I got some baseball batting gloves which have an amazing grip! I was wondering if I could wear em at the gym to do weights… They have a great grip. Although, I’ve never seen anyone work out with full finger gloves…

I do the same thing! I figured this out by accident. I injured my thumb so it was hurting to have the pressure on the thumb when I was doing bench press. I put on my batting gloves and my thumb dindt hurt nearly as much if at all. It helped me a lot and I haven’t had any problems yet. I would imagine though that it could wear down the palm of your batting glove pretty quick.
its not ideal, but it will work
Yeah, honestly, I would not recommend this. When I work out with weights, I like to have absolute feel in my fingertips.
Also, you will find that batting gloves will most likely rip within the first few trips to the gym. They were not made for this type of workout.
Workout gloves are more durable and made from a different material made to withstand this type of activity.
