Title: Workout Gloves
Post by: pumphard on May 18, 2006, 02:15:46 PM
I'm noticing more and more, pro's using the workout gloves with the wrist straps.  Guys like Coleman, Cutler, Quincey and a few others.  Is there a bit of an advandage in wearing them?  Anybody tried them, that can comment?

Are you kidding?  Workout gloves multiply your normal strength.  W/out gloves I'm deadlifting like 23lbs.  With gloves I'm up to 438lbs.  Think about that!

They wear them cause they are paid to.


They are endorsers of said gloves. Personally, I could care less for gloves. If you are worried about pretty hands, than you should not be working out at any place other than Curves.

Unless you are a hand male model, you should not need them. Women, I can understand, but men, real men..... ::)

Wow, your really funny.  You must be a card to hang out with.  That's a big jump from deadlifting 43lbs with gloves.  I just noticed that alot of them are starting to wear a certain type of workout glove.  I don't remember who said it, but some pro said it helped him lift a little heavier.  Not sure if Ronnie said that.

You know what the best gloves are?  Oven Mitts!  Cut some finger holes in them, and you're ready to break new barriers.

I think everyone wears them when they first start working out. Then, sometime between your nuts dropping from your stomach and your first chest hair you realize they are for pussies and quickly get rid of them.

Pfffff, no!  I customized mine.  One's red, one's blue; Punky Brewster style.  Then I have leather tassels, and some gold sequins.  When people see those gloves they know that the gym floor is about to shake and bars will bend.

LOL, that's pretty much what I was gonna say.  I had a pair of "Lee Haney" gloves in the 80's.  I thought workout gloves went out with leg warmers and those Michael Jackson jackets.

I don't know if that's totally true Gord.  In all honesty, my old workout partner was a tough son of a bitch.  He was deadlifting so much one day that he tore into his hands, and blood went everywhere.  Now I'm not that strong, but most of the pros are.   So, why wouldn't they wear gloves?

If your girl is complaining that your hands are too rough:


1) Your has never been with a man before

2) You're with the wrong girl


Gloves are for metrosexuals, or people who are paid to wear them.

Yep, if a girl complains about a guy's hands being rough then she's obviously into girlie men (which some women are, it takes all kinds).


Ergo, if your girlfriend is complaining that your hands are too rough, be advised that you are a girlie man, or at least she expects you to be one and that's what attracted her to you in the first place.

Girls want a real man.  She can say "I like your soft hands"

She wont ever feel safe with a pink skinned pussy.........otherwise she'd just date her girlfreinds.

There is a difference between taste and gayness. I'm not a hick, far from it. Just calling it like I see it.

I'm all for style, to a certain degree. I will not wear something just cause everyone else is. Which seems to be the norm these days. Guys dressing up like fags, navels showing, bell bottom-tight ass pants. Tiny shirts with shoes from the seventies. If it looks like a fag..........dresses like a fag.......must be a......

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.

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.

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??

  Are they white kid gloves? Or driving gloves? ;D 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.  ;)
