Gloves......

Hi there

Does it help using gloves when you do weights? Man I dont know if I should buy or just keep going, I dont like the look and feel of the stuff......

Thanks, God bless

Once again this is a personal decision, some enjoy some don't... I like gloves as I don't like calluses. I also find I feel stronger, it's a mental thing.. Use it if you want to or don't.

they make my grip weakes so i dont use them for all the exercises,and then because of this i lost them,now i just make peace with the caluses,they seem to become less thick and rough with time anyhow

Noted!

I prefer to wear gloves for hygiene reasons. People sweat all over the stuff. God knows where their hands were. I dont like the weight training gloves though. Too bulky. Nike makes cool multi purpose fitness gloves. They only last a year but then they ar also dirt cheap so you can afford to 1 or 2 pair a year

I also use nike

My hands are hard. I shake hands with you glove-wearing poofs my callusses will rip the glove apart....:laugh:

I do use straps on heavy lifts though.

i always use gloves, but i still get callouses thru them. I've always found i can push harder and heavier with them, my muscles get tired before my hands... I also have a ganglion on my right wrist and if i dont wear gloves with wrist protection it flares up way too often. I just use the cheap mr price sport ones as i burn thru them pretty quickly

I used to gloves since I started training but I reckon about 10 months ago I just stopped using them and now I prefer it without.

I have a friend that use to say...

"chicks like eelte"

not to look at... but for some other below the belt purposes... :evil:

I should try again, the first 4 years or so of my training I never used them. I guess it's the same as surfing some feel free if they don't use booties others prefer the grip with them on. That's why I said it's a personal choice, I'll try again seeing these gloves are mine are starting to smell as soaking them is not doing the trick anymore.

Where the hell are his "EELTE"?!??!!?

He is refering to manual stimualtion my friend...
It is very plausible then...

I use gloves for 2 simple personal reasons.

First one is because of the blob of snot the previous idiot left on the bench bar. Second is because I once let the lat pull-down bar slip and it ripped the "eelte" straight off leaving me with raw meat patches.

I use two blue bull scrotums as gloves...

JA LSJ, happened to my friend aswell... while he was deadlifting....
ripped them right out. It left these bleeding half a centimeter deep holes in his hands!!!

Do you know how sore it LOOKS? He only ripped them out halfway, so now there were these big chunks of dead skin (about a 1cm piece) that was loose. What is there to do? so he just pulled them out completely by hiself. so that the skin can all heal at the same time and not leave half "eelte" to still bother you... ja... HARDCORE... :sick:

Talking about lifting straps, same friend was busy with widegrip pullups when the strap broke.... Ja needless to so what happened next... op sy kop :silly:

He is actually one of the most gifted individuals that i know, how many naturals do you know, that can bench 150kg for reps while having a bodyweight of 80kg?
