Title: gloves in the gym
Post by: jdooly on August 30, 2007, 08:17:50 AM
gay.  Unless you have an open wound on your hand.  Also, not re-racking plates when you have more than 1 on anything.  one is OK IMO.

unless you lift better without (i believe I do i never wear gloves), why would you be bothered if somebody does? They do a good job in keepingt the hands off the ugly shit that forms up when you lift a lot of weight with bare hands.

If you ever had to use your grip or muscles to do any sort of heavy lifting or movements...are you going to whip your gloves out of your purse or just walk around with them on?

If it's because your girl bitches about your calluses...tell her to stfu.

LOL there is one guy at my gym that does this...He said because he uses thumbless grip on those, he thinks the straps add some 'grip' to the bar....

well i use gloves on trainning back i admit. My hands used to sweat a lot, and besides the fact that it prevents you to loose your grip on the bar, it makes a lot less painfull on exercises like deadlifts.On a side note, never saw chalk or anything like that in any gym here in Brazil...

on a second side note, i guess that Ronnie is silly to wear gloves AND straps to do deadlifts giving the fact he is a Pro and should always show how he is 'hardcore'  ::)

Using gloves will actually make your grip a little stronger outside of the gym but wearing them you have a weaker grip. It is equivalent to holding on to a bigger bar.  You won't be able to pull as much weight with thicker bars.

I started using gloves when I got a small metal shaving from a bar stuck in my hand.  It's still there.

Only acceptable answer yet. 

Also, Ronnie and the gang where NAME BRAND gloves, straps, wrist wraps....they are usually paid to do so, especially in photo shoots.

I've actually used straps when DB Pressing (commented on earlier).  Weird I know but they really took some pressure off my bum wrist, more so than wrist wraps.

I feel totally badass in gloves.  I wear ones with the thumb cut out and the other four fingers cut off just before the second knuckle.  Sometimes I dip 'em in broken glass and shadow box, until the gym manager comes over and makes me quit.  I'd hit him, but he's kinda tall.

Tried them when i started out - they did nothing for me and fell apart pretty quickly (tried a few different brands).  So I decided it wasn't worth my money.  That was probably about 10 years ago.  But if they help someone else, more power to 'em.  Like the previous poster, I generally don't pay attention to what other folks are doing... unless I'm waiting for the equipment they're using!

People should wear what is most comfortable for them in the gym. But, generally speaking Gloves are gay. The same people who where gloves also use the Pad on the bar when squatting. It makes no sense really, why should something that makes your workout more comfortable be Gay. I don't know why, it is just Man Law.

Too many people definitely wear gloves when they don't need them.  Like many have already said, I hate it when people are wearing gloves on leg day; that's some retarded shit.  I wear gloves for two lifts only:  lat pulldowns and deadlifts, and that's just so I don't scrape off the callouses on my hands.  Other than that, who needs 'em.  Just for show and appearance of 'hardcore'.

Call me crazy, but I just don't pay attention to this crap.



those bums on here wouldn't understand you, man. they'd rather pay attention to somebody else than focusing on their workouts.

I didn't read much of this thread but back in the day wearing gloves was for fags.  Guys loved the calluses that your hands got.  You would peel them when they started hanging and then they would start to bleed.  It showed you trained hard

I agree with you onlyme, i love the callouse look of my hands, my woman on the other hand doesn't care for it too much, but my hands aren't supposed to feel like hers..

HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE WOULD CHALK REALLY MAKE IN A MAX DEADLIFT (obviously with no gloves on)?

Onlyme, or someone with knowledge answer this.

Gloves will not really prevent callouses anyhow, they form from pressure.  I dont care for the look either or the fact they would be bactria traps.

wear them long enough and they stink and u need new ones...buy expensiv eharbinger gloves and this cost adds up.

i just go bare hands, it feels better for the grip.

actually gloves made for weight training, I find to be to bulky and they also cut off circulation in the hands when you wear them.  I have found that the $7.00 mesh bicycle glove cut off at the knuckles work very well.

gay.  Unless you have an open wound on your hand.  Also, not re-racking plates when you have more than 1 on anything.  one is OK IMO.

one is mandatory... striping the 1 or using less than 1 for anything other than curls is gay

Just make sure your gym lets you use chalk, you don't want the 150lb beast from the front desk to come over and tell you your putting your membership at risk. ::)
