I say yes to gloves . . . my girlfriend hated all the calluses, sores, and blisters that I developed on my hands and fingers as a result of going bare (plus I wasn't too big on them either). I changed to gloves and now she doesn't bitch ;-)

Only during winter (no heat in the shed).
Down side: losing all the callouses. Up side: grip work, winter gloves add some width to the bar.

I got nothin' to prove by toughing it out. I prefer to rid myself of any distractions while lifting, and gloves are a big advantage in doing that. My wife's breasts appreciate it more too

I have been using New Grips for the past several years.
I have found them much better than gloves and are very flexible with regards to training and no calluses.

my girlfried used to bitch about the same rough hands sh*t so i tried the gloves ( actually bought a good pair ) and it totally screwed up my workout, guess they were too padded or something, so i don't use them anymore but i did by a pumice stone from CVS and use it to grind away calluses after shower. that seems to work well now.

i found that my grip improved ever since i STOPPED wearing gloves...
it was like the bar was more prone to slip out of my hands with them on.

I wear gloves because I'm a guitar player and if my hands get all ripped up, playing guitar isn't very enjoyable.

Callouses=God's gift of free gloves for us poor men.
Real men aren't afraid of callouses, that is unless your a pretty boy. I'm more of a mountain man so soft hands aren't good.

I wear gloves when the garage is so cold the bar feels like metalic ice.
When the opportunity has arrived,
The time for preparation has past.

i didnt used to wear gloves. but my hands got so thick i would pick at he rock chuncks not thinking about it and befor i would know it i would be bleeding all over the place. Plus when i have really good workouts i get so sweaty i lose my grip from the sweat. now i always wear gloves. Keeps better grip for pulling exercises and my hands stay flat somewhat...

Used to wear gloves.
The last month I have ditched them
I tried rack pulls last night with gloves, thought it would make for an easier lift - WRONG. I soon threw them to the side in disgust!!
Now they only hurt if I wear them!!My PowerLifting journal!

I fully agree with you regarding rack pulls.Originally Posted by TKDUsed to wear gloves.

The material of the gloves is kinda thick so I can't really "feel the grip on the bar."The gloves are now left in one corner to gather static,wonder when I would ever use them again...My goal when I come in everyday is to make sure if somebody beats me,it is not because they outwork me. ~Layne Norton.

I have to wear gloves because my hands sweat a lot and without them the bar just gets too slippery. So until my gym starts allowing chalk, I'm going to keep using them..
Fukit though, whats the big deal?
"Do you think SHE actually felt like that was a sexual thing he was doing? She's like 6. Only an actual p3do would think that she thought he was groping her, too."
"Not that it's impossible to touch a minor inappropriately, but it is true that a 6 year old girl will not recognize someone putting a hand on their chest as groping, whether it is inappropriate or not."
