dragknee66 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I have a pair of $10 Nike gloves. I mainly use them to avoid the rough skin on the hands and getting calis's where the fingers meet the palm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 nike breaks to easily , good looking gloves but they dont last long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Cool thanks, I didn't know if the $30+ dollar ones were actually any better or if I should just the the ~$10 ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Mine have lasted about 6 months already. I dont wear them during the whole workout, just while doing heavier stuff. My hands get so rough w/out the gloves it actually HURTS to lift when I get calis's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwishiwascool Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I use straps only when absolutely necessary. I've always thought gloves we're cheesy. They remind me of the dude who wears a weight belt, gloves, AND straps.... on the treadmill. Get the fuck out of here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I strap in when needed as well. Mainly for shrugs or pulls of some sort. But alternate between strapping one week and not the next. Gloves do look cheesey as hell, but they surely help my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I use gloves during self-love. I hate the feel of skin on skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 gloves are good when using bars dumbells and any type of rigded grip weight. other than that they are useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00ws6 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Wish I had gloves the other day.. was doing pull-ups on a metal bar and it ripped off my callous so now I have a large uncovered blister about the size of a quarter right under my middle finger. Feels great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Straps only when neccessary.... no gloves = manhands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94birdman Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 One has to earn the right to wear gloves. People benching 350+ and working out with 100lb dumb bells are worthy of the glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 No gloves, never used them the whole time I've trained. Use chalk. If your gym doesn't allow chalk, suck it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, the more people lift, the less likely they are to use gloves. In the powerlifting world you're a pussy lifting with gloves.

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I think I would rather be a pussy with no callous' than a badass with nasty callous' and blisters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 No blisters here. I don't mind callous' though, neither does the woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
