Gloves=Gay

they aren't gay. They help your grip bigtime.

Must be abit stupid to not wear gloves i think. Especially with the job i do.

You need smooth hands to feel the ladies :P

And it hurts alot when you do it without gloves and also get unsightly sores and bumps on the hands.

Gloves are for poofs end of! Unless you really do need smooth hands.

After a while your hands get used to the bare iron. I used to get callouses all the time which the gf hated, but now i rarely get them. And since when has it ever 'hurt'?!

Your grip shouldn't be a problem, except for deads.

Try chalk, it's far more 'manly'.

DaPs · 02-07-2007, 04:00 PM

It's a bit difficult using chalk when the only weights you do are in your bedroom lol(me)

jdan · 02-07-2007, 05:25 PM

I find people more distracting that are overly loud or enthusiastic - ie: slamming the weights down after completing their Reps, loud panting/heavy breathing, or even cries of pain! lol! (yes, I am still talking about being in the Gym)! lol.

If wearing gloves meant I had better grip on the bar or apparatus (= more control), less fatigue, less strain, ultimately helping improve my Reps, then I'd wear them.

I just get on with my gym training, and don't really care or think about what other people there are up to, or what they are wearing. So if someone was wearing gloves, I probably wouldn't notice anyway.

I don't think they help grip, if anything they are a hindrance on stuff like deads, they'd make the weight slip IMO, I just use wrist straps and have some nice callouses...lol

ps; Daps, what happened to training at the gym......you are on a ****in economy drive, take it the weights didn't sell?

But then if you start with gloves, you will always have poor grip.

Its like the people that squat with the sissy pad on the bar, if you start squatting with it then you have no chance to change that when you get to decent weight.

I bought a chalk bar off ebay for about £2 and it's been my most useful purchase yet.

With the correct grip you can keep calluses at bay anyway...

i have to disagree mate... if your more comfortable doing an exercise, you'll perform the exercise better imo... aids like straps, belts etc all have there place... But i do agree with chalk... much better than relying on straps!

Robbie · 07-01-2008, 01:50 PM

But if you start without the pad it doesn't hurt...

And using the big pad will put the bar in the wrong place...

Anyway, gloves are alway funny when they are worn on the machines!

i love it when people wear belts even though the aren't training back or legs! :confused:
