They are like weightroom condoms. Take away all the feel imo.

 

[A-rod]

I use them , feel a greater sense of power and grip using them ..........

I never use em either .......straps only

 

[house1]

i dont use them but might give them a try. the wife hates the way my hands feel on her body.

they are very calloused and i constantley rip them apart which makes them feel even worse

 

[b fold the truth]

I have callouses and I don't mind. If ANY woman doen't like me because of my callouses...she can leave.

I have the hands of a 700+ deadlifter (completely raw) and a Pro Strongman. It is my life, I live it and love it. If she loves me then she will have to love it also.

I never feel as though I have the same grip with gloves on. I only train with straps, never gloves.

 

[ericdraven]

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.

Never used them. I'm 24 and I have the hands of a 60 year old lumberjack.

Women hate callousses, no matter how much you think they reflect heavy training. I started using gloves last year.

Callouses will fuck up a pair of nylons won't they brother?! Eh. Who cares? They sell them fuckers by the pound anyhow!

I like biting chunks of mine off at the gym, and then spitting them acrossed the room. Grosses everyone the hell out! I find it amusing though.

 

[incubus]

no gloves here

 

[catalyst]

Never used them, never will.

 

[mtellin]

Never use them either...straps very rarely as well

My callouses are starting to rip apart when I do deadlifts. I was thinking about using medical tape over that part of my hands to prevent it, because I don't want to use straps/gloves as a crutch. I just want to prevent my skin from pealing off. Anyone ever try this?

You can file them down with an emery (sp?) board.

This is what I have to do.

 

[b fold the truth]

I'm a massage therapist so I always wear my gloves when I lift. I don't think too many people would enjoy me dragging hard calloused hands all over their body

I guess that I can be called a meat-head...but I like women with tough hands

Well...I like tough women...athletes...with muscles. I work around female athletes all day...SOOOO hard!!!!

When they get bad I use lotion on those spots, but in the gym I never wear gloves, strap ons, or a belt.

Feel the steel.

 

[TheJackal]

Only use them for deadlifting, used to for everything but it wasnt necessary.
