Does /fit/ use gloves? Do you think wearing them leads to undertrained

>>42491856
they're for pussies who are afraid of calluses, and don't really do much unless you have a poor grip strength, which you should work on improving instead of compensating for with gloves.

>>42491864
Grip strength has nothing to do with the limitations of human skin strength.

At a certain weight you will be capable of lifting a weight that your skin isn't able to contend with, and then you'll tear.

If you think skin tears make you manly then I'd suggest you lose your weight belt as well, you'll be hyper masculine the more injury's you get, right?

>>42491856
they probably make your grip stronger. when i was doing heavier weighted pull ups with these i had to put a lot of effort to gripping. Once I stoped suing these and started using chalk instead my grip became firmer without putting much effort in it

>lose your weight belt as well

Weight belts leads to undertraining of the inner abs or so I heared.

>Does /fit/ use gloves?
yeah, when it's cold, or when i'm on my bike

see >>42491864. you can use a pumice stone to file down any callouses that are likely to tear

seems like a myth: "It is very unlikely that squatting and deadlift with a belt “makes your core weak” or hinders gains in torso strength." (https://www.strongerbyscience.com/the-belt-bible/)

>you can use a pumice stone to file down any callouses that are likely to tear

but why would i go to such lengths when i can just stop that from happening in the first place?

>>42492417
i don't wear gloves in the gym because they serve essentially no purpose and because pumice stones are cheaper. (bonus reason: pretty much everyone will think you're a tit.) if you grip the bar properly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZBmiQm4MF4), you almost certainly won't tear any callouses. in the event that you do generate unusually large callouses, then a couple of minutes with a pumice stone once a week will suffice to stop it from being a problem. but if you're set on wearing gloves, then wear the fucking gloves. why do you need our approval?

>>42492481
I don't need your fucking approval you cunt, just pointing out that you'd rather suffer for something that adds no aesthetic benefits whatsoever just so your gymbros will accept you.

>>42492508
i don't wear gloves, i don't tear callouses, and i don't actually need to use a pumice stone (though some people do). 'aesthetics' would militate in favour of not wearing gloves, so i'm not sure why you're mentioning that

go ahead and wear gloves m8. you've clearly figured out that the rest of us are plebs who mindlessly copy each other for no reason

can anyone speak good of these things?

just bought one today, I've just been squeezing it when my hands are idle but should I be doing specific reps with it like an actual exercise?

if you're going to use grippers, use something like these instead (they're decent): http://www.ironmind.com/product-info/grip-strength-training-tools/captains-of-crush-grippers/

thanks man

>>42491856
I used to, because I am sweating like a pedo in a kindergarden, but since long time I haven't used them. However, my main motivation is not to be a masculine manly man (which is all you sissies care about - to be perceived as a man, not to actually be a man), but to show the stupid owner of my gym, that he can actually let me use magnesium powder, because from hygienic point of view I am already making barbells dirty with pieces of my skin.

>>42491856
Magnesium carbonate is so much better than gloves.

>>42491856
gloves are gay
