You should avoid gloves, embrace the callus.

OP here. This is basically what I thought. I lifted a lot in high school (~6 years ago) but one of my buddies recently was talking about how much he liked his gloves.

I now know he also likes cocks, thanks /fit/

That site is shit. Whoever wrote that article has never heard of friction, which is the main reason people wear gloves for heavy labor (not having callouses being the second). The decreased radius of the grip surface pales in comparison to the rubberized textures of the gloves. Not that I would ever wear gloves or anything, but just because some jackass agrees with you doesn't mean he has any idea what he's talking about.

tl;dr you may be right, but you're also a moron.
