    I heard it compromises the strength of your wrists and therefore should not be used..

    Yeah I'll use them. I'll take them off for deadlifts...so you know the reason isnt to keep my hands pretty. Its just been a habit. I tried awhile ago without them and it feels too weird...been used to it too long

    Never use them. The main reason- look around at the gym and see who is wearing them. Haha, I don't want no part of that! The guys wearing the gloves are also the guys that are wearing the string tanks and matching pants with the "just got out of the shower" hair-do (lol) and wear a weight belt during the entire workout. LOL, these guys crack me up. If they focused on lifting as much as how they look they would at least be somewhat.

    Maybe its just the gym you go to.. are you one of the guys who thinks your its "weak" to wear gloves.. you think ppl are going to applaude you for being a "real man" by not wearing gloves.. grow up and stop categorizing.. lol

    I wear them to prevent callusisesessssess. But on back day I use straps....so all the cleans and shrugs are the only lifts that tear up my hands so hellmask sad , hellmask dont like rock hard hands cuz ladys dont like the feel and the only thing I do like are freaks and peaks cuz the stars are inline the bump and grind the big booty daddy is back inline.

    ...another baby here then..LOL...where I lift is neither heated nor air-conditioned, so gloves really help out with sweaty hands or cold bars...

    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    Yep..I use all the chalk too. Like I said..not to prevent callouses..mine are horrible. More of a habit since i started off with them. When I do bench or incline without them my wrists bend weird and its almost like I dont know how to lift w/o them

    Gloves make my skin peel like crazy! I use straps on back day and that is it. Plus, real men have calluses.

    You said it like you were joking, but it's true. Arnold says, "Only girly men wear gloves."
