What are you two pro-glovers talking about? Calluses are great to have. They protect your hands when you're doing work, not just in the gym. What guy wants nice soft hands?

I didn't know you were a girl. Well, in that case I can see you wearing gloves but Lucius still has some explaining to do.

No explaining necessary. He's a switch hitter for the San Francisco gamecocks.

So in other words, you're a girl and still more hardcore than Lucius. I get it now.

In Ronnie's DVD Cost of Redemption.....

he Chalks his hands & wears gloves....(which I thought seemed a little unusual) but ok...He's Big Bubba....I'm not going to put much thought in what he decides to do for his training aids.

As for pro's wearing gloves....some of these guys, Cutler, Cormier, etc....have good contracts with these companies so you're going to see them wear their gloves for photo shoots, Dvd's, etc... I'm not saying they wouldn't if it wasn't a photoshoot....but it definitely needs to be considered.

In Arnold's Modern Encyclopedia, he was against wearing training gloves and said the callous you'll develop on your hands from training would give you grip

I followed that advice up until a few years ago when I slipped and dropped a dumbbell on my foot because my hands were slippery. I now wear gloves not because I've gotten weak but because the extra grip helps you out in training a great deal.

This all the proof anyone should need that under no circumstances should you wear gloves while working out.

Considering these facts Im still not sure who I should listen to

I have some blisters/callouses on my hand that kill (no understatement) when I do some movements (Deads, and chins after some sets,) so I wrap something on my hand or use gloves if I bring them. I don't wear gloves when it's not hurting.

I wear gloves. Living in L.A., CA. I get casting calls for commercials. The high paying national commercials like mcdonalds, hershey, and beer all need you to have non-calloused hands. Now lets see....$30,000 working out with gloves, or $0 trying to impress another man working out without gloves...hmmmmm tough decision.

Only thing worse than people who wear the gloves are the people who never wash their gloves

then they ask you for a spot and you stand there holding your breath while they rack out ten uncoordianted reps with 5lbs on the bar??

if u validate your masculinity with a nice set of calluses go knock yourself out...jeez

Are they white kid gloves? Or driving gloves? thisiskeith12, do you find that your hands get too rough without gloves?

My hands peel all the time, but at least I get a better grip. When I wear gloves my hands get sweaty.
