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?

I think it makes a difference for people that don't have seasoned hands, it relieves the pressure of the bar on the hand. I prefer chalk if I think my calluses might rip.

I use gloves depending on what workout I'm doing. I usually have the gloves with the wriststraps tied tight because my wrists are bad and that seems to give them good support. But, for all the big workout I just use wraps. If you have a gym that lets you use chalk, definitely go for that.

Personally I like to use wrist straps without gloves. I the like to feel the weight in my hands, seems to help with control and use wraps as needed.

I'm with you on this one. I used strap on heavy rows, dead and such

i can't lift with gloves....my hands/fingers are too small and even if i get really small gloves they slide too much with the weight

Straps 'n wraps....no gloves. I feel less stable wearing gloves; I can feel the DB or BB shift in my hand and it throws me off. Maybe I'm a tard....but no gloves for me please.

Gloves just get in my way. Rather use chalk. Callouses grow back, little blood won't kill you.
