My hands get pretty sweaty when I'm at the gym so it's hard to grip weights especially when I do rack pulls, so I'm considering getting some gloves
My question is will wearing gloves damage grip strength gains and/or forearm hypertrophy?

I just don't understand why you think that gloves will somehow damage your grip strength. I don't know what kind of gloves you want to get, but the gloves I have don't grip the weight for me, I am still using my forearms to do ALL of the gripping. Gloves don't grip the weight for you. So it won't affect it at all.

The gym I use is very modern and clean, I don't know for certain but I highly doubt they allow people to use chalk. I've never seen anyone use it here.Originally Posted by SkeIeton

I use liquid chalk, works pretty much the same way if not better, pretty cheap considering how long a bottle lastsOriginally Posted by Arathor

I dunno, I guess I thought that because it makes it easier to grip you don't need to work the muscle as much or somethingOriginally Posted by Notavailablewhy

Liquid chalk is your best bet, never really makes a mess, much prefer that to gloves.

Put powdered chalk in a white sock and tie one end. Depending on the thickness of a sock, you can put chalk all over both your palms in <10 secs.
