You must grip the bar like a retard.
>is it unpopular to take simple, practical measures to avoid injuries?
Yes. You should keep doing what you're doing or strangers in the gym will think less of you.
>>36853908
you should learn how to hold the bar
>>36853921
wrong
if op uses gloves he will never correct his retarded grip
>>36853908
learn how to grip the bar with your hands for fuck sake anon, dont hold it in the middle of your palm
>>36853908
Your grip is wrong. Read and re-read up on how to do it right.
>>36853908
I know it's generally frowned upon but I can tell you right now callouses aren't comfortable and if you're lifting for other people's opinions you won't make it anyway. I always use gloves and wrist support. Always. I don't want callous covered unfeeling hands
Guys calm the fuck down i know how to grip a bar, i was training my forearms by using My fingers.

Learn propper grip that does not leave a skin flap, pic strongly related. Wearing gloves does not save you from callouses and causes bad grip.

go shave your vagina, or make me a goddamn sandwich you candy-ass wristed fuccboi

He just stated a fact.

3+ years lifting, 230kg deadlift and my hands are okay, I just use propper grip and chalk.
>>36853944
just sand them
>>36853908
>endure this pain
I hate to think to what extent you push yourself when lifting anon
If thats enough pain to consider wearing bitch gloves and looking like a 10/10 faggot you may as well go for it as I can only assume you have the physique to match

thanks IT
>>36853908
Can anyone give me a reason not to wear gloves besides "gloves aren't manly" or something related? I wear them for lifting and it's much more comfortable. Also, what's wrong with a tampon bar again? I normally don't use them, but last week no one else was in the gym so I slapped one on before doing 1RM and it felt heavenly.

no need to waste the $20+ for a pair of fucking gloves
doesnt help your grip strength any. It's like using a belt when you first start lifting and can only squat and DL baby weight, it's not doing you any favors.
you're a fucking man. Your hands should be at least a little rough and calloused. If you ever have to do any sort of labor your hands are going to blister and hurt like a bitch because you've never allowed them to callous up some.
inb4 "manual labor is for plebs and poor people"
And you seriously look like a massive faggot if you wear gloves.
The spot you have it shows you don't know how to grip the bar
Next.

>not hook grip
lmao

I've lifted with and without gloves and I personally think wearing gloves feels better without compromising the lift. Saying they look gay and aren't manly isn't enough to convince me otherwise. If you can prove they will have a negative affect on my gains, however.... Appreciate your response though

If you lift more than babyweights, you'll do whatever you can to avoid calluses. Pedeg and moisturiser every day.
But op. No gloves.

Interesting, but still not fully convinced. I'll go gloveless tomorrow and give it another shot
>>36853944
do they match your purse?
>>36853944
Lets see that pussy bby
>>36853908
Work through the pain you pussy, you'll get calluses your skin will get ticker and eventually you should handle it with relative ease
>>36853908
No real reason to wear gloves for you. Just from looking, i can tell you grip the bar too high in your hands. Just learn how to grip properly and your hands will thank you.
Also, i had a female friend i used to lift with who wore gloves, but she stopped using them because after she started to lift heavier she was still getting calluses anyway. Your hands will be kind of fucked for a while because they will keep getting ripped up due to the baby softness of your hands. But after that initial stage theyll be fine.
>>36855314
You won't have as strong grip as you could have if you were gloves, plus's don't be a pussy
>>36853944
something something purse
>>36853944
Your bf must love getting hand jobs from your velvety woman hands
>>36853974
I honestly prefer the wrong way, I feel like I have better grip strength doing it.
Nothing wrong with wearing gloves. Just make sure you don't get any cum on it from jerking your boyfriends dick, it will fuck up the grip
do whatever the fuck you want, why do you need /fit/'s approval?
>>36856907
That's the illusion of a stronger grip. Doing it the right way will actually give you a stronger grip.
