Literally a meme.

So are the following:
>gloves
>belts
>lifting shoes
>skinny sweat pants
>underarmor
>wraps
>preworkout
>creatine
>protein powder
>earbuds in the gym

If you do any of those, you have some serious fucking issues.

> I wear a belt for deadlifts
>preworkout when I feel low energy
>creatine

I guess I am an autist then

they do work, your forearms will be more needed

but is much better to have a forearm exercise than using it to diminish the biceps effort

What kind of autist puts the penis protector around a barbell?

At my gym as soon as you're done using one it goes into a basket with the dirty towels, boxing gloves, etc.

They ruin your lift, have no idea how normies can use them
>>
>>36928944
they work. Great grip training, though you probably look like a tryhard if you don't lift 4plate.

>>36929141
What does this (you) meme mean?
>>
>>36928974
he is right you know
>>
>>36932529
that it's summer already

What do you mean "work"? They make the bar thicker and thus making your grip the limiting factor for a lot of lifts, that's what they're designed to do. So they do what they're designed to do, if that's what you mean.
>>
>>36932625
but why wouldn't you just do weighted carries or hold on as long as possible on your last rep of deadlifts instead if you want grip strength?

I use them for exercises which already require me to be holding dumbbells at my sides; lunges, shrugs, standing calf raises. For those, they're great at working forearms.

But for exercises where you have to actually move the weights around, I feel like they interfere with the movements more than they help.
