What's up guys! So I was training with my friend over the weekend. We were debating the age old question. " Is it better to lift with or without workout gloves or lifting straps. My friend seems to think that he is more macho than me because he doesn't use workout gloves. Lol. My opinion, I prefer to use gloves during certain workouts when lifting. Mainly cause I don't get blisters. But I kind of see his point (a little). But its not like they make magic gloves that enable you to pick up a house. Lol. I was curious what you guys think about this subject?

when i first started ididnt use gloves and i got a bit of blisters lol but once u get blisters it doesnt really hurt ur hands anymore when u lift a weight so idont really use gloves my hand has good grip already hahah but i would use a belt for my back.

Hahaha. I use to feel that way too. I've never tried the belts. I heard that they are good for you. When I first started working out I was too big. They didn't make em that big. Lol. So I got used to lifting without em. Hahaha. The only reason I started to use gloves was because my hands did hurt. I have a good grip. The gloves have that extra padding that protects the inside of my hands. My friend seems to think thats less manly.Lol.(even though I would put him to shame in the weight room.Lol.) I'm not into the lifting straps. To me those DO hinder your weight workouts. Just my opinion. What do you think?
