Do you use lifting gloves /fit/? Are there any reasons NOT

the hardest part about using lifting gloves is telling your friends and family you are gay

Only use them when absolutely necessary, like when maxing, because of the reason you already mentioned. It inhibits the body's ability to naturally grow a stronger grip.

>>41535088
No. If you cant hold the weight, work on your grip and forearms.

I would wear them to the gym but they won't allow my matching trench coat, fedora, and katana inside.

What about wrist wraps? I have thin girly wrists and am prone to ganglian cysts. Can I wear something like pic related and not look like a faggot

Use them for pushing motions, otherwise you look dumb.

im actually thinking of grabbing a pair

pendlay rows are giving me callouses and picking them off is getting annoying

Reasons not to use them;
>less grip on some lifts
>needs to be color coordinated with your purse

Good luck telling the fellas and ladies that you can't lift because you don't have your lady gloves on you.

>tfw I never used to use gloves or straps
>tfw I use gloves now because I'm over 30 and my hands hurt without them

what are you lifting weights or making sandwiches?

If no gloves, you're gonna make it.

If gloves, you're gonna need to get back inna kitchen and make my sandwich, bitch boy.

>>41535088
chalk, not gloves. only unsuspecting noobs use gloves. anything making your grip more than thick, even a glove, will eventually hamper your overall grip.

Always use gloves, women complement me on my soft hands, don't want to lose that.

Plus fuck callouses.
