>hurr durr gloves are for pussies!!
Why do some of you memetards keep spouting this shit? It is literally more comfortable for your hands, you dont get blisters or callus on your hands and the bar becomes less slippery from all the sweat.
Whats next? You guys throw out your matress too?
>hurr durr matresses are for pussies just sleep on a wooden plate
>hurr durr a soft couch in the livingroom is for pussies just use a wooden bench if you wanna chill in front of the tv
>>35693124
and it also offers some part of hygiene. Unless you like to touch the same metal Pajeet and Trevon just touched after pissing or whatever with their aids-infested hands
I used to wear gloves. I felt that, while comfortable, I actually had worse grip on the bar since the material tended to be less tacky that skin. And you would look retarded chalking up gloves. Maybe if you're really old and your skin starts getting brittle is excusable.
>>35693124
Kekked @ wooden plate
>>35693183
then you must have had shit gloves
>>35693190
whats funny about it?
There's nothing wrong with wearing gloves. Just make sure they match your purse.
>>35693226
enjoy your nasty aids hands
Hurts much to fap with callus on your hands faggot?
If the grip is the problem then get a pair of straps, gloves are just gay and useless
>>35693256
>straps is more convenient than gloves
They're good if you're a girl that gives handjobs often and needs soft, delicate hands
How about you quit being such a bitch and get some man hands.
I don't know of anyone that says "I want to lift a lot of weight and get fuckin jacked bro" but then pulls out a pair of gloves because "I want to be comfortable"
Motherfucker. You probably don't even know what hook grip is. I hope I don't ever see you irl curling 10's in the squat rack with your bitchmade gloves on.
You know what? Just go kill yourself OP. That's probably the best thing to do
>>35693226
>being so insecure in the gym you dont wanna wear something because its more comfortable
>omg people will call me gay if I do!!!
never gonna make it
This is now a Calluses thread
>>35693282
>comfortable
My hands dont feel uncomfortable gloveless though. I used to wear them when I started working out, then one day I forgot them. Didn't take very long to get used to going gloveless
>>35693124
sounds like someone's mad, also you're probably a manlet
>>35693325

>>35693323
girls prefer my soft hands :$
>>35693279
>I am the alpha male
Because gloves are not anywhere near mandatory and they don't help the task at hand (pun intended) unlike the mattress in your analogy (helps you sleep better).
Gloves are here only for comfort and more so if you're a beginner (since your hands wont have calluses), and provide a worse grip with less feedback.
If you want to wear them, wear them, who cares.
>>35693183
same, ppl who keep on using them like op are faggot who actually dl 60kg max and don't know shit
>be at the gym doing my pull day
>pasty-white skeltal comes in wearing gloves
>does cable rows with 15kg
>curls with 5kg DBs
>curls invisible dumbbells while resting inbetween sets
>does dips with shit ROM
most people who wear gloves are idiots and move baby weights
>>35693279
i want my cunt to do ss and whatnot, will her hands feel different? She won't become a powerlifter just get some strength
>>35693124
I'm not particularly for or against gloves, but those are some shit metaphors. The reason you don't sit and sleep on the floor is that it's fucking cold and you'll get sick. You don't, however, get sick from lifting without gloves.
>>35693434
but you'll fuck up your hands and its not hygenic
Glove padding slightly screws up the grip of pulling exercises and always will. You will never have correct grip with gloves. That is the advantage of chalk. And you look like a DYEL with them on. Gloves say "i don't know what grip is and refuse to learn". Just saying.
>>35693448
So many fucking retards. It's not hygenic to use public transport or do anything for that matter you dumbo. That's why you have immune system.
>>35693124
if you go to the gym just to be comfortable, you're doing something wrong.
>>35693448
If there was such a huge health risk, wouldn't most gyms make wearing some sort of hand protection mandatory? I seriously doubt that a significant amount of people get gym-AIDS from lifting without gloves.
>>35693473
If you go to the gym to be uncomfortable you're doing something wrong
No girl i dated liked my rough hands which were a consequence of my job.
Its one of those memes that you spout until it happens and youre like ohh, well this is it i guess.
Just wear gloves if you want to god damn.
>>35693201
>then you must have had shit gloves
it's a well-known fact gloves make your grip worse. Why do you think literally no records have been set using them?
>>35693238
>enjoy your nasty aids hands
>oh no I can't my fairy faggot hands get dirty
>>35693124
> not sleeping on the same bench you do bench presses on
Stay beta
>>35693317
How are my callus gains brah? Sometimes I clip them off with nail clippers cuz they start to hurt. Also sorry my hands are a little dirty from work.
>>35693486
finally someone that makes sense
>>35693519
i bet girls love it when you give back rubs with these hands
nah but seriously if it happens when you are working your heavy labor job its understandable but there is no reason to fuck up your hands while lifting
>>35693537
>but there is no reason to fuck up your hands while lifting
gloves make you worse at lifting though. Imagine trying to do farmers or something with gloves on, it's just not happening
>>35693550
how does it make it worse? youll get less blisters and callus
>>35693569
>how does it make it worse
because you're adding a moving surface between your hand and the implement.
>>35693584
then hold your grip tighter you fucking pussy
>>35693537
>i bet girls love it when you give back rubs with these hands
R u srs or joking??
And my job does have a good amount of labor involved, so I already had calluses. But i don't feel the need to wear gloves because I feel that bare hands and/or chalk gives a much better grip, and it helps toughen up my hands a little more. I do wear gloves all the time on the job to protect from hear and sharp edges and the like.
>>35693591
are you an idiot? It's well and good saying hold your grip tighter but when you're carrying 130kg in each hand you don't want anything at all that would weaken your grip
>>35693618
Heat** not hear
>>35693623
it doesnt weaken your grip idiot
You can grip the bar better with bare hands than with gloves. Deadlifting especially sucks with gloves.
Of course, if you use straps this becomes a non issue.
You can do whatever you want, but there are legitimate reasons to not use gloves other than "hurr durr alpha".
gloves are good if you have wrist problems. That is if it has the wrist strap.
>>35693124
It's clear you don't lift any real weight, probably don't grip correctly and apparently too stupid to know what chalk is.
>>35693693
shouldn't we be motivating him on /fit/ instead of putting him down. At least he lifts.
>>35693637
>it doesnt weaken your grip idiot
yes it does. Why do you think no records have been set with gloves on?
>>35693124
>mfw you just described life in japan
>>35693711
they use straps which is the same thing only more annoying to do everytime you go to the gym
>>35693724
>straps are the same thing as gloves
>>35693637
Gloves severely weaken your grip. Why do you never see anyone pulling real weight wearing gloves? Is OP actually this stupid or just dyel? A pair of gloves will never compare to the grip you have barehanded with chalk.
how many guys do you see deadlifting 180kg with gloves ?
none exactly
>>35693739
pretty much, the same principle
>>35693724
And who the hell are they?
Not powerlifters. As for strongman they only use straps when lifting like 900 pounds which a pansy little fruit like you couldn't lift in a billion years.
>>35693124
Weakens grip strength and makes pulling heavier more difficult
Also callouses increase overall power due yo discomfort
>>35693724
>straps
>same as gloves
Tfw there are real humans this stupid actually living on earth. It just makes me sad for you...
>>35693256
I've actually cut my dick with calluses on my hands
>>35693708
I don't care about motivating someone who starts a bait thread and is too stupid to realize the night and day difference between gloves and hand grip. Also OP seems more concerned with hygiene and giving soft massages than ever lifting real weight. I honestly wish he would find a hobby better suited to his sensibilities. Maybe handball?
>>35693756
No it's not you utter melon. Straps STRAP you onto the bar, gloves don't.
>>35693757
It's also worth mentioning that in actual tests of grip they don't allow straps (with weird exceptions like the frame carry at the Arnold).
>>35693124
the only time i wear gloves, it is for the wrist support as i couldn't find wrist wraps in my state, only gloves with wraps sewed onto them.
the calluses stop forming after a while, chalk for sweat, and you are a pussy
>>35693141
homegym masterrace.
>>35693273

>>35693124
5.5plate DL. No gloves. No blisters, hardly any calluses.
>>35693637
DYEL???
Why the fuck would I need gloves?
Useless on bench
Useless on squat
Hindrance on dls
Useless on OHP
Other lifts don't matter
>>35693807
>he doesn't have any accessories or ancillary lifts
if this isn't your first couple weeks of lifting, you are doing it wrong...
even SS has you add in more lifts than that.
>>35693811
funny how /fit/ is the most insecure board of them all
even /r9k/ has more confidence
just wear them if you like them, christ..
>>35693226
hi 9gag manlet
>>35693279
I dont use gloves because I dont really feel like I need them, but it really seems like the only argument you guys have against them is "Its gay (for some reason)"
>>35693819
>not engaging in rampant faggotry is "insecurity"
i have sex with men, and weightlifting gloves are literally too gay for me.
i would rather give a blowjob in public..
>>35693843
hating on gloves is a /fit/ meme
nobody seriously dislikes them unless some really insecure faggots
>>35693843
>>35693843
>wanting soft, velvety smooth hands isn't gay
protip: women like men with rough hands...
>>35693843
i sit on a buttplug while frotting with my boyfriend but wearing gloves in the gym is a bit too gay for me to be honest family
>>35693859
>nobody seriously dislikes them
i don't seriously dislike the gloves, however literally everyone i have seen wear them IRL is a DYEL beta faggot, who i disliked.
it is more the personality type that wears gloves that is disliked
>>35693859
Not really. I take it you are from America and train in some nice, upper class LA or San Francisco planet fitness gym? Anywhere else in the world, people will laugh at you for using gloves.
>>35693864
no they actually dont
>>35693888
just as letting your wife have sex with other men takes a certain personality type
>>35693888
>hating on dyel beta faggots

>>35693913
no they dont stop making shit up
no girl says oh i would love to get a massage of you while your callus cuts in my back, mmmm so relaxing
>>35693908
>if you hate me for being weak ad dumb, you are insecure
whatever helps you sleep at night, beta faggot.
just realize everyone who actually lifts is silently judging you
>>35693936
>being so insecure you keep insulting personally
>implying there arent plenty of people with gloves that actually lift
>>35693932
>you massage by sliding your hands around
confirmed for shit-tier massage skills
you use primarily finger tips and elbow...
i give 10/10 massages, made a living giving out massages in a mall (unlicensed) for a good 6 months charged $30 for 15 min, made crazy cash
if you smear your hands around, you aren't really massaging
>>35693982
>he doesnt use lotion
also its not about giving a massage massage its about gently stroking her and getting her in the mood
Look OP, I know you want to protect your pansy-ass palms so you can keep giving your wife's son velvety smooth handjobs, but some of us are actual men
>it makes it easier to hold heavy weight
While true, it doesn't make your grip stronger. I'd rather just develop better grip strength and circumvent the need for gloves altogether
>>35693976
>there arent plenty of people with gloves that actually lift
i have yet to see one IRL..
as far as i understand it, people who actually lift stopped wearing them in the 80s
also insulting beta faggots is hardly a sign of insecurity.
The biggest guy in my gym wears gloves
now wat ?
>>35694000
i do use oils, actually (aromatherapeutic oils, because lotion is pleb-tier.
and you can use your finger tips (especially thumb) to "slide" through a muscle, you don't slide your whole hand around... there is no focal point..
you just give shit massages, m8
>>35694039
thats not what your mom said
>>35694028
ask him for husbando.
rare to find a gay hottie who lifts.
>>35693843
>>35693859
THEY WEAKENN YOUR GRIP!
How fucking hard is this to understand?
Try pulling your heaviest deadlift with gloves then try it with barehands and chalk. Night and day fucking difference. read the thread dipshits. There is a reason the strongest guys in the gym moving the heaviest weight don't wear gloves. ffs
>>35694065
i dont think hes gay he keeps hitting on women
>>35694055

>>35693124
It prevents you from developing grip strength as effectively. Everything else you said is a fair point, but better grip strength is worth the pain.
Everyone with gloves is either a homosex or dyel. Homosex part confirmed by my homosex friends who needs to give smooth handjobs, dyel confirmed by my friend who uses gloves for anything above 40kg and didlys 1 pl8.
Girls either like rough hands or not. My gf hates it, all my exes loved it because it made me more manly. However my gf also didlys and has fucked up hands so she has no right to complain.
>>35694571

Sure brah. Enjoy your begginer no one cares e-stats.
I bet OP uses the neck roll / bar wrap when he does squats.
>>35694780
i am sure no one cares... still true, and unimpressive..
i have my lifts written from the first time ever in a gym:
ohp: 115 x 5
bench: 145 x 5
dead: 240 x 1
hip thrust: 215x5
highly unimpressive..
>>35693124
oh the bait
When i dead lift I hold the bar where the red line is rather than the black one because it's more comfortable. Are there any downsides to this?
>>35693124
>Whats next? You guys throw out your matress too?
I dunno about that, but then there's the 'tards that try to convince you to stop using soap and shampoo when you shower, basically just wet yourself down and wipe the dirt off onto a towel. Because girls just love dirty guys who smell like a combination of old ballsweat and crusty skidmarked underwear.
>>35693124
Actually, OP, I'll tell you what's up with /fit/ in general: /fit/ is so full of insecure little babbys, that they can't possibly show any sign of any sort of weakness, and in fact will overcompensate for their crippling insecurities by making everything as difficult, painful, and brutal as possible, to prove to the world that they're such manly macho men, which is ironic since they're usually none of the above. Meanwhile secure, mature, intelligent Anons who lift and train do so in a moderate and consistent manner, take reasonable safety precautions, don't get injured from being stupid, and make decent gains. Oh and it's worth pointing out that the worst of the cripplingly insecure bunch around here are the steroid fags, who literally will inject shit from questionable sources just because they think they'll look good and people will finally accept them -- which is body dysmorphia in the extreme, because they end up looking like circus freaks. Stick to your guns OP you'll do fine.
>>35695868
if you start lifting heavier weight you'll feel its looser than what it should be (black line)
>>35695868
Actually, it's the proper way to grip the bar according to Mark Rippetoe.
