Should you ware gloves or just lift without them?

[Coach is Back!]

Classic coach. Wear are the gloves I wanted to where, wear going to were them out at the jim.

Past the age of 30 at the latest, if you have calloused hands it means you're either a douche who thinks it's "manly", or you have a shitty job

[Dave D]

all in love brother.

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)

What does that have to do with wearing gloves?
For the record I often train with a fat bar.

It is manly.  I am a douche.  And my job is shitty.

[BIG ACH]

I wear gloves (and straps when needed)... who gives a shit, just do what feels good!

Exactly.

I actually used to use lotion for extra softness. 

Subliminal advice 

[Henda]

nor sure if lifting weights without gloves is all too hard on the hands anyway, always trained gloveless but hands are a still lot softer since giving up the building trade

[kreator]

[Cleanest Natural]

No gloves.

rough handjob but somebody has to do it

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.

I just threw my gloves in closet after reading this

After all these years of intense posting on getbig, I give the Olympic bars calluses.

I sit at a desk on a computer all day and I haven't worn gloves in the gym in 30 years. My hands look like a Mexican farm worker's hands: dime sized callouses 1/8" thick on both hands.

It can make fapping a painful experience if I get carried away

what do I do for a living genius, please enlighten the board

You must be a "manly" douche with a shitty job.
