Does anyone wear gloves when they weight lift and is there any negatives about wearing them?

yes they are a useless piece of equipment and the only ready some pros where them are prolly due to sponsorship reasons.

They make u sweat more and are just a stupid newbie thing.

I wear gloves.
Depending on the glove it might be a little harder on your grip because of the added thickness. It's also going to be less comfortable, obviously, than not wearing a glove, since you have to unstick the glove from your fingers and some parts press into your hand.
Neither of these is really a big issue, but then again, we're just talking about f*cking gloves here.

Good quality gloves are Harbringers.

I get really bad like callouses and crack skin when I lift heavy especially on for example the patterned grip on the ez-bar.

That's the only reason I wear em.

i love it when ppl negative rep u as u hurt their feelings. I bet u also use the pulldown machine too rather than chinups?

Well i just wanted to know is will people who dont wear gloves get a better forearm workout then people who do wear gloves or is there no difference?

I negged you because you're an idiot (and clearly a lot of other people felt the same way about some of your posts).

Like I said before the added thickness would hurt your grip, so it could actually make it a better forearm workout, but I don't think it's much of an issue.

The difference, if any, is negligible. Wear gloves if you are worried about callouses and the like, otherwise don't.

what posts wd that be? all my post have been legitimate and the only reason am badly in red is some loser with 15,000 plus put me into the red for hurting him, like i did u.

dumbass

You hurt me?

[CrimsonGolem]

I usually wear gloves, I did'nt wear them for one workout and had bad blisters on both hands becuase of it. They help with grip a bit too, I have not been bothered by any extra sweating comming from gloves.

i wear gloves to keep my hands smooth

it would literally just hurt too much for some exercises like shrugs and lat pulldowns

[MinisterOfLust]

When I wear gloves I feel my muscles are soft. I just use grippers

[Karnivore]

Girls don't like it when they are holding sandpaper down the street.

If you want to wear gloves, wear them. If you don't want to, don't. It's REALLY that simple. You don't have to have some snobby ass, super hardcore teen forum ninja attitude about it. Every big guy at my gym uses gloves, yea they're doing it for 'sponsorship reasons'. Maybe they do it because they don't like callouses ripping off their hands like I've experienced myself and seen it happen to so many others? If you don't mind that happening, then don't use gloves. Otherwise, just lift and shut up about it. In case you haven't noticed, it becomes extremely hard on the bare hands once you start lifting appreciable amounts of weight (that's not something you'd know anything about, XS Muscle). I just love when someone talks to me about using gloves and I'm sitting there deadlifting about 3 times what they'd ever do (if they even do deadlifts for that matter).

Summary: If you don't care about the way your hands look or feel, don't use gloves. If you want to, do it. If you don't want to, don't do it.
