Use of Gloves

**juggernaut** · 05-24-2009, 11:59 AM

I'm damn proud of my callouses. I keep getting them and slicing them off. My wife hates them but loves the way it feels when I hold her hand. She says she feels secure.

They are not like the one's you wear, don't they fall off once you leave the bar?

they sort of adhere to the bar, but yes, after a while they might fall off. It doesn't bother me though, just pick 'em up and do another set.

I find when using gloves, I am stronger on any lift where i have to use my hands.

So I use them because I care about getting bigger and stronger, if you don't
then don't use them.

And the bit about women not liking soft hands?
that's total bullshit.
You think girls like being scratched up? Most don't.

I get way better grip w/o gloves. With chalk, no comparison.

who said I was married to a normal woman? She's a bit of a "mega-bitch" in her own words. She wears it well. Kind of like that chick on toolbelt diva...but my wife is great at beating someone's ass.

Seems like shes the right match for you buddie....

I don't even want to imagine you two fighting or arguing or debating....

I wear golves during pressing movements because my hands sweat and the golves allow me to get a firm grip without slipping.

I also use straps for deadlifts and rows, but only on my max sets. No matter what you do, your back will always be stronger than your hands. I don't want to limit my back development just because I was too "proud" to wear straps.

we fight well together. If there was anyone I should be matched with, it's my Sandy.

We're opposites, but we fill gaps in each other's personality.
To this day, 17 years later, I still get butterflies when I hear her coming home from work.

Jugge, That's nice to know.......So you do have a good side

**Chubby** · 05-29-2009, 11:10 AM

I use lifting hooks when doing deadlift and bendover row to support my wrist joint. I don't use any gloves.

I just did a home back workout.
I have a hook for a punching bag hanging from the ceiling, but i just wrap my guita strap doubled over it and do zero grip pullups.
I then go under my double decker bed and place my legs on the desk under it, and put a bag with weights on my back and use the bars supporting my matress on the top to do rows and face pulls with weights in my bag. I then use the guitar strap inbetween the "spine" of the bars underneath to do like t-bar rows with body weight but i found the weight of my body + weights in my back to be too heavy when using my guitar strap and I end up getting sore red spots just below where my calouses are.

I would definately use gloves if i had them in this instance.

Guys here seem to be more worried about rough hands than anything else.

**T_man** · 06-12-2009, 10:40 AM

i just thought i would use a term everyone knew, just incase people overseas didn't understand

and my hands were actually sore, it hurt to write the next day, kinda like a burn

Hi. We're a new sponsor here. We agree gloves are next to worthless or worse. Which is why we make these. And I hope this does not seem self serving, (well it is, but people who try our grips always end up saying, "Hey, you were right!" so it's serving everyone.)

Anyway, if you're looking do a little more weight and get those last few reps, that's what we make these for. Yes, they'll protect your hands and make the bar feel really good, but they will really give you a better workout. We'll posting a few demo videos (we sponsor Muscle Beach Venice and film there.) By the way, Jeremy is a really serious lifter from Chico, California. And he does not say he likes something if he doesn't.
