Yes, I wear gloves now. I also wear wrist support. Much better to wear gloves since it is painful not to have it if the callous is really hard and hitting the bar handle.

[Frodohawk]

Yep, they are completely torn up but we've been through too much workout sesh's to throw them away.

CHALK BRO

[Hattori]

Short Answer: Chalk

When I was doing a body building regimen, I wore gloves. After researching for a better routine, I switched to Power Lifting/Weightlifting exercises - the basic barbell lifts - and never used anything.

When I went over 315lbs in Deadlifts, I decided to use Chalk. Chalk plus a combination of Alternating Grips for the heaviest sets I was targeting.
