i never use to wear gloves, use straps, or wear belts........which I still dont......but there was this older gentleman who use to train at golds venice and his friend was a isolated case, in which metal sediments from the weights lodged in his skin and hands where he held the weights, and lost all movement of his hands.......I didnt start using gloves until 2006......i dont like gloves but those are actually pretty good......mesh, cut off at the mid-finger and I roll down the back of them.........maybe you should try using gloves instead of wearing g-strings under your jock-strap in the gym!
