Hey guys, dont know if this has been posted before but just for a fun topic I was wondering who uses lifting gloves and who doesn't and what your reasons are.

As for me, I use them (unless training legs). I cant stand having thick calices and because my hands are so dainty it gets to the point that they hurt so much I almost can't stand holding the weights. Plus the lady likes me to have soft hands

Everything but leg day. Helps grip things better and puts a little cushion between the hands and bar. Besides I hate mother****ers who chalk the hell out of their hands, **** gets all over everything. One guy in my gym seems like he takes a bath in the ****.

It might just be me but I cant help but smile and have a giggle to myself seeing people put them on. . .
If we needed gloves, we would be born with them.

On a contra note, they are helpful if you have sweaty hands (like me). Since my gym doesn't allow chalk, I have to use gloves otherwise everything slips.

Yeh i understand but i do too, wipe down the bar and hands with your towel till they are dry as possible and then spit a little in your hands rub them together till they are warm and not slippery and grab the bar you cant go wrong.

tried them once and didn't like them, but my hands are plenty toughened up from bike trials so i don't need them.

that's ****ing gross dude

if you're such a man, why are you wearing wrist straps in your avatar? oh it's not the same thing you say?

men and their egos. seriously, it's about working your muscles. whether or not you decide to wear gloves is optional and very subjective.
