I've never used gloves in my training and I have a number of callouses. They always hurt after a heavy lifting session especially when I get in the shower. Your hands get tougher though, so I think it's worth it to endure the pain. I lift weights without gloves. I’ve never used gloves in my training and I have a number of callouses.

It's a motorcycle pair, I think; I got it from the Singapore army surplus hawker centre place in Golden Mile food centre. There is no padding, but there is a good grip. I find I like the gloves because most of the time, my hand ends up smelling very metallic when I don't use the gloves... Actually, I use a pair of very cheap (S$2.50) gloves for gym.

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 :) Personally i use some small and thin “multi-purpose” training gloves from JD.

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.

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.
