Gloves or no gloves

[Knoxville]

What's everyone's opinion on wearing gloves while lifting weights? I started out using them when I first got into it, but the padding on the inside kept me from having as good of a grip as I wanted. For example, on dedlifts, I took the gloves off and chalked up good and was able to pull another 50#. I have since developed such callasses (sp?) on my hands that nothing bothers me. Just curious of the benefits or disadvantages.

gloves are for posers and fags, do you wear black leather shorts and doctor Martin's boots as well LOL

get a razor skin calous remover, one a week scrape them in the bath, and wash the bath out after or you'll get your arse kicked by your lady like me LOL!

I do not wear gloves. I would never own a pair of black leather shorts!! I own doc's but wear them with the appropriate clothes.

I hate gloves - I think they hinder my lifts. If I want to protect my hands, I use my straps....

I wore gloves for about three years, then forgot them one day and found out that I didn't really need them. The wrist wraps on the gloves were useful though.

I use starps. I don't like gloves because the grip sucks and I get the some of the same calous where my fingers and hand meets as I would with out gloves (from the skin getting pinched between the glove sliding and the bar).

I don't wear gloves because I just don't like them. I was never able to find a pair that fit me anyway.
