ABSTRACT:
Weightlifting glove apparatus is disclosed which includes a tapered wedge extending from the heel of the hand inwardly toward the inside of the palm for use in weightlifting when presses are used. The wedge allows the hand to be aligned relatively straight with the ulna and radius when pressing. Due to the bone structure of the wrist, without such wedge the hands of the weightlifter rotate inwardly so that excess pressure is placed on the radius bone in the forearm and on the muscles of the wrist and hand. The wedge in the glove raises a weightlifting bar a sufficient distance to allow the hand to remain aligned with the wrist and forearm bones to relieve excess strain which causes pain and which may cause sprains.
