I have gloves which i only use for bench press because of the wrist support on them, i have these exact ones. My wrists are small so i use the support when im pushing massive poundages :D ::) (225x6-8) at the moment :-\

Can you bench 225 for 8 reps with good range of motion?

LOL I got exactly the same. ;D
But they are almost a lil too thick for my taste, you loose a lil grip strenth for pulling exercises (at least before you get used to it). Before I got gloves for not even half the price who suited me significanltly better.
Also use a belt for squats and bent over rows, but no Schiek.
-
I use to wear gloves and a belt for almost everything. Now i never wear gloves and never wear a belt (including squats, deadlift, rows, etc). The only thing i use now is straps and thats for barbell rows and dumbbell rows sometimes

whats the point of gloves?

The problem is that gloves turn you into a total pussy after some time. If you've used them for a while you can't continue without them (with no horny skin at your hands etc.).
If I'd have to hold a 120 pd barbell in my hands with no gloves nowadays I'd cry out in pain. ;D
-

It separates the men from the fags. If you see a guy wearing gloves in the gym, he is there cruising for cock, no exceptions.

Beautiful, tender hands. Not fucking up the skin and tights of a bitch with your ugly ass construction worker-like scarf-skin hands.
-
i think I might have tried straps for one set of shrugs but that was about it.
Never really thought about it much.

How can you fuck up a bitches skin when your hands are either behind your head while she is blowing you or wrapped around a cold beer ???

I dunno I'm no expert but... I've been lifting for many years and only got a little callus under each knuckle... nothing like my mates who work construction who have a layer of callus on their hands lol...

you have a good point. Ask shossy (my girlfriend's account on here). My hands look horrible. I'm almost ashamed to shake hands with anybody because most of the time when i do they ask me what i have in my hand afterwards. And I have a bruise on the back my thumbs that stays black all the time from the dumbbells rubbing against it. Kind of get into the habit of hiding it.

Even a small callus is probably a huge no-no in the gay community. These gloves wearing queens will try to come up with any excuse, but the fact remains, it's a sign that they are there to suck cock.

And if you can avoid these callus easily, by wearing gloves, why wouldn't you?
-
A little bit of occasional ball glitter.

p.s like i said, i only use the gloves for benching
-

Umm, maybe to avoid a teabag while benching. Straight guys don't wear them, this is a fact.

Are you serious?
I dunno I don't do everything possible in my life to please my woman lol... shock? horror?

ok, gotcha.
It's not my fault that the ladies prefer the smooth-skinned Metro boys over the hairy ugly construction-worker Musclebears who are afraid of wearing gloves cause they could be considered as gay lol (Closet homo?)

My sister says when I shake her hand in mass it feel very rough.
I also have those permanant bruises.
Only accessories I use in gym are chalk and a dipping belt
-
I got calluses that i pick the skin off so they bleed so now i use gloves. I tear them up all the time so i buy the leather ones at Wal-Mart in the gardening section 4 about eight bucks. Beats 24 bucks....
-
I use straps for the last set of every back exercise i do. So i use straps for 3 sets total. Never used gloves.
-
just straps. sometimes i will wear a condom....
bench
-
In a commercial gym i use gloves for hygienic reasons.

theres something as washing your hands with soap after a training.
-
I always have my personalized Cardillo belt on, even if only doing wrist curls. It accentuates my taper.
Straps even when doing pushing exercises. It makes me feel hardcore.
Gloves of course, always. It makes me appear like a serous trainer, and it prevents the calllouses the ladies hate.
Chalk. Only when I do deads, and sometimes on squats depending how hardcore I wish to appear that workout.
The 80's oversized training baggies with the funny print. I can look like my heroes! I dont care if they retired over a decade ago!
The Otomix shoes. They cost serious cash back in the day, I'm sure I get a better calf contraction with them, and they compliment my baggy pants.
The Animal range of cap/beanie, top, towel. Do I have to explain?
Fannypack/moonbag kit bag. Carry all my other accessories, aminos, shakes (pre/during/post workout), ipod, chalk, Joe Weider victory range, etc
-
Sometimes i bring some anal lube.

Always those, wrist support for my girly wrists and kinda lika straps also, but better
-
Gloves are gay in my opinion.
I do however sometimes use knee supports, and wrist supports, straps, and a belt, depending on the exercise.
-
Straps only
-
I have a man bag i take with me to carry my flex magazines so i can follow the training articles. I also always wear sunglasses cause i'm fucking hardcore.....
-
No gloves. I like to feel the bar in my hands. I do use lifting straps and a weight belt. On occasion I will use Knee Wraps when doing heavy squating, which I haven't done in a while. That's just me.

i only use straps on some movements and belt on back days
-
Gloves do not prevent calouses, pussy like training does though. calouses form at pressure points, gloves will not prevent this. plus the gloves turn into huge bacteria traps from getting wet, very nasty.
i will wear a belt for heavy movements, more than anything it reminds me by wearing it to lift with proper form. staps on heavy pulling movements.

good idea webcke.....I use it to store my posing oil and extra pair of thongs.....just in case...

What color are your gloves bro :D
-
wrist wraps only
my wrists are way too weak for the weight i lift
-
I wear my fanny pack over my spandex.
-

Exactly. I don't know how many times i have been at the gym and someone has challenged me to a posedown, just for me to humiliate myself and admit that i didn't bring a thong, let alone posing oil, with me. It pays to plan ahead.
-
On Saturdays, I wear cut off daisy dukes, work boots, checkered shirt and shades for my ultra hi-intensity workout
-
surely your wrists should be quite strong from all the 60lb strict db curls youve been doin lately...
-
for the past three weeks on my daily walks to/from the pool i've been wearing Versace sunglasses...the kind with the silver medalions on thick black frames. they look good on me.

Gloves. I never train without them--even when I train legs.
