Why do you guys hate gloves so much? I know they don't add any functionality to my workout but I wear them to avoid callouses nothing more. If I forget to bring them to the gym then whatever, but if I workout consistently without gloves my palms get calloused up like crazy.

Callouses are a good thing, fucker.

callouses aren't such a bad thing.

it's really not THAT bad if you wear gloves but it's not necessary unless you're really busting your ass. i dont get why people who use machines use gloves.

if you're deafliting and do heavy olympic lifting (shit taht will tear your hands up) then yea maybe you should use gloves if you dont want callouses. but gloves with 12 reps of curls and bench press?

please..gtfo

Wearing gloves is fine, but remember to only wear a pair that matches your purse.

place the bar toward the bottom of your hands and fingers at the start so it doesnt slide and cause callouses. If your using heavy weight, just use chalk....

Explain to me the benefits of callouses then. Why should I not have spent $8 on gloves?

And no I don't just curl and bench...

wearing gloves affects the way you grip bars.

I understand the reasoning behind not wearing gloves and getting callouses that will in turn help you grip better... but I don't give a rat's ass. I like my soft hands. If that's apparently bad for my lifting, then so be it; it's my choice anyways, and it doesn't affect the rest of you.

just don't be the tool at the gym grunting/groaning and dropping the weights
everyone hates them

not trolling, but i hear suicide can get people out of some real sticky situations. my friend jimmy was stealing money from work (worked at a bank). well, the fbi came in and busted him. he just HANGED himself in the cell with his belt. jimmy was a really nice guy, he just got greedy i guess. but he got smart in the end. he wasn't prosecuted or even charged with anything.

Because gloves decrease grip in many exercises, especially pulling ones like deadlifts. If you want to use them to bench be my guest.
>> Anonymous
I used to wear gloves all the time.
One day I forgot them, did my benchpress with the same weight as I usually could, but for some reason I couldn't even finish my set.

Gloves prevents your grip strength from properly developing.

This. Gloves allow you to lift more that is proportional to your wrist strength.

Wearing fingerless gloves is a guilty pleasure that anyone growing up in the 80s can recognize. I work out just as an excuse to wear them.

You can get AIDS from bars, people don't wipe after the toilet. Then you go with your torn hands and rub that shit in.
