well it seems to me that altho we`re all hardcore deadlifting badasses, that there are a certain amount of glove fetishists frequenting the forum and i thought how nice and anonymous these polls are, so lets find out how many of these freaks we have in our midsts.. :help:
the only thing i use sometines is 2 small rubber pads that sit nice in my hands. i have never botherd with gloves. The rubber pads i got free from a Bodybuilding mag.. i find them ok with overhand pull-ups, apart from that i use bare hands for all other barbell work.
I think there is a place for gloves in the gym. One gym I trained at was like the Uninted Nations and I think some of these members weren't used to deoderant or washing in the way we do here so the place smelled of B.O. to the point I wanted to go into a fetish shop for a gas mask and the thought of touching a bar with my bare hands after some of the stinkies had been on it really disturbed me!
I used straps when deadlifting bcos my grip was never as good as my lower back, 320kg x2 off the floor without knee wraps. The straps got washed regularly as did my gloves.
