    maybe some Michael Jackson rhinestone gloves would make you stand out or a spandex leotard.

    I wear gloves only on back night to help my grip not so all the guys in the gym are checking out how stylish I am. I highly doubt a chic is going to walk up to you at the gym and be like "omg I saw your gloves and just had to come talk to you!"

    Walmart. Cheap and work just fine. it's funny, I started wearing them for a while due to the callases but now I hardly ever wear them no matter what I'm lifting unless I go heavy and need to use straps also.

    Clearance section at Olympia Sports for me. I have never paid over $10 for a pair of gloves.

    Are you wearing the gloves because you feel you need them or for the sole purpose of "looking good". If its the latter of the two, well imo everytime i see a guy in the gym wearing gloves i think he is a dbag. It is usually the guys that come in in their cutoffs weighing about 150 and doing curls in the mirror

    I owned one pair in my life. My parents bought them for me with my first bench at about age 10. I havent worn a pair since

    yea like noles said.
    I'm embarrassed to wear gloves at the gym. I started wearing them because my hands would get so callused but the calluses didn't help protect enough. I got $10 Harbingers and wear them alot now because it seems like I can lift harder when doing awkward heavy lifting because palm pain isn't a factor that can hinder. I feel like I look like a douche wearing them, but I don't care. I also wear versa gripps versagripps.com
    they are amazing, especially for deadlifts, pullups/downs, rows, and shrugs. worth the 54 bucks. best investment in lifting gear.
