No gloves. I use straps only when absolutely necessary. Lots of chalk - I keep a big chunk of it in my gym bag.

I have thick calluses on both hands in the upper palm / lower fingers area, and to a lesser degree further down the palms - lots of heavy deads / rack pulls and other pulling movements with minimal use of straps will do this.

Haven't done manual labor in many, many years.

do you fellas carry those workout gloves in your purse?


fucking gloves... haven't worn them since I was 14, and they were the old school leather-palm and mesh kind that came in a Cybergenics kit. wore'em about a year, until they were falling apart with silver-dollar size holes in the palms and stunk like hell, haven't bothered with gloves since.

I see dudes dropping logs and standing in piss in the locker room restrooms. Then they go and roll dumbbells around with their shoes.

Fuck yeah I wear gloves. Gyms are fucking dirty.

I'm a fanatic about washing my hands, and the gym is no exception - soap, hot water, and sanitizer are used liberally right after training.

As are most people that go to a gym...any gym.

What fucking ghetto gyms do you and gracie go to? Showers and toilets in mine are like an ice rink they are so clean and guys just throw odd side tri in mirror no popping zits.

A man's hand should be manly. Not soft as a babies bottom. Powerlifters and Olympic lifters don't wear gloves. Why should a bodybuilder doing curls wear gloves? Just more fagafication of men. Women like a man's hand. It should feel capable of fixing things and lifting things.

Caring what women think is the first sign of faggetry.

If you don't care what women think you must spend a lot of time with your hand. Then I understand why you want woman soft hands.

I haven't gone a week without sex in over ten years. If you pander to women they lose respect for you. I'm not saying look like a fat scruffy shit, I'm saying if you say "girls prefer guys who wear pink and bring a rose to first date" you might as well hand in your man card.

Also what girls say and what they really want are often 2 different things.

I've worn gloves in the past, but not recently. The only place my hands get calloused is around my wedding ring. If I'd remember to take it off, that wouldn't happen. Some folks have drier skin which tends to be rough. Mine isn't.

Lol I was gonna add that but got distracted by TV.


They want an attentive man who cares for them, then call him an obsessive psycho or insecure when they go on a hen night or out with friends. My girlfriend said something about a hen night she went on a few months ago and I had no idea what she was talking about cos I was working.

Gotta admit, I wore gloves for about the first 6 or 7 years training...I thought they'd keep the callouses down, but in fact they didn't do jack shit except cost me money and stink.

No gloves.

Apparently a bunch of guys that "claim" they don`t care what others think, but are really worried someone will think they have a shitty job if they have calluses. You know,real alpha shit....
