Wedding Ring??

[Flipperman2a2w]

I take mine off- I wore it to the gym a few times and ended up with some marks on the metal from the knurling on the grips of various pieces of equipment. I think my ring is a combination of white gold and some other softer metals, though. We had them custom made, so I feel like the least I can do is take it off when I work out.

[Garage Rat]

Don't wear it because of safety issues when training and don't want to wear it out with metal to metal contact.

Exactly this for me too.

[CHILDOFGO12]

My hubby and me wear our rings, and we have no problems

[wrhalljr]

Used to always put mine on my key chain before I went into the gym because it really did bother me (and still does)...However after a late night home and forgetting to put it back on I never take it off now!! Didn't really enjoy spending the night sleeping in my car!!

[Browns7213]

I take mine off as soon as I get home and don't put it back on till I'm ready to leave the house the next day.

Twenty years of wearing a wedding was never a problem except on monkey bars. My ring is very modest as I was damn poor when I bought it and now the diamond chips are getting loose. So I bought a rubber ring from safetyrinz for $8- and if someone can hurt themselves wearing that...

[TiberiusClaudis]

exactly this for me too.

Do you wear any rings while you lift? I never take mine off but am i taking a risk?

I don't wear mine. I took it off when I started rock climbing, and haven't put it on since. I don't want to scratch it, or get my finger gloved.

[GnomusMaximus]

I don't wear a wedding ring. I have never liked wearing rings, they drive me nuts. Wife knew that when we got married. The deal was I had to wear it until the end of the reception. That was 23 years ago, I occasionally break it out for weddings and funerals. Other than that it sits in a box....at least I think it does....nobody's got married or died in a few years so maybe she pawned it.

Exactly what I used to do but my ring started digging in to my finger causing pain during the heavy lifts so my wife actually suggested I leave it off permanently because of that which I have

[mcapote3]

dont wear mine. why give the bar an excuse to mess up your hands more than it does.

Going to need a face pic to answer this question. But with no avi, I'm guessing no, you have nothing to worry about.

[K5Mathews]

I always take my wedding ring off before I lift.
The ball and chain I've worn since getting married won't come off though.

Lol! I take mine off to train as well but I put it back on immediately after.

[bodyhard]

Married 33 years only take mine off when I am having sex with a mistress.

[FltDoc06]

I always had to take mine off in the OR and also when I flew (with the Air Force), and as a flight surgeon I saw plenty of those awful "degloving" photos (and used them for training, too). As a result, I was always inclined to take my ring(s) off whenever I did heavy work of any sort, including lifting. The injuries may be rare, but it only has to happen to you one time to make you regret leaving it on. My wife

Unfortunately, one day walking to the gym in another city where I was on a work trip, the wedding band came off my shoelaces where I had it tied, and was lost in the street. I hope it was found by a homeless person. Anyway, I've been without a ring for the last 2 1/2 years.

[tomnationwide]

I put it in my pocket when I'm lifting heavy pull movements. For push movements it doesn't seem to bother me. I'm not religious so it has no value to me for religious reasons and it's only true purpose is to ward off bitches.

[Frnkd]

Ive taken mine off a few years ago, the tan line and depression of the ring has all but gone. I dont think twice and my wife is fine with it. I do sometimes think what impression people have when they dont see my ring...... The big D? ROFL

[jamescase5872]

Married 17 years, almost lost a finger with it at my last job, crushed it multiple times to the point of having to quickly cut it off, then lost it when I was installing sprinkler lines at the new house. Tried locating it with a metal detector as we knew the general vicinity, no luck.

Wife replaced it for me with a titanium, took it off for new job (medical field) and lifting.

Recent weight loss made it quite loose, lost it after burning my hand on some coffee at Children's Hospital outpatient Bellevue recently. Unfortunately the sporadic wearing not wearing of it made me not realize it was gone until we were home, 2.1/2 hours away.

Wife doesn't really care about me not wearing it, wasn't too happy about the loss of a "not cheap" ring. I'll probably replace it once I get to my goal weight. But I still won't wear it lifting.

[ISAID69]

I can't remember the exact term that ER Dr's use for people that come in wearing titanium rings but I know that it's quite funny. None of their tools can cut through the titanium so the next best option is to take the finger off.

I got away from a ring for awhile but then my wife got stage 3b cancer and the symbol thenbecame very important to me. You guys really should check out Safety Ringz and Qalo. You can wear them anything or easily take them off. Lose our break one and you're out less than $20-.

[roguewave]

JRT6 I'm sorry to hear about your wife. That would certainly make me think more about the symbolism of it for sure.

We've been married 34 years, and I seldom wear my ring unless we're going somewhere nice or to a dress event.

Almost lost it on our honeymoon. On a cruise ship leaving the port, standing at the rail doing the obligatory good bon voyage wave, when I felt it slip off. The things the size and weight of a small anchor, so you know when it moves. Saw it flying toward the pier and grabbed it mid-flight! Don't ask me how?

Stepped away from the rail still clutching the ring.
Wife asked what happened and I showed it to her.
The rest of the cruise it stayed locked in the cabin.

30 years in law enforcement and 12 with Uncle Sams Canoe Group, handling lines, climbing ladders, working with weapons, none of which were conducive to wearing a ring.

As a motor-cop, dang thing always pinched my finger on the clutch hand.

I don't wear it in the gym. Dang sure isn't conducive to cross fit, but other than the occasional punch when my grip is off, no problems elsewhere. I don't wear it there because I got tired of leaving gold dust on the knurling!!:-( doesn't make sense to do that much damage to a nice piece of jewelry that means something to you. Don't want it on my pocket (if I'm wearing pockets) just in case it would fall out.

[JRT6]

Thanks. My wife is in remission so every day is a glorious day. However I haven't lost the desire to wear my ring.

My wife bought me a nicer ring years ago and it slipped off at work and was lost. Since then I had the original resized to be tighter. That made it impossible to slip off and too hard to take off for activities which is another reason why I got a couple rubber ones.

[Athanasis]

I am not married !!!

(New to the forum, wanted to say Hi)

[BushcraftAl]

7 years this year, and I take it off to go to work or train all the time. So does she, so it's no big deal.
