  • oh man. when i'm doing pull ups, i use sponges (thick ones). and since i started doing that my grip got stronger. thats good if you ask me XD(whider the bar stronger the grip)

  • true

  • Next video - "Don't use weights at the gym!"

    Coming in April - "Don't even leave your house!"

  • ***strong enough, you need straps.

  • Gloves aren't for fags. Gloves are for bodybuilders, dedicated to train there bodies to be the best they can. Yea, if your just getting into bodybuilding, you don't have to have gloves, you have enough strength to do without, but once your body strength is progressing more than your grip strength and your lifting weight that has the ability to rip the skin off you hands, for instance lifting 400 pound deadlifts? Yes you need gloves so the weight won't slip out of your hands. If your grip isn't

  • i can use whatever the FUCK! I wanna use!

  • i went for awhile without gloves when i was small cuz it was less weight...but my hands sweat alot and ive had my hand slip off the side of the lat pulldown bar before. so i had to pick some gloves up and ive been using them ever since

  • I stopped using gloves regularly once I lost one of them and the new pair took forever to arrive on the mail, in the meantime I developed a little bit of calluses on the hands, and once I grabbed a girl by the hip she immediately said "wow, you got real manly hands", that my friends, got me sold... I only use gloves when I need it because of weight, but for dumbbells, bare hands...

  • I play real sports, im not trying to be the best at excercising

  • @SnipesTopShelf tell jay cutler and roonie coleman body building aint a real sport lil bitch, body building takes jsut as much or even more effort when compared to any sport.

  • @SnipesTopShelf hahaha i pity you child. ive done it all. football, baseball, soccer, gymnastics, mma, wrestling, taekwondo, kung fu, jui jitsu... and i can tell you bodybuilding is thee hardest sport ive tried. in football or soccer you show up for practice, work hard then go home. bodybuilding requires work and focus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  • I have callus's on my hands but I have to use gloves when I'm dead lifting a shit load of weight... cuz that's just not a nice feeling... and you're not aloud to use chalk at the gym I go to

  • If I don't use gloves, I'll have callus on my hands and my girlfriend wouldn't let me stroke her titties... Sorry, man.

  • I agree with this guy with his Dbag haircut. He is right about using gloves, as this applies to belts as well. Also, wearing huge, platformed sneakers when performing PL moves lessens the amount of anchor you have to the ground. Better to go barefoot, minimalist shoes, or in socks. Also, calluses help protect your hands, and here's something: You're a man. Why are you averse to having them? Do you want preteen boy hands? Gloves weaken your grip just as belts weaken your core.

  • @KingiRui

    because its bullshit I use them all time

  • I mean I'm not wearing fucking oven mits you tard...gloves are fine...most people wear them

  • lol k?

    

  • Wearing gloves at the gym is pretty gay.

  • For me, the issue isn't about callouses or grip. It's about skin infections. You have hundreds of sweaty people all grabbing at the same set of weights, getting their fluids all over everything and not sanitizing every weight after each use. Grabbing a dumbbell that's covered in some sweaty dude's essence is not something I want from my workout.

  • gloves are for fags

  • Did you checkout his new video? It says : Don't use your arms while lifting free weights at the gym.

  • How does grip even affect your workout?

  • @KevinBennettBeats if your grip doesnt affect your workout your not lifting heavy enough . do a few sets of shrugs at 600 - 700 pounds or some shit with 80 pound dumbells, you'll understand real quick. lol

  • @TheCraftyRedneck Sorry, I was high when I wrote that. Lol. Nah, I know. I was inclining 70 dumb bells and my fucking wrists were so rocked. I lose grip half the time.

  • @KevinBennettBeats a strong grip is essential to training progress, as most movements are dependant on correct gripping technique and strength.

  • Why does this video have so many dislikes? lol

  • gloves are for phaggots

  • @5amuu

    like you?

  • i dont know what gloves he wears but my gloves are thin and dont affect my workout at all

  • Haha whaaaat? That was a poor explanation for his theory....circumference? The most a glove would change is 2-4 mm in overall thickness...maybe a little more..gloves do not affect anything, it is all personal opinion and I think gloves help create comfort for your hands especially with heavy weight!

  • Then why are larger bars so darn popular and comfortable...?

  • BULL SHIT U NOOB maybe ur using winter glvoes...

  • Comment removed

  • give me a break....stfu

  • I've never used gloves, and quite frankly, I don't know anyone who does. Using them because you're afraid of developing calluses? really? You ought to get yourself out of the gym and over to the latest Reese Witherspoon movie if you're gonna be that much of a girl.

  • @zappafan136 do you think your tuff or something by saying that your a girl if you use gloves... well get calluses messes up your hands and skin in the future dumbass

  • @zappafan136

    I wear them occasionally on most pulling movements. I normally dont mind calluses, but I have a fiance and enjoy having smooth hands. Also, a big reason is I sweat a lot, and sometimes I've had weights slip out of my hands because they were sweaty. The gloves help absorb that sweat

  • I use gloves so I can keep working out without my hands hurting from calluses.

  • That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life.

  • @buckets2378 i strongly agree with you there

  • I strap pillows to my palms when I'm lifting. I'm actually seeing better results because of it.

  • your really not suppose to use gloves when you pull, i only use them on push days

  • you can tell he doesn't even believe the shit spewing out of his own mouth

  • I use thick gloves. No problem..

  • that's pretty dumb.

  • If anything, the textured surface of some types of gloves will improve grip by increasing friction. I tend to be able to do more reps when I wear gloves because my skin won't be ripping off my hands.

  • Gloves are counter productive?! *looks at 20.5" arms* Damn I missed that memo...

  • i just borrow mickey mouses gloves, what the problem is.....

  • Comment removed

  • Are you retarded? Gloves stop sweaty hands slipping off the handle + the reduce calluses + look cool :)

  • If you're gonna wear gloves, make sure they match your purse!

  • shrugs, dumbell rows, and lat pull downs kill my hands without gloves id rather lift heavier with them on ...

  • Lol @ this guy

  • ....now I know who I'm not subscribing to.

  • i use catchers mits when i lift

  • wat? gloves HELPS your grip.

    Especially if you're tired like me of working with your bare hands and sweating so much the weights slip.

  • gloves are not that thick asshole

  • dude gloves are not that fucking thick but hey its just advice you pussy

  • @JPinkert29 i know u watch hodgetwins lol

  • The women says to me,"No glove,No love."lol

  • Go fuck yourself you skinny bitch.

  • Comment removed

  • @euplot There is something called the "Freedom of speech"

  • most retarded thing ive ever heard :L what gloves do you use boxing gloves? :L

  • Gloves give u a better grip and more reps ..

  • my gloves are barely more than 1mm thick as opposed to your pad there that's nearly 1cm thick. try doing full stack on seated back rows without gloves and get back to me ;)

  • That's it? That's the only reason? If I can't stroke my mushroom tip without my calluses snappin' my shit up, then I'm going to do wear gloves.

  • I can't believe I watched this. I want my 30 seconds back.

  • bullshit

  • you can do more reps with your gloves which helps your muscles get bigger...thats why ppl use gloves idiots.............duh

  • @la7556 i hope that was a joke

  • mann.. if you want some gains.. im talkn about all TYPES of MAD GAINS.. lift dem bitches without the gloves. BUT ITS JUST ADVICE.. "insert quote"

  • gloves and rubbers are for fags

  • Gloves are for pussies. Use chalk

  • @rokajake87 hahaha

  • I have gloves from nike that are thin as fuck. so fuck you

  • fuck off faget! I can do whatever the fuck i wanna do!

  • larger circumference will increase grip strength over time you stupid fuck o_O you could have said they roughen the hands

  • Larger grips are better anyway, they obviously increase grip strength over time. Although I've tried both with and without gloves, fat and thin grips - no difference in the slightest apart from I can last longer with gloves due to the bar not ripping up the hands.

  • so uhh. increased circumference doesn't increase grip strength anymore? huh, weird.

  • wash the dishes by hand with warm water everyday and soften the calous

  • yh end up with Callous skin which hurts like hell!

  • WTF retard.. using gloves increases your grip strenght as it "increase" the diameter of the bar.. lol ignorant douche.

    If you'd be able to activate the few braincells of yours you'd know it's wrist straps you're talking about.

  • @Kennethdk83 put a towel around a bar. It'll answer this question and it confirm that you are the retard amigo

  • @Oblander no, it just confirms that you have no clue what you're talking about, but nice try

  • @Kennethdk83 whatever boss. Honestly, if calluses make it impossible for you to "touch lady parts," though i think your referring to them as lady parts means you've never had any experience with these parts.

    Calluses are nothing that would ruin any situation with a chick, while gloves make your grip strength weaker...in other words, don't wear gloves at the gym

  • @Oblander you failed again.. Seriously if you wanna troll, atleast get some knowledge on the subject. There's no logical or even physological reason to why the grip is going to be weaker using gloves, you still have to have a grib on the bar and you still need to activate the muscles all the same to keep the grib on the bar. Using wrist straps however weakens your grip. The rest is just a load of crap bro science.

  • Delete this video. Stupidest thing i've ever heard lmfao.

  • i have a better grip WITH gloves...

  • Wait, what? If I wanted my workout to be easier I could just stop going to the gym. I WANT IT TO BE HARD TO GAIN MUSCLE. Idiot.

  • u can work on grip other ways broo

  • Hmmm... workout to cut, once your cut get the girls, once you got the girl in your bed she wont let you touch her lady parts cuz you have yeti paws from not using gloves at the gym. Ill wear gloves..

  • Basically, if you want your hands to be in severe agony at the gym, have lumps of painful callouses and to have your hands resemble an 80 year olds ball bag. Don't wear gloves?

  • red light saber with the green handle, we meet again.

  • looks like you're against using weights in the gym too

  • Cool vid. I'm new to youtube videos and yours looks good. Just fyi - thicker bars enhance grips strength so your logic is wrong. But it will be detrimental to your lift if you are concentrating on you're grip too much - but this only really matters when you are doing heavy pulling movements - in which case you would use straps. So it really is no big deal to use gloves for most of your lifts. I think a bigger controversy is using straps. Nice quick vid though.

  • no gloves mean good hard hands

    gloves mean soft bitch hands and if ur skin is ripping a little let it rip cuz better skin will grow and dw its only dead skin that gets ripped off

  • @godsdevil100 What if I like my soft hands, girls seem to like my soft hands too

  • fat gripz are a waste,.just stick with real thick bar training.farmers walk with steel i beams,250lb anvils etc for distance,1 and 2 finger deadlifts,deadlift power holds with an apollons axle.blood and sweat!

  • Do whatever the FUCK you wanna DO!

  • Your reasoning makes no sense. A wider grip is better for hand strength, that's why people buy Fat Gripz. If you said "don't wear gloves that add wrist support because it hinders your wrist strength", it might make sense.

  • how thick do you think weightlifting gloves are!!!??

  • @artytat I was thinking the exact same thing. What would gloves add, maybe an eighth of an inch??? What an idiot.

  • stupid much

  • chalk ,sweat and iron.nothing else needed.i encourage the use of chalk at zeaus gym.i want my gym members to be strong and SAFE! just dont make a damn mess and use the vacuums available.

  • Chalk also works.

  • I play guitar and I gotta keep my hands taken care of. I use gloves.

  • I'm a female and I want to keep my soft hands. I'm using gloves

  • Everyone who lifts has calluses and gloves are gay

  • Hes actually correct.

    If you have calluses. Then your holding it wrong, and probely not using chalk either.

  • ive ripped my calluses off from deadlifting WITH gloves!

  • At first it will hurt, eventually your hands stop blistering and they will become rough and manly and wont have to worry about gloves works great for me :)

  • I wear baseball gloves when I work out.

  • I don't usually bash GAY men,but you sir are an asshole, really don't wear gloves. Anyway I can do whatever the fuck I wanna do!!!! BTW I DON'T EVEN OWN A PAIR OF GLOVES

  • How do you get nice manly callouses if you were faggy gloves? The only people that wear gloves at my gym are 50kg matchsticks or obese people.

  • I started using gloves when I lost half the skin on my hand.. can still grip the same amount of weight and i can keep my skin

  • i took serious mass and feel like throwing up out of my ass

  • i usually do a shit before i gym and rub the faeces onto my hand for a better grip, works all the time

  • @nathanportelli

    same here

  • i always use it at the gym so.. what are you saying i use special grip gloves same shit this guy is a total Moran and if you listen to him your quite the same

  • what the fuck don't use gloves, or a belt....whats next...no clothes?!?!?

  • I can do whatever the FUCK!! I wanna do!!!

  • @LOLROTFHAHA LMAO! That cracked me up

  • @davethedm I'm a serious mountain bike, bmx racer/rider and a plumber. I'm not worried about anything but preserving my wrists. I use to have to stop my workouts due to wrist pain. I think the problems started by lifting too much in high school. I use the wrap style gloves and haven't had pain from working out since. What do you mean by "your strength goes down", I'm not getting the full workout or it's detrimental?

  • I use gloves and last week i forget them @ home and went back to get them..wear Glove man, or you will snap all your shit up.

  • I wear gloves, because if i dont, i end up with fucking great blisters on my palms. I dont youse quarter inch thich gloves so the diameter of the bars isnt that much difference. I am a biker too, riding a bike isnt nice with no skin on your palms!

  • bollocks I forgot my gloves today and could not even grip the weights properly kept sliding of my hands and fuck calluses who wants them on there hands anyway dont listen to this dicks advice

  • its true.. but im still going to use gloves cause i cant get a grip because of my sweaty hands

  • Next video: Why not to lift weight made of Iron

    Next three videos: Three reasons not to where yellow T-shirts at the gym

  • But.... Gym gloves give me +5 to strength!

  • @ejkddorai rofl

  • This video is B.S.

  • @Oakdizzle Try lifting with a thicker bar. Your strength goes down because you are contracting your wrist flexors (anterior forearm muscles).

  • It kinda is better to not use gloves while working out. When you use gloves to lift weights, you might be able to lift more, but at the same time you're not building up your grip strength.

    What's gonna happen if your gloves are not there?

  • everybody know gloves are for pussies

  • moron... I suggest you remove this video asap.

  • this dude is stupid

  • This is some dumb advice...

  • I dont think the top comment understands english. the video is about making grip easier, not working out the grip strength.

  • 1mm of material is going to weaken my grip strength? Are you smoking drugs?

  • I don't use gloves at the gym but now i will just because you said not too.....hahahhah

  • BE HYGENIC AND RESPECTFUL TO OTHERS AND WEAR GLOVES PEOPLE.....no one wants ur sweaty dirty hands all over the weights...and/or blood from popped calluses

  • This guys got it all wrong, the calluses and rough hands are exactly why you should NOT wear gloves. Fuck feminine artistic hands

  • i wear gloves just for hygiene, i dont wanna grab the dirty ass weights that 100 people have touched throughout the day. what a fucking moron, stop being a bitch and speak with confidence . lookin all puffed out and big but you aint nuttin but a bitch! shit makes no difference its still light weight and nuttin but a peanutt!!!!!!

  • man i havent had gloves for like 5 workouts and on my last workout i had to do all my sets with my skin all fucked up hurting and burning like shit man, all those cuts open dripping blood all over the dumbbells, i was fucking slipping on puddles of my own blood man. That shit was nasty i lost 2 fingers that day doing some deadlifts, the bar would just slip off my hand cuz of the blood lubrication. My advice is, WEAR GLOVES

  • @MAUROtele You lost 2 of your fingers? Can you still weight lift?

  • @MAUROtele holy fuck!!

  • @MAUROtele i lost both hands after a huge workout.but the hooks i have now work great and are a real chick magnet.ARGGHH SEZ I,...

  • @MAUROtele lol you have baby hands, ive never used gloves my entire life, no problems at all.

  • @Hahnspree WOW u actually think all i said was serious... u sir, have a very sad case of mental retardation

  • @MAUROtele

    I agree with you, I got the same problems as you. Can I have a question? I have gloves, but its irritating my skin. I can do hand wrapping, what do you think is it good for weighlifting or bad? Or is it just good for wrapping you're hand for boxing etc. thx for the answer

  • The circumference will only increase by the thickness of the glove, which - unless you were working out with oven mitts - is neglegible.

  • I use gloves and my grip is like 10 times better than without them...try to fucking deadlift without gloves and you will rip your skin out of your palms

  • I think we found Jimmy Struggles down the street; he doesn't use gloves to lift weights, but he does use em when he jerks off

  • @valon18 Jimmy Struthers is gonna snap his shit up!

  • what a stupid reason not to use gloves

  • Boy did this video backfire.

  • Sorry i use gloves so i can focus more on the muscle im building and not how much the bar is tearing up my hands ^^. 

  • Love this, calluses on your hands are the sign of a real man.

  • Larger grip, by what, 2mm?

    Why do you think people use 'Fat Gripz' you nonse!

  • use the fucking glvoes!

  • >wearing gloves

    >looking like a huge bitch

  • gloves don't make your grip stronger, lifting a heavier weight does.... which is harder to do with gloves.

  • i don't use gloves only while going heavy on bench... ...beucase like he said it is a bit easier without gloves... ...but on the other hand - you have to work that much harder with gloves and i am not affraid of a hard work out... ...for a 1rm - without gloves, for 10 reps - with gloves...
