I wouldnt give a shit what women say about calloused hands but I always wear my gloves because I get a much better grip.

I think you need to add the "I wear gloves because callouses chaffe my Willy" option.
Never wore them...never will. But I do hate my chaffed Willy

funny thread..i use straps for my heaviest sets..yeah i know its cheating..i just think its funny when guys come in with their belt on gloves spandex and tank tops and theyre doing pushdowns with like 50 lbs..no matter what they do the belt is on and so are the gloves..i chuckle every time i see one

I never wear gloves anymore on back or leg day, but for chest, I feel like they help my grip on the bar, plus i need the wrist wraps b/c of wrist pain if I don't use them.

I couldn't care less about callouses, but I always wear gloves for two reasons:

1) I need to focuse 100% on the weight I'm lifting, and not on my hands hurting. I also tend to pinch the skin on my hands during some exercises (eg. lat pulldowns)

2) I really couldn't care less about being a 'real man' in the gym, I'm there to lift big and go home. I will put myself through a lot of pain if there is a purpose, to endure pain for no reason at all is crazy to me

If someone could give me a valid (eg. they reduce performance) reason to not wear gloves, I will throw mine out today, but I have not seen a reason yet to make me get rid of the gloves

just me and the iron.

used to wear gloves for bench because it helped my grip but I haven't used them for months now. I just use the forbidden chalk, damn fitness gym.
I used to use straps for deads but i weened myself off those too. Now if my hands are really killing me I will use hooks for certain exercises, lat pulls, seated rows, etc.

i never ever use gloves. My hands are as soft as any other woman's. I use chalk when i'm deadlifting or benching if its really hot, and straps for doing shrugs- thats it.
but i may be one of the few women that think callouses are cool.
Up until a few weeks ago, i had really long nails- never broke one in the gym either.

we dont wear them in training because you cant wear them at meet time.
