'Why You Should Wear Gloves in The Gym'

This is a fitness video about when Kyamints said that every good lifter should wear gloves and Ronnie Coleman is in it because he used gloves okay.

Gym is where everyone attends to improve themselves, not to judge the others, so you can wear just anything you want as long as it's approriate.

I don't mind the pain but when somone holds my hands I want them to think "he has very soft hands"

I wear gloves, it helps with grip, and my hands hurt like shit if I don't use them. I feel like the amount of weight I can lift is limited because I feel like my callouses are going to tear open.

Two months after I started going to the gym, a friend suggested wearing gloves to prevent calluses "because you're starting to move some real weight now buddy".
Dorky gym beginner me thought it complemented my shitty starter gym fit, and wore them constantly.
Threw them accidentally into the washing machine and ruined them, decided to rawdog that day because I didn't have time to buy buy a new pair.Realized without them I couldn't stabilize weights on most compounds because I was literally tying them so tight that they functioned as wrist wraps, while at the same time I could achieve better mind muscle connection without them on isolation exercises.
Struggled for a bit, regained my confidence and strength gloveless, and never looked back since.

When I started going to the gym, one of hte first things I bought was a pair of gloves. I did this since I'd thought that they would protect my hands from blisters.
After a while I realized that they didn't help at all, and I experimented with taking them off. But my hands get very sweaty during any activity, so I keep wearing them so that a barbell doesn't slip out of my hands during a bench press, or a dumbbell doesn't fly out during... Bench flies, pun.
I guess to each their own!

I wear grips so I can lift beyond what my strength limit would be if I had to rely on my grip strength to keep the bar in my hands. And I have a very strong grip. I wear grips to keep from building excessive calluses from lifting. I wear grips to cushion my palms from those bars that have overly aggressive knurling and will rip skin and dig in. And I wear grips to get an even more secure grip on heavy weights so I don't lose control of them.

I just bought a new pair of gloves yesterday since my other ones were still drying. I decided a couple months agoI will never go to the gym without my gloves, having hand and skin issues suck on their own, now lifting heavy, metallic stuff without protection is crazy to me. Good video

Wearing gloves will increase the diameter of whatever it is you are gripping onto, potentially trading the extra grip for a more open grip. In general, I'd suggest avoiding them to help train the hands in general, but there are times when they are beneficial as your hands are getting stronger, to prevent injury. Ultimately the goal should be to use them until you can get to the point where you don't need them.

That "yeah buddy" caught me off guard 💀💀

Some of our bars/attachments have very sharp knurling on them, and I'll throw-on my gloves to use those.

[shadwstrife]

a real man wouldn't waste his time judging someone on something as small as wearing gloves or not

[XneverstopfightingX]

You WANT me using gloves in the public gym. My hands leave behind SO MUCH dead skin and sweat that I wear gloves while driving and while gaming so I don’t have to worry about it.

0:27 imaging waking up to Ronnie whispering "Yeah Buddy!"

[SentientHairBall]

I need to get a pair of gloves. I'm a woman with very small hands and my hands are prone to drying out pretty horrendously. Combine the two and it makes it really hard for me to get a good grip on some gym equipment, which ends up discouraging me from using them

[Robot-Overlord]

I wear gloves because of bedroom reasons. Gotta keep these puppies from becoming sandpaper.

[Josh_estrada]

For me I would wear gloves cuz I don’t like having calluses on my hands
