   I never have been able to. Seems to improve grip but I like the feel of the bar in my hand. Lately I have been tearing up my callouses(sp). What do you guys use and why? IP: Logged |

i wear gloves so i don't get callouses. it helps to improve grip, specially if you sweat like a mofo like me. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I like the feeling of the bar dude so I have to skip the gloves. When I did use them though I found that gripping was actually harder because the glove can slip if you are lifting a lot of weight. IP: Logged |

I don't understand why someone would make fun of you if you wear gloves (as long as they aren't some gay ass colors)! I hate getting callouses (spelling)or "rough hands" so I always wear them. IP: Logged |

I wear them on back days chest days but thats about it, let them laugh - women don't like the nice sandpaper feel of bumpy dead skinned hands. If it came down to a choice Id rather impress the ladies at my pad/the club than the big guys at the gym anytime. Slopain IP: Logged |

Hell yeah gloves. In my experience women dont like the hard, rough, fucked up looking hands. To each his own i guess, but i had a girl that loved me to play with her cause i had soft hands. Say what ever you want "my duty is to please that booty!" ------------------ IP: Logged |

NO gloves, and how are you all gripping the bar anyway? I've never gott'en big calluses. I make sure my palm does not "roll up" and pinch, get a better grip this way and does not tear up your hands. Maybe you all got some baggy skin hands or something.... Late Lobo IP: Logged |

My callouses are at the base of the palm before the fingers start. I gets me when I do heavy shrougs, curls, and up right rows. I will tell you the wife hates it. Suck when your plaming some breast and she's like get the sand paper out of here. I try and use them but after about two lifts they come off. I'm thinking about wrapping the bars in tape.

No, I hear it weakens the grip over time? I don't know - Been lifting as heavy as I can handle since I got on this board, that might have something to do with it. IP: Logged |

Gloves?? hehe. No seriously I go open hand. Grip improves that way, plus it allows for easy chalk use. Secondly, i dont plam my girlfriend body, i use my fingertips. So the calouses dont irritate her IP: Logged |

I like working out without gloves. I can tell how hard I've been training by how think my calouses are. But my hands sweat alot when I bench and my hands slip on the bar. Since my gym doesnt have chalk I have to use gloves. But only for benches. IP: Logged |

Gloves suck, soft hands are not important to a MAN. I would be chased out the gym door by my buddies if I wore them. Unfortunately, the majority of GAYS wear gloves at our health club. So I may be a little biased. I don't aim to degrade GAYS, I know in an eralier post someone bagged on GAYS and everyone ripped his head off. I guess there's a lot of GAYS frequenting these boards.

I dont wear gloves because I am too poor and too cheap to buy some. My calouses are so bad, that sometimes after I work out it hurts just to make a fist. Got them on all my fingers and all over the palms and my hands feel like rocky sandpaper. I just bite them off. IP: Logged |

B-Funk: You should always wash gloves about 2 times before you wear them to get that black shit out. Also wash them about once a week to get the stank out. IP: Logged |
