Ladies who lift weights: Do you wear gloves?

Question

I've been told that people shouldn't wear gloves while they lift weights. I've also been told people should. That's why I'm confused.

Answer

You should unless you want tons of blisters. It also helps you grip the bar better

Answer

I think it's personal preference. My husband wears wrist wraps but I don't use anything. My grip is better without gloves.

Answer

I use to use wraps but have given up for pregnancy as I had not been seriously doing weights long enough to keep doing them healthily !

Answer

I wear gloves so I don't have rough hands and blisters

Answer

Ahh yes with a proper wrist strap to keep your wrist straight, i have tendinitis and cannot train without proper gloves and strap combo.
Gloves/wrist straps minimise risks of injury, i guess its up to the individual if you do or not but there's no rule to it

Answer

I don't think it matters either way, I've met a lot of body builders that do and a lot that don't. I always wore gloves cuz my hands are more sensitive so I could lift better/heavier when my hands are comfortable in gloves, also when my hands sweat it's harder to grip the weights with out them sliding
