Gymreapers Lifting Grips

These are my first straps of this type, and having been a regular gym goer for less than 1 year, I understand any negative experience may be due to poor technique.

Generally, I have 3 issues that could provide genuine constructive feedback (or may be brushed off as a newbie):

One:

My wrists seem to be in the no man's land between the small and medium size, too big for small and perhaps a little too small for medium - the velcro is nearing its end and unless pulled right round, is on the loose side.

Perhaps some overlap designed between the sizes would work, as I would probably be closer to better working with a small than the medium which actually does fit.

Two:

I find the straps just a tad too small for thicker or rubber textured bars/ attachments. Most notable on the lat pulldown machine at my gym.

Solution, honestly perhaps even an additional inch of length would solve this without likely creating issues elsewhere.

Three:

Probably the bit that gets me most, the bottom of the leather grip is positioned so it is against the bottom of the wrist when lifting. This part of the leather is hard and quite sharp, and digs into the wrist which leaves fair marks that even caught my local personal trainer by surprise (and with less than one year in the gym, I am still very much at rookie numbers).

A piece of sponge or soft material at this part would solve that issue completely.

notwithstanding the above, I continue to wear these straps and have performed well with them…
