WeightLifting Gloves

[hosemaster]

Stopped using them along time ago. But I probably should start again, my wife is starting to complain when I rub that monkey.

I wear them. If I don't my hands start to bleed.

I find they help with my grip as well.

never used them and have no desire to, my grip sucks with them, i only use chalk, no straps either

 

[Miller]

i used to not wear them but i feel better wearing them now

Why does this poll have 6 possible answers. I can't even read them all.

No gloves.

 

[string_bean00]

It depends. I don't mind callouses in general, but I do mind huge ass think callouses. So I usually just wear them for deadlifts and shrugs. It's a compromise.

i use to, but i couldnt really feel the bar. then some power lifter in the gym suggested i use chalk, and never looked back since.

chalk is a must, straps and belt

 

[faze]

[Achilles]

I go through fazes.

Right now no gloves though.

 

[Derexan]

no gloves, never tried them...I rode 89 miles on a bike without gloves, my hands were bleeding and blistered....never tried straps.....I use belt for squat.

 

[hornedfrogs07]

I use em for all but leg day. Of course, mine are so old and rotten I might as well not wear em at all.

Callouses all the muthfuckin way

however, on the other hand... I was watching some STRONGMAN thing and they had to run with 400lb dumbells in each hand and sprint with them and this one dudes skin on his palm litterally tore off and was hanging from his hand..

They were 340 each and the reason they did that was because the handles were knurled (sp?). Farmers Implements are not supposed to have the knurling on them...they are supposed to be smooth.
