Lol good one!I only wear weight lifting gloves when I apply fat burner cream to my stomach
I have bad carpal tunnel and I wear wrist straps every gym session no matter what muscle im targeting and I notice way less pain in my wrists/forearms/elbows.
I do hand lifting gloves that I wear occasionally for cardio on the heavy bag just because my wife bitches if I get blood all over “her” gym. Yes, “her” gym! Lol
I do also wear them when I’m doing any barbell work if I don’t have time to let the gym warm up too much beforehand. Sub zero iron is colder that a witches titty!
I used to always think that if you couldn’t lift something without straps then you shouldn’t be lifting it in the first place however I have changed my position on that as well and I use straps for shrugs and deadlifts and it has really helped to keep my wrist/forearm/elbow pain in check as well.
Yeah I’ve got carpel tunnel in both wrists. Fucking sucks!

When I got my first squat rack. I ordered up some gloves with the straps in em. Took some getting used to. I lifted in the basement with that rack and it sure was nice to have them on in the winter. But in the summer I could barley get them off. For me it was more for the wrist wraps. But eventually they ended up in the corner unused.
I guess that’s all in who’s wearing them. Lol I said I must be a pussy and I’m ok with that but I’ll be damned if your gonna call my Mechanix gloves Bitch Mittens!!!! Lol.
Also you big bad mofos think finger and hand calluses are cool but I guarantee if you ask your old ladies they are gonna tell you they prefer nice smooth fingers when it counts. Just saying……..
No gloves for me. Don't need them. I guess if they really helped, I would?
What is worse are guys using bar pad for squats......dear God. I'm not even talking about heavy weight either. There is something so "delicate" about a grown man using a bar pad....
How do you guys feel about face paint?
I was thinking about doing some road warrior or ultimate warrior or maybe sting (2000’s era) type face paint before back day tomorrow….
