hey fella - i aint getting personal. you're completely right, people should be allowed to do what they want. my hands sweat a great deal too and if i worry about grip i wipe them on my shirt or shorts before the set. now i was responding to a post from a member who said he didn't know why he wore gloves. you do know why - for the purpose of extra grip. but i guarantee you that you'll never 'rip your hands apart' as you say.

and yes, a vest may indeed be a fashion accessory. i've seen blokes train in tight little armani tops before. and as you say, they should be allowed to. but when the gym becomes a fashion parade, you aint gonna be too successful with your training - just my opinion.

Well i wear gloves for a valid reason i dont think they look that good as to wear them to look cool, and they also stink after a bit, but they also stop my lo'real hand cream from rubbing off my hands to quickly as that stuff is expensive!

I have the worlds sweatiest hands, I still wont wear gloves or straps.
During deads my grip fails first but I wont go down the glove route.
But to each his own.

I have guages that I use every day at work and they are rusty from my sweaty hands.....lol

Gloves don't help me much when it comes to grip and callouses dont really bother me, but can't do deadlifts or bent over rows without straps as my grip always fails first.

Also. As for them being a fashion accessory, the gloves i wear are my old mountain biking gloves, not a pair of Specific "WeightLifting gloves" just purely to soak up the sweat that walking makes me produce.

Maybe i should try lifting bare again but i dunno like i say, if i can lift the Iron like this i'm happy. Aint like my forarems look disproportionate anyway cos i got no biceps anyway.
And anyway i get enough people looking at me like i'm an idiot in General day today, when i got a mohawk and walk around in combats leather jackets and steelies. SO i can handle a few more laughs, long time since i been phased by that!

hahaha

i wear gloves.....my hands are worryingly soft ;)

Beklet · 13-04-2008, 05:01 PM

I wear gloves because I have really small hands and a weak girly grip - still have callouses though! :biggrin:

Galtonator · 13-04-2008, 05:07 PM

I tried gloves and they do help with soft hands but i find i get a better grip with bare hands and liquid chalk

shauno · 15-04-2008, 12:05 PM

i use gloves too

No gloves - chewing the calluses is a form of stress relief and extra protein throughout the day.
