         1 . A flexible grip for grasping a cylindrical object for lifting weights, comprising:
 a. A hand section having a hand side and a grip side positioned oppositely to said hand side, said hand side of said hand section also comprising a palm section and a finger section, said palm section covering substantially all of the palm of a user, said finger section extending from said palm section;   b. A securing portion positioned oppositely to said strap portion, said strap portion being securable to said securing portion about the wrist of a user; and   c. A strap portion connected to said hand section, said strap portion having a wrapping portion about said securing portion,
 Said grip providing substantially full coverage to a user's palm and fingers when said user wears said grip and curls said grip to grab a cylindrical object connected to a weight. 
   
     
     
         2 . The grip of  claim 1  wherein said finger section substantially covers all of a user's fingers when said grip is in a pre-grip position. 
     
     
         3 . The grip of  claim 2  wherein said finger section substantially covers all of a user's fingers when said grip is in a post-grip position. 
     
     
         4 . The grip of  claim 3  wherein said finger section fully covers all of a user's fingers when said grip is in a post-grip position. 
     
     
         5 . The grip of  claim 1  wherein said finger section further comprises an additional grip portion for gripping said cylindrical object connected to said weight. 
     
     
         6 . The grip of  claim 1  wherein said grip side of said hand section comprises a gripping surface. 
     
     
         7 . The grip of  claim 6  wherein said gripping surface increases grip-ability of said grip to a said cylindrical object connected to a said weight. 
     
     
         8 . The grip of  claim 1  wherein said strap portion and said securing portion use a hook and loop mechanism to effect attachment of said strap portion to said securing portion.
