What type of gym equipment do you use, /fit/?
I can't tell if those are Bowling gloves or gloves you use to touch kids with.

I see many dudes with these at the gym. Never got the balls to ask. What are they, and why do people prefer them over fingerless gloves?
The only equipment I use at the gym are the weights and also belts for weighted pullups.

Deadlifts and cleans fucked my shin pretty bad and it wouldn't heal for a month.

-Belt for working sets on deadlifts
-Belt for weighted chinups
Been thinking about using chalk, but i think i would look like a fucking tryhard using chalk to deadlift a little over 3pl8 x5

Why would you care - if it helps you, use it. Plus, there is absolutely no reason for not using it - chalk helps immensely with your grip

Jesus christ just get gloves. I remember seeing somebody using oven mits once.
I only use liquid chalk but I always bring a pair of gloves to keep in the locker just in case I tear my hands or something. It happened once.
Do you wear gloves so that you can give your boyfriend smoother handjobs?
Wrist straps are fucking Godly

I just got an abwheel, I'm still not 100% sure if my form is correct because I woke up this morning and my lower back was hurting, my abs hurt too so I'm doing somthing right.
I've seen tons of videos online on how to do it correctly and for the love of god I can't seem to get into the right posture .
it's like my brain has no communication with that part of my body.

Start cleans with bar above your toes, don't pull it over your shins. Bar should have almost perfectly straight path until contact with thighs. Start with your shoulders a bit in front of bar. Congratulations, you don't hit your shins anymore.

Your lower back is working on abwheel as well. Practicly, whole body is working on it.
>>35288020
Wraps, straps, what's the difference?
>>35288071
Ab wheels suck if you're a lanklet, puts a lot of stress on your arms and joints.
I prefer decline weighted sit-ups instead

Does your handbag match your gloves?

rippetoe how much do you weigh now?
Good gym clothes to buy?
I feel weird in an old hoodie and pajamas (no seriously).
Should I go for a tracksuit?
iPod
backpack (i'll leave my cell & car keys in there)
combination lock
shorts
solid colored T-shirt
sneakers
wrist wraps, belt.
>>35288252
Straps are for grip, wraps are for wrist support
Big difference desu
Knee sleeves (only on legs day)
Belt if I'm going for PR on deads or squat
Chalk
I'm so glad my gym let's me chalk it up.
>>35288512
oh yeah and my wallet

thanks for letting me know
Why would someone wear gloves instead of just growing callus.
>Hey anon, can you help me move this couch?
>Sure, let me get my lifting gloves for my delicate little hands.
It's like you want to be a faggot.
>>35288684
Because their ectomorph genetics prevent them from being able to drink a gallon of milk a day, do squats, and develop calluses.
Chalk, belt, wrist wraps, squat shoes and knee sleeves.

If you can find any, try technical pants. like tracksuit but cotton and elastic at the waist and ankles. feels ambrosial on the skin and stretches for your lifts
I have to bring my own Tsunami Bar with me because my gym doesn't own any
>>35288530
Oh okay, I meant wraps then desu senpai
>>35288398
Gasp makes some really nice mesh pants, would definitely recommend them.
I heard batting gloves are better than fitness gloves and they dont look that edgy because they are not fingerless. I want to try them
