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.

Gotta keep the hands smooth for your boyfriend?

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.

The girl or your callused hand?

I actually used to use lotion for extra softness.

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

Who the fuck uses lube for wanking? Seriously?

I beat off with a bpm that would put techno to shame.

@trainer I have a strong grip, need to get back to work on crushers, they are lying unused and alone in a drawer in my parents' house.

They're answering this post without looking at what I posted.

You're wrong.

[Lustral]

You're wrong.

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)

Always gloves.  Also for golf.

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

[booty]
