Wearing gloves in the gym

I wanted to know if thats the only solution to getting your hands ripped up ? I want to keep my hands protected.

You can also hold small sponges or pads

i've had arguments with people about gloves over the years but guys have 100% of the time come back to me and said i was right

when you wear gloves you will create imbalances in your hands, wrists, forearms and even going up your arm.

you should not wear them with weight training, even as a female

the solution to not getting your hands ripped up is to keep doing it.. eventually your hands will strengthen where you don't get that problem. i have very powerful hands and grip strength due to years of weight training without gloves.

I agree with Stevesmi but it was a woman asking so...

My girlfriend wears gloves while lifting weights. Perfectly fine as a female. It'll prevent you from developing calluses on your hands so you don't get manly looking hands
