Opinions on gloves in the gym?
Don't want to look like a fag but i'm considering for deadlifting really.
Just get chalk

my gym doesn't allow it :/ im in a contract atm, but moving to another gym that has more of what i need in a few months

just make sure you get a matching purse

Chalk for deadlifts. Gloves will mess up your grip.

Neither did my last gym, but they never said anything as long as I cleaned it up before I left

If you're lifting for gains then go nuts. Anything else is a no

don't forget to wash your pussy after the workout
Use liquid chalk, it's invisible and not messy

which brand do you use? i use liquid chalk too but its not invisible, it dries pure white on my hands. doesnt rub off on the bar though.

I used to use them, but as I got bigger and better I found that on pulls, they'd end up fucking up my grip and form for a lot of things.
Basically the only thing I still use gloves for now is bench press really because I'm going quite heavy and I have bony-ass pianist hands, and lifting without them can be extremely painful for me

Man I'm gay but I wouldn't be caught dead wearing gloves in the gym

I was getting nowhere with my deadlift. I just started using gloves and jumped 30lbs right away.
I've tried chalk.. Idk I have small hands and really need gloves.
I was also having major pain in my hands during the bench press. Using gloves have helped a lot and I went up 5lbs right away.
Home gym though so I don't have to worry about looking like a fag

For you
I like gloves. I had some made so that they fit really tight.
I wewr gloves and dgaf. Not one of those people who buys into the gloves are for girls shit.
HOWEVER.
I was at a supermarket that's right next to a gym, and in the evenings, the "went to the gym right after work and am now grocery shopping" crowd flood the place. There was this one guy who was picking veggies WITH HIS GLOVES ON. Because it's so fucking hard to take them off before you leave the gym and go buy food.

For you
I wear gloves for pull ups and pull downs.
Not for deadlifts.
Gloves are really unnecessary if you have the correct grip.
Just google it.
I never wore gloves, also never had calluses.
