Gloves or No Gloves?

Who has to use gloves when they lift?

Myself since i have callous skin on both hands from beating off :) i can get a good grip and only use gloves if i need a pair w/ a wrist wrap.

I wear my gloves 24-7- they're called callouses. Gloves- I can't do it- I feel like I have a better grip without 'em.

never used gloves, never used belt, never used straps.
Fuck the Gloves! If your not needing a belt or Straps etc, your not getting it done properly! W/out the Core lifts, you will never reach your potencial!

No Insult Intended FE1 - I just cant imagine handling the heavy weights I move w/ out them! Not to mention the risk of injury, Fuck That!...Later:D

In order to constantly grow, heavy training is the only answer and w/out the use of straps, belt, wraps, etc, I would not be able to push as much!JMO..

i guess im taking "the hard route" so to speak. i'd rather strengthen my forearms, hands, and whatever else along with the muscles i'm working. i used straps to deadlift twice and put up damn near 100lbs more than what i rep bare handed. but i felt like i was cheating myself.

I never, ever, ever use gloves. Only wore them once, and I think they afford a worse grip than bare handed. I'm a chalk man.

Also, like fighteveryone, I don't belt, strap, wrap, crap, whatever else.
