Weight lifting gloves. Who uses them?

[El Diablo Blanco]

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?

[AC Slater]

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

[Swedish Viking]

Do not use. 

[Nirvana]

I never could grip the bar the same way with gloves

[spinnis]

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!!!!

[SF1900]

Don't wear them. Could never get a good grip.

[240 is Back]

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?
