I’m currently doing my weights without the gloves, and it hurts! Not only that, my palms are getting rough. Not good for us gals. :-(

Anyway, am hunting for a good pair of gloves, any recommendations?

Yup, lifting without gloves definitely feels better - a direct contact between the hands and the bar. Kinda pain at first but as the skin thickens due to the calluses, i felt nothing now. Bout the calluses, any way to remove them ;P ?? Tried to peel it off, but the skin thickens, just like the one on ur middle finger.

Harbinger makes the best gloves for weight training - no doubt about that. Fully washable, anti-bacterial, etc. I just got myself a pair from EGONutritions after my online purchase from ebay never reached me.

Yeah, I’m liftting weights without gloves too and I’m having calluses on the base of each fingers, on both my hands! Worst still, I found out the longer I do weight lifting the more veins popped out from my hands! Overall the shape of my hands are getting rough too. ;-( Too bad. The good thing I’m getting stronger, especially my bones. :-)

I’d been thinking of getting gloves for sometime, but I haven’t find a nice looking one yet (you know la, ladies always wanna look nice *giggle*), There’s 1 I saw at Nike women but it’s damn expensive (over RM70) so forget it!

Below are the steps of how to remove calluses from my one of my student, who also plays the harp. Since harpist like all string players do get lots of calluses from playing the instruments:

To remove a callus, fill a bucket/tub with the hottest water you can stand and soak the affected limb in it; if the water is extremely hot, you should only have to soak for about 5 minutes. Once the calluses have turned completely white and soft, use a blunt object, such as the dull side of a dinner knife, to scrape at the white calluses. DO NOT use a sharp object, cut, or saw at the callus. You will destroy your skin, cause scarring, and likely cause the callus to return larger than it previously was. After you have scraped off the majority of the dead skin, use a pumice stone to gently sand the area.

After you have scraped the callus until the white is gone, wash the area gently with soap and dry. After the area has thoroughly dried, you will know whether or not the entire callus has been removed. You may have to repeat the removal process two or more times before the calluses are gone.

After you have removed the entire callus, the skin is still likely to feel rough, though not raised. There are several ways to soften the skin. One method is to regularly steam the area. Unless you have the proper equipment, this method will not be effective, and if you do have the right equipment, the process can still be a lengthy one.

I have not try this though because I’m so lazy….sounds like a lot of work and it have to be done sevearal times.

i still have a question wondering in my head……does weightlifting makes you short or stops growth?

i haven’t used gloves in like 2 years

i only use heavy lifting grips

If you are serious about weight training you would have invested in chalk by now.

I tried without gloves, but my palm sometimes sweat, so depends, if my palm not sweating i will go without gloves, if sweat i have to go with gloves.

I am using kettler gloves thank-god it is washable. as leather gloves tends to have hygienic problem if you use and do not wash it often.

Seriously guys, just buy chalk. That is what any (Olympic) weightlifter or powerlifter does. And for good reason. The article is right, cushy gloves gives anyone major grip problems with heavy weight. Try doing doing a heavy snatch with gloves on! Chalk works wonders. It strengthens your grip, prevents moisture from sweat, reduces callous formation. It is also dirt cheap.

Personally i use some small and thin “multi-purpose” training gloves from JD. They dont provide major protection or support, but are good all rounder gloves and i find them perfect for me, as i dont like training with massively padded or restrictive gloves.

It feels pretty much like doing it bare handed, but with the callous prevention and a touch of support. Also means i can go at the punch bags for short bouts, as i prefer to wear wraps to gloves. However, they wont do you much good if you go at it for a prolonged period of time.

Hope that helps anyone who feels the same as me :)
