I wear gloves for a better grip and to avoid calluses.

I only wear gloves when I do close grip bench. I had the bar slip out of my hands once.

Gloves tend to cause my hand to slip hence I haven't used them in 10 years. Not to mention I use chalk 3 days a week.

I have to use gloves. I get bad calluses and my hands tend to hurt after lifting without them. If anything I feel more stable using gloves. I've never had a problem with sliding. I'm looking into getting power straps for my back days.

Gloves take away from you're grip,when you squeeze the bar with gloves on you're wasting energy compressing the gloves kind of like the same reason you wouldn't squat wearing running shoes...... I just use chalk and besides the callisos I have nice hands jus saying.

I have to wear gloves... I'm a Hand Model...

I've never used gloves in my life because I have tough hands. but I've heard that they make a difference in bench press and free weight excercises.


Any comments?
