Should you ware gloves or just lift without them?

[chaos]

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....

x2

[gcb]

i wear them - and maybe i'm a girl, but we can't use chalk in my gym and i always find my grip slips without them.

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.

Hen night....when a bunch of gals go out together and lay eggs.

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.

"gloves"? bitch please....

The guy is pulling a several hundred tonne Hercules aircraft with his bare hands while some guys on here need 'protection' to lift some metal bars which take two weeks to get used to without gloves

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

Brutal Victorian era mentality.

Make sure to stay out the sun so it doesn't look like you're a peasant whose been working the fields

People who work with their hands don't necessarily have shitty jobs. Who decided desk jobs were better than working in the trades? I've had desk jobs which I thought were pretty shitty sometimes.

[anabolichalo]

are you afraid of manual work?

my body is only fuck bodybuild and fucking of whore

not for working

[B_B_C]

I see dudes dropping logs .

do you do this often?
 

[Lustral]

are you ashamed to tell her you weighttrain?

Of course not. My dad didn't want me to go to gyms when I was 16, said sport was full of queers and they'd be checking me out in locker room.

As we all know, there is no gayness in bbing or gym culture.

[Powerlift66]

this one guys in the mirror at my gym popping his facial zits all over the place,then wiping his face off with his shirt :Pi felt like running up behind him and slamming a curl bar across his skull

More skull crushers for the loser...

[anabolichalo]

a drug taking bodybuilder afraid of hard work - quality alpha male

who is the alpha male?

the slaves or the pharao


 

hard work

 

[Lustral]

bet that answer would go down well in the Law library

What's your point?

[Nirvana]

They will need to conduct a study to see what women prefer, then I'll make my decision.

Is your dad homophobic?

hard work

 

Being a Pharaoh can be very hard work. It is stressful and dangerous. Tutankhamun (King Tut) ascended to the throne when he was 9 years old. Ten years later he was dead. He was a tall, skinny guy with buck teeth and scoliosis which required him to use a cane to walk.

Taken today. Total mess. Find callused hands on list of things girls don't like alongside pubes and facts.

Hand of the stupid fuck. It is quite simple: you need your hands to lifting, so you need to keep them healthy and avoid cuts, infections etc. shit like that. I have been lifting since 1988, and I have never have my hands as shit condition as that. I use soft pads for pulling, neoprene gloves for pushing movements, and grinder to get rid of the calluses. My hands are still soft as baby buttocks, and girls love that

What was your parents response when you came out of the closet? So you see allot of hand infections keeping your mates from lifting? Tell the dirty fucks to try soap and hot water. Girl might prefer softer hands. But my rough hands from lifting, working in a trade, and other general MAN stuff gets their panties allot wetter than your foo foo fairy hands. I don't get into the whole alpha/ beta dick measuring bs but gloves are some beta shit. Who wears gloves in the gym? Woman and homo's

[Lustral]

Is your dad homophobic?

No just old. He was right too, soon as I joined old guys in towels would perv and makes passes on young guys in sauna. Ignore it if you're not into it....

[SuperTed]

I wear gloves. Started using them when I started training and just continued to do so without ever putting much thought into ditching them.

Never used anything else though - straps, belt etc.

[Neptune100]

Personally I won't wear gloves. Ultimately it's about grip strength for me so no straps either. Just chalk.
