    1. Train your grip.
    2. Gloves will protect your hands from the wear and tear of the bar.
    3. Straps will allow you to lift more weight when your grip fails, but only use them when it does.

    My hands get stiff after holding heavy weights for a while. They kind of stay in that curled position and hurt afterwards, not suprisingly.

    Ditto. Especially after deadlifts.

    I also get callouses underneath the knuckles, even though i wear gloves.

    It doesnt hurt with the gloves though, so i think theyre a good idea.

    Static holds are superior to wrist curls for training grip IMO.

    I do both so, HAH.

    Sounds like you dont have callouses.

    Either way, does the pain go away when you put the weight down or does it remain for more than a few seconds?

    Grip work should do the trick....If you have the available at your gym, try working with the thicker than standard olympic bars, once u return to regulars (few weeks/months) U should see a nice difference!
    Gloves, while they do protect the skin on your hands, also make whichever bar technically "wider" so if youre grip is weak, sure gloves will prevent a little soreness but not resolve the issue.

    Straps are awesome for heavy DL and such I also like hooks.
    Life is what you make of it, not what it makes you...TAKE CHARGE!

    Get you a handball pr racketball and take it with you where ever you go. Just squeeze it. Now If you happened to be out one night where there are people around and have it in your pocket, make sure you remove it before squeezing to prevent people from thinking your playing with yourself.
