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

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

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 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 (225x6-8) at the moment $:-\$

I also have cheap york wrist straps for deadlifting and a Sheik belt like this one, i use belt for deadlift/squats/bent over rows and thats it.

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.

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.

What color are your gloves bro

affy · « **Reply #39 on:** July 28, 2009, 05:34:59 AM »

my wrists are way too weak for the weight i lift

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...

bigdumbbell · « **Reply #44 on:** September 05, 2009, 05:22:43 PM »

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.

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.

Big "if"

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