I used to wear gloves, My hands always hurt. I actually hurt my wrists, had to stop lifting for a while and just never used gloves anymore.
Personnaly I like it better without gloves. Plus I have seen some people with gloves and they look like wanna-B's, but they also all wear wife beaters.
You sir look like nick nolte in a steel cage match with Captain Kangaroo, boooo-yaaahh
For all those that complain about the calluses. Try using and I know it is girlish, but lotion. Steal some from your woman. I know everyone put's tanning lotion on their bodies when they go into the sun. Calluses form when your hands become hard. I'll probably get bashed for this post, but just wanted to put the thought into some of your minds. Later
