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.

i quess you never do heavy deadlift you fag, otherwise you would appriciate gloves.
-
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.

i bet they really help when your blasting out 3 x 175

Ok ,.we have all seen Ronnie Coleman wearing gloves in his videos.,i bet u will change ur mind if u ever shake hands with him ,feels like a brick.
-
i quess you never do heavy deadlift you fag, otherwise you would appriciate gloves.
maybe if you didn't have bitch hands it wouldn't be a problem?
-
I honestly wear gloves on back and bi days.,and use chalk on my pushing movements
-
i swear iv seen guys wearing gloves on leg day., yes this is totally stupid...
-

i actually did shake his hand in 2004, he has a strong handshake...whats your point? ronnie is a multi olympia title holder...he wears gloves...he does half reps...he has a treadmill next to his bed...so what....
youre comparing one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time to 175lb girls in the gym...there is no comparison.
-
I want to know what hte point of wearing gloves in the gym is unless you've got super sensitive 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.

ill save a spot for you by the squat rack....ill be the guy screaming while doing 135lb 1/4 squats

my point was that gloves will only give u a better gripp on pulling movements,thats how i feel ,u might have a diffrent opinion,its alright ;)

-

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' ::)
-
lol, how much more hardcore can ronnie coleman be,.
-
i quess you never do heavy deadlift you fag, otherwise you would appriciate gloves.
how much do you deadlift, el mariachi?
-
danny glover.
-
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.
-
Who cares if you wear gloves? I wear them, and when I am done working out, I wear them the rest of the day just so people know I workout!
-
alright now ,so all u gloves haters sayin that big pros like Ronnie Coleman,.QT, Criss Cormier,.and the like are all gays,ha?
They are fuckin queers!
-
heard of chalk?
chalk makes a lot of mess, expecially when training at home, why are gloves any gayer then lets say chalk, these bitches on getbig will always complain about something. go cry to your momma about your gay gloves you stupid fucks ;)
-
chalk makes a lot of mess
use a rosin bag....works great, no mess
-
I strongly recomend these on back day...
-
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.
-
why are you schmucks have a problem with wearing golves. if it helps somebody, let it be so.

I'm new to this board, so no disrespect to anybody, but who cares what anybody else around you is wearing, I could care less about what kind of gloves some dude is wearing and what exercise he is doing while wearing them, the only thing I am focused on is what I'm training and getting the best possible workout I can each day. Call me crazy, but I just don't pay attention to this crap.
-
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!

Gloves are for pussies. Re-racking weights is a waste of energy.

I didn't know it was a fashion show at the gym.
I use gloves cause I sweat like an SOB.And they help my grip.PERIOD!

And not have to mess with grip aswell.

im not going to meltdown over gay porn accusations.

-
The only reason I wear gloves is because my grip slips on the bench press otherwise.
-
i quess you never do heavy deadlift you fag, otherwise you would appriciate gloves.
gloves while heavy deadlifting, never seen that, usually queers deadlifting one plate and a quarter per side wear gloves, guess we know where you stand
-
i only wear them because they're pretty and pink..... ;D
-
I love seeing batting gloves and gardening gloves in the gym...always good for a laugh
Side note: This guy was at my gym today doing legs. 1/4 squats and leg press but in all fairness, his belly got in the way on the leg press.
-
hahahhhaa, hardly anybody wears gloves at the gym I go to, usually some skinny fat hispanic that just started working out.
-
guys who wear lifting belts for chest exercises... wear gloves.
guys who curl in the squat rack... wear gloves.
gloves are gey.

Good! It would be gross to meet a girl with calloused hands.

Who are you calling schmuck? Getbiggers should be allowed to weed out these gay subcultures out of our gyms. You should applaud the effort of the Getbiggers!

YES!!! must wear gloves when shadow boxing!!!!!
as a matter of fact, just this morning a saw a younger guy shadow boxing as he jogged on the tread.....
classic

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.

girls wear gloves LOL
I am definitely a girl (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v725/blflammia/Gifs/CheriAvatar.gif)

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'.
-
;D
Hot.

i once saw this guy wearing baseball gloves and trying to bench 115
that was a sight to see...this douche also had his pants down his ass and was wearing an xxxl white shirt
i wonder how these "thugs" pay for their gym membership?

;D
Mmmmm, tasty!

Stop arguing! Gloves are for gays and women. End of discussion!

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..
-
i swear iv seen guys wearing gloves on leg day., yes this is totally stupid...
gayer than benching with a back belt on.
-
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.

word, if anything gloves cause more calluses.
-
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

cool. just bought some chalk for heavy deadlift maximums i aim to do.

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. ::)
