them for weight lifting or something else where you aren't moving very fast. I run in them occasionally but they do fall out a lot once I start to sweat.

No. The instructions with the dumbbells say not to use them for that purpose. I bought pushup handles.

I think so, it all depends on how hard you work it is a good suppliment for working out

Yes it would. It comes with a diagram on how to use it for abs and other workouts.

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've only used for tennis and doing exercises with 1-5 lb weights in ladies exercise class so I have no idea if it would be adequate for the training you describe. I did mention in my review that I think the support would be significantly increased if these were available in a longer length. 4-5 inches longer would be great. I do like that the palm is left uncovered for gripping.

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 primarily use these straps for dead lifts and rows. They work great and allow me to train well beyond my hand strength. I have used them for pull downs, but never chin ups. I would imagine they would work fine as long as the bar is low enough to get them wrapped properly. If you have to jump up to the bar you won't be able to get them on unless you used a stool or chair.

I would recommend the usage of Dumbbells if you'd rather build muscle than stay lean. I prefer bands for the latter. You need a matt to perform abs, an agility ladder, a pull-up bar, and a jumping rope.
