for me, it's gape gloves (and the smells associated with them)
>>
Orange Juice nigger famously did some forearm and grip work in jail. This created a funny moment in reality court tv drama. The moment also meant the animal was judged innocent of killing the white whore and the kike 3rd wheel. Gloves matter.

they protect you from girl cooties at the gym

lol I would be amazed if anybody here knows what youre talking about. Let's be honest, that judge was bought. those gloves clearly fit.

They help cushion your hands.

You don't have to have crusty hands, use gloves

>>77285411
Indeed. But nothing of worth was thankfully lost. Some nice content got created. The proto-postmodernism experience.
>>
>>77285364
They're pretty gay and indicative of being brown. I am ashamed to admit I use them for pullups on my home gym rack, because the bars are extremely thin everywhere except on the wide grip handles. But never with a barbell.
>>
>>77285364
i wear them because my wife hates the calluses. i lift heavy tho so i still kinda get them
>>

Not forearm work he had arthritis and stopped taking his pills so his hands would swell up. That and wet leather shrinks when it dries

the gloves do?

I like the theory that he took the fall to cover for his son.

>>77285364
Useful for some excercises but generally bad since the friction of your skin is a 100x higher than the gloves so you have better grip going bareback
>>
>>77285707
why is wearing gloves to the gym so common among South Asians/East Asians and all of them in between?
>>
>>77286140
my grip (my literal grip, i.e. skin) is starting to become my point of failure on lat pull downs and other similar back exercises, would gloves or wrist straps work better?

I've never seen east asians wear gloves myself but I can imagine it's to maintain smooth aka upperclass pretty boy skin, probably more important in their culture. Honestly it's probably the same reason for jeets who don't realize they are fucking ugly no matter what they do, since they are drowning in narcissism and insecure delusions. The browns might also think the gloves make them stronger or look cool.
Anyway you don't need gloves to avoid calluses if you properly grip the barbell. Pushing exercises the barbell naturally rests in your fleshy palm on the red line, but for pulling exercises it should be along the blue line. You only get very minor calluses doing that, and they never tear.

thanks for the advice anon, there are so many people who say “raw is law BAYBEE” that I was almost convinced gloves are the antichrist

I wear them because one day for no reason at all when I was 30 I sudddenly developed contact dermatitis. If I don't wear them my hands crack and bleed over everything.

I had nice calluses, my hands are strong, just dermatitis out of nowhere and doctors have no fucking idea. The calluses on my hands were the first things to fall off.

If you want to wear gloves, ignore the faggots and wear gloves. Just don't get the leather ones. You'll sweat in them, they'll make your hands green or blue and they'll get all stiff and gross in between uses.

Get pic related. Stretchy material on the back, suede leather on the palms. Over time they will develop the smell of a rancid ballsack, but they work good.
>>
Only reason to wear them is if you have a cut on your hand that will get worse if gripping with bare skin. Otherwise just raw dog it and your skin will condition itself to the strain over time.
>>
>>77286615
this is genuinely good advice
I often get my hands wet while doing chores, working with frozen meats etc. my calluses just don't set in and harden quickly enough and end up ripping to shreds while lifting

dude literally just don't worry about it. if it helps you lift heavier reps/complete more reps, then it's going to help your results. use them if you need to, nobody is forcing you either way
>>
Women dont like gross cracked calluses on your hands. So if you enjoy touching women, you either wear gloves or spend a bunch of money on skincare and scrape your calluses manually.

(Gloves are easier).

You will also transmit less germs from gym equipment to your body.

>>77287004
now if you're going to be stupid on purpose, then there's nothing anyone can do to help you
>>
>>77286615
can you wash them at all? like can you just chuck em into the washer and dryer, or because it's leather it is destined to smell like ass?
>>
>>77285364
Gloves are good if you are doing lifts where your grip is the limiting factor, like heavy barbell exercises (Rows, deadlifts, shrugs, etc.)
Otherwise I recommend not using them so you can build grip strength.
>>
>>77287106
The palm side is suade leather. Washing them would almost certainly fuck them up. Like, the leather would start to break down. Anyone who doesn't have dermatitis like me could probably just put some talc in them, like the stuff you put in sneakers.
>>
>>77287108
Gloves have absolutely nothing to do with grip strength. AT ALL. Every kind of wrist strap and wrap, yes, gloves, no dude. You're still just gripping with your fingers and thumb.
>>
>>77286827
Nope I only fuck the tightest feminine buttholes. Bet you feel stupid now huh stupid?
>>
>>77286549
unless you are a masseur or a hand model or something I don't see the point in preventing your hands from developing built-in protection, it'll make things easier for whenever you'll have to handle heavy things outside the gym
>>
>>77285939
what do the gloves do again?
>>
>>77287595
One anon itt suggested that they cushion your hands but what do I know
>>
>>77287595
Match very nice with your purse and make you fabulous at the gym
>>
>>77287590
I wear gloves and lift heavy weight outside of the gym (your mom). She loves my soft, velvety touch.
>>
I don't like gloves because they add to the circumference of the bar needlessly
chalk + dremel-ing my calluses every 2-3 weeks
>>
if you wear gloves at the gym you better be really strong, cos it looks gay as fuck if youre not

other than that you probably want to use them if you are golfing or anything similar for the first time
>>
>>77289170
is that an issue? aren’t “fat bars” just free forearm training?
