i use gloves as my gym doesnt allow chalk. But I found that my hands don't hurt as much when doing shrugs - the almost dead skin hurts like hell.
I love em - but thats just me.

The longer you lift without gloves, the less you need them. When I first started lifting my hands looked like they were infected with leprosy (almost bleeding from the lifting). Now I just have a bunch of rough spots on my hands that have no feeling. Why get gloves? Just be patient and grow your own.

Usually when I get to the top of my deadlift I'll do a reverse-grip curl.

I don't think using gloves is a huge issue, they aren't bad for keeping the callouses down, but when they get nasty you need to chuck them or else they are self defeating. I don't use them personally and I would like to use chalk instead. IMO, never use wrist wraps unless you are lifting an absolute incredible amount of weight that you can just barely hold on to. I've never used them and I don't intend to. Same goes for weight belts, they are a crutch you don't want to lean on because they will make you weaker and not stronger if you rely on them.

Gloves seem pointless, unless you really want soft hands or something.
Yeah, I'm like Curley from Of Mice and Men, I wear gloves to keep my hands soft for my girl...

Heh heh, I might upload a video I made back in HS. It was called "The Blue Pearl" and it was a home video adaptation of The Pear I did for AP Englishl. Complete with Coyotito, Juanita, and I had my Canadian friend play the veternarian and he had such a strong French accent and low grasp of the English language, when asked if he could help a poisoned Coyotito on a shoestring budget, he said, "What do I look like, a Vegetarian?"
Comedy gold. I was like 6'3", 150lbs in that video and I did my own stunts.
HaHaHa! Sounds classic...you really should upload it! Yeah I love anything Steinbeck wrote... I've been reading "Travels with Charley"...which was published in 1961...only 7 years before he died. It's an awesome book about he and his dog(Charley) traveling the american roadsides..."Discovering america"...its really cool and gives great insight into the economic and political landscape of the 1960's...really cool read!

I used to lift without gloves in high school and at university. I had some pretty epic calluses. Then I took a gymnastics class and found out how painful torn calluses are. I started wearing gloves and now do so out of habit.
