Abstract: The weight lifting glove has a barbell stop which is either a singular, laterally extending stop element or a series of aligned stop elements above the crease of the user's wrist, generally extending from the thenar to the hypothenar of the palm. The stop is mounted on or within said anterior glove cover and is elevated above a surface of the anterior glove cover. The stop is adopted to restrain a barbell grasped by the gloved hand of the user. The stop may be rigid or slightly compressible. In general, is a semi-cylindrical shape.
