Title: Weight lifting gloves. Who uses them?
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on February 12, 2010, 01:51:31 PM
I've never used them before but I always hear people claim they help you not get callouses etc...  Just recently I found a pair that I bought years ago but never used and tried them over the last few days and I got a blister on my hand.  I haven't had a blister in years.  I felt like I couldn't get a good grip on the bar with them and it just felt uncomfortable.

I always see photos of Coleman, Heath and such who wear them. Actually, it seems that most of the black bodybuilders wear them and the white ones don't.  What gives?

those black fellas have soft hands, hence they wear gloves when lifting.

True Story!!!

My 13 yr old was in the gym with me one day and he knows I'm anti gloves (Im a powerlifter) Well one of our Bodybuilder guys was in there wearing gloves. He got done with his workout and came over to bullshit for a second. He took off his gloves and we were BS'n and my boy asked if he could see his gloves. So he handed his gloves to more, they were velcroed together. My boy then proceeded to take them and launch them like a frisbee across the gym and they landed bout 60 feet across the gym on the machine side. My boy then looks up at this guy who is like 275 and pretty damn solid and tells him "Gloves are for Pussies"  The look on the guys face was fucking priceless. He got owned by a 13 yr old powerlifter hahahaha!!!

Gloves are for Pussies, fags, twinks or whatever else you wanna call people who wear em!!!!

What are you weighing these days?

How are your lift numbers now that you've slimmed down?

I hit 253 this summer my numbers are WAY down but when you aint doing shit that happens. Im sitting bout 295 to 300 right now feel pretty comfy here. Doing a solid 500 raw and deadlifting in the high 5's been clean for almost a year now.

You're reading too far into it.  He's just performing to win his father's approval, which is actually good at 13.  Lots of kids that age are acting up by way of extending the middle finger to the parents.

Perhaps. Maybe I just got offended because I've been wearing gloves lately.  ;D (for the record, my girl says gloves are for pussies as well.  :-[)

I wear gloves while cycling.   :-[  But that's a pussy activity anyway so it's part of the uniform.

True Story!!!

My 13 yr old was in the gym with me one day and he knows I'm anti gloves (Im a powerlifter) Well one of our Bodybuilder guys was in there wearing gloves. He got done with his workout and came over to bullshit for a second. He took off his gloves and we were BS'n and my boy asked if he could see his gloves. So he handed his gloves to more, they were velcroed together. My boy then proceeded to take them and launch them like a frisbee across the gym and they landed bout 60 feet across the gym on the machine side. My boy then looks up at this guy who is like 275 and pretty damn solid and tells him "Gloves are for Pussies"  The look on the guys face was fucking priceless. He got owned by a 13 yr old powerlifter hahahaha!!!

Gloves are for Pussies, fags, twinks or whatever else you wanna call people who wear em!!!!

Fucking awesome kid! I would want that to be my son.

unless you got sweaty palms, gloves do not give you a better grip.

Straps on the other hand are really useful if you are going all out on rows and deadlifts


ps: I don't use any of them. But will consider straps if i have to

Maybe.  I knew a guy who wore cotton gardening gloves, which had always been used for gardening.  He was a twink.

One guy at my gym wears a back brace and weight gloves while walking on the treadmill for a half hour or more.

What should be the punishment for such deeds?
We will send this guy to talk with him.

Shut up, twink. 

While it is a matter of personal preference, gloves don't 'protect' anything, unless you're afraid of people knowing that you work out.  Either way, wearing gloves makes one a pussy.

And for the record I aint ever been arrested, never suspended, graduated high school, been at the same very well paying job for 16 yrs...

Since you have a stable job and no criminal record, you should probably change your name to 'BigWolfe' instead.   ;)

I don't use them simply because I feel I have a better "grip" without them.

Not to mention they really don't help that much imo.

I'm no Olympic power lifter but for power cleans, hang cleans, deads (the style of lifting I do)...they just tear after awhile, so I don't waste any more money on them.

I have calluses, but palmer cocoa butter pretty much evens that out if you are concerned about having rough "grips" when you are applying baby oil to a nice firm female ass.  ;)

That was my main concern, too.  I thought women, in general, preferred hands that were strong, but not too rough.

But when asked, most of the bodybuilder chicks I was fooling around with said they preferred the callouses.  I thought it was weird, but hey, I'm down with whatever will make those pants come off more easily.
