I wear gloves. I go to the gym to lift. I'm here to learn more about lifting, not fashion.

I used to hate wearing gloves until my hands got all dried up and started to crack everywhere. I even thought that was ok until I thought about those rough cracked up hands touching a girl and how they would hate that. Now I wear gloves all the time. And you know what. My hands are still dried and all cracked up. I still spend my time picking at my callouses. I'll still wear my gloves in hopes things will get better. As for the grip, I try to find football gloves with the nice grips. I hate the weightlifting gloves with all that padding.

We had this problem all the time in the lab using latex gloves for extended periods of time, usually during the winter. What worked for us was slathering up our hands with the greasiest moisturizer we could find, such as Eucerin (in the tubs), and then donning the gloves. It felt a little weird, but we got used to it, and between the heat of our hands and the enclosed, moist space, the moisturizer seemed to be driven into our skin.
This won't work so well with lifting gloves because the moisturizer will gunk them up, but maybe if you wore disposable latex gloves underneath (from e.g., Walgreens), this could help. After your hands heal, you might not have to do it any more. I imagine your grip would feel pretty funky at first . . .

I'd rather do without them not because of fashion neccesarily but because I cant feel the bar when I have them on...and my grip actually worsens, and when my grip worsens im in a world of hurt.

It doesnt matter if you wear gloves or not, if they help you out wear them if they don't than don't. This is a ridicolous thread.

You know, i'm torn between both sides...
I used to wear gloves all the time, except for legs lol :p as i didn't like getting callouses. But then my hands got used to it. For the next 3 months i'm using a gym that doesn't allow chalk, which in my opinion is rubbish....but it is quite a posh place (student deal).
Because its posh the place is full of idiots who literally have very little clue of what they are doing...now when i'm in the gym, i too talk to no-one, other than to check if equipment is free or i need a spot...
But when im warming down...jeez...
My worst pet hate is people who wear fashion trainers to run...bad for ankles...and then there are people who train in their club kits, top to bottom...makes me wonder...and then there are the guys in the weights room...vests, beer guts, and trousers becuse they never train their legs and they are scrawny...
I hate the way the gym has become a fashion parade where i go...can't wait to change gym in 3 months (i have to wait that long til my contract runs out). I went to a proper bodybuilding gym once, and i scared myself into lifting PB's :p gotta join there i think, only fair....

I don't think it really matters unless you care about your hands?

Yeah I really dont care if people use gloves, I mean whats worse, gloves, or 70 year old naked ballsacks all over in the lockers? The people who really bug the hell out of me are the fags who shadow box the ENTIRE time they are there, usually in the mirror. Or the guys who wear the nicest shirts and jewelery to the gym. But the worst are the guys who just ****ing talk, non stop, about the stupidest **** while they hog benches and dont even workout. Its time to workout, not 20 minute story time!!

if you hate those types, then you must love the guys who scream into their cell phones while pretending to workout. "The cell phone workout"

you know what i hate, is those people who worry so much about everyone else in the gym. who cares if someone is wearing gloves? it has nothing to do with you or the weights you are lifting so just get over it and lift
This is the truth.

yea im not a fan of gloves either however ive had to start using gloves or wrist wraps for dead lifts and shoulder shrugs cuz the weight is so heavy (not tryin to sound all tough) that it starts to slip a bit if my hands are sweaty or somthing....but unless im doin deadlift or shoulder shrugs u will find my hands barehanded and rough like a real man

I wear gloves for every exercise, but I don't use straps, just don't lift heavy enough to need them yet. I wear them because the callusses get so bad they tear off. The worst part though is when your with your girlfriend with callussses. I can't imagine they feel very good goin over her skin. so I started wherieng gloves so my hands would be a litle softer, but now I ahve the callusses on my fingers where the gloves stop, oh well.

I don't have gloves, and look at my hands. They are in really bad condition, there are dry and rough. I used to have VERY smooth hands and chicks loved them. NowI have nasty hard, rough, dry hands. But I wopnt wear gloves cuase I can't get the right grip with them.
