if you are a competitive powerlifter then do not wear gloves because you can not wear them in competition. other than that wear gloves all you want it don't matter.

You can't ware gloves unless you wear them first  ::)

I don't use gloves but probably should. Have scratched girls' tits and snagged clothes from calluses. After back day my hands are in a complete state. I like it cos it looks manly and I don't work heavy manual labour but I'm sure my girlfriend and previous women would disagree.

Call me a homo but I have calluses on my hands and I don't like them, prefer softer hands. I have gloves but never use them maybe I will start. Good post Lustral.

Just last week I was on a date and a girl was rubbing my calloused hands and said "fuck that's hot."  I fucked her very hard later that night.

Pro tip- do not wear gloves.

when my mom saw my hands she bought me gloves. Anytime I see her she asks if I wear them despite state of my hands. Being a good son I lie and say yes that they are callused from climbing mountains to save children.

If you are a pussy beta lifter then sure wear your gloves preferably pink ones, but if you are a hardcore lifter then nothing feels better than iron on your bare hands.

It's emasculating to wear gloves.

It's like saying "mommy, holding this bar hurts too much, kiss my booboos better".

correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure gloves make lift harder. A woman's olympic bar has a lower diameter as they have smaller hands. A glove effectively increases size of bar in hand so has same effect of having less purchase on the bar so it reduces load lifted.

I like seeing my hands tough and chalky after a good back workout same as I like feeling dizzy after legs.

not only that but if you have being lifting for years without straps you will naturally have a stronger grip.

OK put sponges or a towel on bar next time you deadlift and see how you get on. Tell me why you lifted less.


Could you lift an 8" diameter pipe weighing 250kg the same as a normal barbell loaded to 250kg? (550lbs or so)

No never use lube for cracking one off. Lotion was only for hand softness. Usually applied after weight lifting to prevent calluses.

No gloves. I use straps only when absolutely necessary. Lots of chalk - I keep a big chunk of it in my gym bag.

I have thick calluses on both hands in the upper palm / lower fingers area, and to a lesser degree further down the palms - lots of heavy deads / rack pulls and other pulling movements with minimal use of straps will do this.

Haven't done manual labor in many, many years.

A man's hand should be manly. Not soft as a babies bottom. Powerlifters and Olympic lifters don't wear gloves. Why should a bodybuilder doing curls wear gloves? Just more fagafication of men. Women like a man's hand. It should feel capable of fixing things and lifting things.

Caring what women think is the first sign of faggetry.

If you don't care what women think you must spend a lot of time with your hand. Then I understand why you want woman soft hands.

I haven't gone a week without sex in over ten years. If you pander to women they lose respect for you. I'm not saying look like a fat scruffy shit, I'm saying if you say "girls prefer guys who wear pink and bring a rose to first date" you might as well hand in your man card.

I've worn gloves in the past, but not recently. The only place my hands get calloused is around my wedding ring. If I'd remember to take it off, that wouldn't happen. Some folks have drier skin which tends to be rough. Mine isn't.

They want an attentive man who cares for them, then call him an obsessive psycho or insecure when they go on a hen night or out with friends. My girlfriend said something about a hen night she went on a few months ago and I had no idea what she was talking about cos I was working.

People who work with their hands don't necessarily have shitty jobs. Who decided desk jobs were better than working in the trades? I've had desk jobs which I thought were pretty shitty sometimes.

Being a Pharaoh can be very hard work. It is stressful and dangerous. Tutankhamun (King Tut) ascended to the throne when he was 9 years old. Ten years later he was dead. He was a tall, skinny guy with buck teeth and scoliosis which required him to use a cane to walk.

Hand of the stupid fuck. It is quite simple: you need your hands to lifting, so you need to keep them healthy and avoid cuts, infections etc. shit like that. I have been lifting since 1988, and I have never have my hands as shit condition as that. I use soft pads for pulling, neoprene gloves for pushing movements, and grinder to get rid of the calluses. My hands are still soft as baby buttocks, and girls love that  ;D

What was your parents response when you came out of the closet? So you see allot of hand infections keeping your mates from lifting? Tell the dirty fucks to try soap and hot water.

our hands and forearm muscles cant compare to the strength of our lats and the weight it requires to stimulate some good growth,im with u simon on the straps,they help out bigtime.

Either my forearms are really strong or my back weak (likely the latter), but I don't find myself ever needing straps anymore, even for heavy shrugs. Maybe it was the endurance farmers walks, IDK.

I see I have to break this down for you like a child.

Sweaty hands=not maximum grip strength.

Condensation on bar=not maximum grip strength

chalk maximizes friction between hands and bar.

maximum friction=maximum grip strength


Of course only use chalk on the last few, heaviest sets.

Yeah, 80kg half squats with belt are pretty funny as well. Even more so, guys using bitch pad for squats. That's why I love going to a public gym from time to time, but not too often. I don't get used to that view so it cracks me up every time.

So, it is manly thing to be a stupid fuck, and ignore the comfort which only improve your ability to lift heavy weights? Difference between you and me is clear, I go to gym and lift, and you sit at the front of your computer hating everybody, because they all think you are stupid. Dear child, if someone say that it is gay thing to wear gloves in the gym, just beat the shit out of him. That's what I do if some one call me a homo. Of course, if your self-esteem is depending this kind of nonsense, and you can't be sure if you are a man just by looking in your pants, don't mind my humble opinion  ;D
