Glove appreciation thread

Redpill me on gloves

Insecure in the closet retards think protecting your hands equates to having sex with men because muh macho man masculinity

I've been going to multiple gyms since starting in 2011 and I've only seen 3 people using gloves. One was a very elderly man wearing them while using some dumbbells. The second was a developmentally disabled guy that used his tard strength to deadlift 5 pl8 like it was nothing. The third guy (whom I see every day I lift now) is a dyel manlet with a manbun who squats above parallel and does weird half deadlifts with 1pl8.

Which one are you, OP?

Drive was a cuck.he literally tried to save the day for his gf and gf's son

when you wear gloves you give up sweet hand gains for no reason, pretty much pointless to wear gloves. its like squatting with a pussy bar

but i have leather skin

There is literally no reason to use them and any attempt to point this out is met with implications of latent homosexuality

The only reason to wear them is to keep your palms and fingers soft for when you give your boyfriend his daily handjob/prostate massage combo

>have manly man complex
>dont wear gloves
>deadlift until my palms become callous
>callouses get torn and regrow
>the top of my palm is now a war-torn country with half-reconstructed remains and sharp hard skin edges
> scratch gf with hard skin
>remember the good old days before i gave a fuck about memes and lifted with gloves

Pretty much this. You only need gloves on pull days. I will put them on for certain tricep machine exercises since I got a fucking metal splinter on my hand last month from some shitty bar.

Mark Bell said one of his biggest regrets in lifting was not wearing gloves more.

>tfw unironically wore gloves for the first few months I began lifting

>not using gloves for your deadlift
>not using them for rows
>not using them for pull-ups

I mean, I guess if making fun of gloves is how you cope with being unable to do a pull-up, then do you

you won't need gloves and your palms won't get torn up on a deadlift if you're holding the weight correctly. Fix yourself.

If you can't do even a single pullup is because you are either too fat or too skinny arms. What has gloves to do? If your hands slips away because sweating just use magnesite chalk

Are straps gay too?

There’s no problem with using gloves. Just don’t rely on them all the time and you’ll be fine.
kek. Not that guy but I’ve been doing calisthenics for about 2 and a half years now and I use gloves fairly often. They are good for wrist support and protecting your palms from ripping appart on the more advanced stuff. Just like memelifters use straps, wraps, belts, shirts, specialized shoes, I need a simple pair of gloves to do my stuff.

I play an instrument so I have to wear them

but you guys enjoy your calluses

Normal people think they're gay for whatever reason.

In prison, If you had workout gloves that meant you were fucking ballin and people respected that.

Hand protection meant you could do more than if you were bare handed. Such as grabbing awkward items and surfaces that would normally cut your shit up. Keep in mind there are no weights, but maybe there was a splintered wooden bar you could use for pull ups or some shit

It's all a matter of perspective

Faggot, you obviously never touched a female, she sure won't appreciate your ugly hands.

>t. projecting virgin

Remember to buy gloves that matches your purse. If not you're a fag

No it doesnt do jack shit. You still get callouses and sometimes it makes the bar slippery.
Go but chalk, its more useful than your gay shit

I’d rather copy people I admire, not some random faggot on the internet.

I never understood the backlash to this. Yeah i know Arnold said something about it once, but i wear them because i like them. I also wore gloves playing running back for ten years in football so i feel kind of naked without them. It's almost a habit now, just part of my daily gym attire. They havent stopped me from getting big or hitting 1/2/3/4 so i dunno what the big deal is.

As if Arnold is some sort of messiah. Come on man. If he wasn’t under Weider’s wing he wouldn’t have made it in the bodybuilding scene.
Faggots on the internet have the crabs in a bucket mentality. Just ignore and do your thing.
