Weightlifting grips

I do weightlifting and powerlifting, and I use substantial weights, but I'm constantly struggling with equipment. Due to my large hands and wide wrists, standard weightlifting pads are simply too small for me: either the strap puts pressure on my joint, or the grip itself is too short for the bar. What model is best for an athlete with unusually large hands that maximizes contact with the bar and provides a long, sturdy strap?

Re: Weightlifting grips

For a large hand, using standard fingerboards will only tighten the joints. In such cases, not only the wrist circumference is important, but also the length of the fingerboard itself; otherwise, it simply won't wrap around the large-diameter fingerboard.
