Your Body and Gloves as One



I want to take some time and share information about the best CrossFit gloves to my fellow CrossFitters and gym junkies. We all know how painful blisters are, I guess every CrossFitter has gotten a blister or two in his / her hands. And we all know how those nasty blisters get in the way of our intense WODs, this alone entails that CrossFit gloves should be a CrossFitter’s main tool next to his / her body.

I remember the time when I was hesitant to spend extra cash for a pair of CrossFit gloves, until one day the blisters just got so bad.

I had to ask my box buddies on which they thought was the best CrossFit glove among the CrossFit brands. Jeff my buddy suggested me getting a pair of StrongerRx CrossFit gloves which he personally used ever since he started CrossFitting.  I was really hesitant and thought that any regular glove would do, so I went out and got a pair of cheap blue rubber gloves. The quality was obviously

not top notch but it was easy on

the wallet.

After just a few weeks of WODs the gloves started to tear apart, and the blisters came back. I realized that I would end up spending more if I continue to get cheap stuff, so I decided to get the best CrossFit gloves and went online to order a pair of StrongerRx CrossFit gloves from strongerrx.com. I got my order after a week and can’t wait to try it out in a WOD. As soon as I put them on I could already feel the difference, it felt like these CrossFit gloves were specially made for my hands. When I started working out and lifting the CrossFit gloves were as comfortable as can be. It was like lifting with my bare hands minus the pain.

After almost a year my CrossFit gloves from StrongerRx look just as they were when I first got them. The quality and durability were amazing. CrossFit is as intense as it gets when it comes to fitness, and as CrossFitters I believe that we need a pair of CrossFit gloves that could handle the intensity of CrossFit. No more did blisters hinder my performance, I can now face each challenge without the fear of hurting my hands.

Another wonder about the StrongerRx gloves would be the traction. We know that the metal bars are difficult to grip at times, with the SRX CrossFit gloves my grip never slips and my hands stay just where I want them to be. The weight we deal with is no laughing matter as one wrong grip or slip may lead to a bad injury. 

I personally value my StrongerRx CrossFit gloves as part of my body. I never go to the local box without a pair.  And with this blog I hope to help out my fellow CrossFitters  with a solution to fight those bad blisters.

Wise Spending on Apparel

When it comes to choosing the right apparel for Crossfit, there are some important factors to consider. For working out it is always important to consider comfort, but another thing that we need to keep in mind before going gaga over shopping on online stores is the value for money.

Crossfit shirts are one important apparels that you need for your workout. In choosing the right shirt to wear, your eyes will definitely brighten up because of the wide options that you would find online. There is a wide variety of designs available that will suit your preference. Crossfit shirts are now being created in different colors and designs, from earth to vibrant, wild colors – these shirts are ready to get your attention. Some of the online stores that I have seen has put some unique tough to their apparel, some uses very catchy statements that will motivate you while you workout and will make you more confident when you put them on. Some of the famous motivational quotes and statement that you can find online were transformed from being used in photos for social networking sites to the shirt that you will wear on your WOD tomorrow. For women, tank tops are also available in some stores as most of the working ladies in Crossfit prefer wearing tank tops than shirts.

However, these apparels are not always affordable. Some promises good quality. They might tell you that it would take a long time before their products wear off. This is where the value for money gets in the picture.

For someone who performs some really intense workouts everyday, it is necessary to get the right pieces of apparel for them. It’s no different for CrossFitters, it actually is even more important, for crossfitters do perform intense and hardcore exercises every single time. A cheaply made piece would get ripped easily and that would mean buying a new one. Who would want to spend some bucks in a piece of shirt that is intended for hardcore use if it wouldn’t even last for one week, right?

StrongerRx offers crossfit shirts that are very affordable and in superb quality. You can go for simple pieces in dark colors or take any of their new designs. There’s this very unique one that says “This is my hand stand push-up shirt” written upside-down which will require you to do a hand stand push up to show your peers that it is effectively motivating you with the statement and of course for you to properly use it on what it was basically made for.
So remember, be wise in choosing the right apparel. We should always take advantage of the promos and discounts that are being offered by some stores to get some good pieces that will last long.
