I'm guilty. I'm the glove guy. I see the looks I get from the bigger guys at the gym, but I don't care. It's a "Save the girlfriends silk and lace panties" thing. After I started working out, the callouses on my hands were destroying her panties.....I don't feel that I need to elaborate. There are worse things than being the guy at the gym in gloves......such as not having the panties or contents to worry about destroying.

haha that's a funny comment about the callouses destroying clothing.
I am amazed at how many people use chalk. I never care to use chalk because I am not a competitor who needs to track my lifts to a T. So I will do double overhand until I cannot hold the bar anymore. Then, I put the straps on. Funny to see people hate on straps though. back strength is more than just having the ability to grip a cylindrical bar. |

When I'm doing back moves have no problem using straps. But for deadlift it's a move at least for me that requires you hold the weight yourself it's part of the lift.

I guess the glove comment was not warranted...I just included them in my rant. I can get people not wanting to tear their hands up though. Personally I can't wear gloves. Even working in garages through college, I just didn't have enough dexterity to work on small car parts with gloves on.

I never use a pronated grip. Always double overhand as well. Just never wanted to temp fate.

I have tried in the past with 405lbs with no straps, but my grip gives out after 4-5 reps or so. Plus I'm trying to focus on keeping my scapulae and lats contracted, and straps let me do that to knock out the reps I'm after.

.....but after the gym and showers, when I'm laying on my back, she has her thigh draped over my waist and I've got my hand on that ass.....there are no complaints. The looks I get, from the older guys, that you can tell have had a hard life, are halfway funny but scary at the same time. You can tell I'm the type of guy they don't like. (Oddly enough, my life has probably been more rough than theirs, but I'm a resilient bastard refuse to stay down.) |

I think my fiance would have far less respect for me if I had soft paws haha. She comes from a family of farmers and other blue collar jobs. If anything my hands aren't rough enough. When I gripped her father's hands for the first time I was almost ashamed of myself, those bitches felt like sandpaper. Even without wearing gloves and lifting for years my hands stay fairly soft (idk good genes maybe). Don't get my wrong I have calluses throughout my palms and fingers, but the surrounding area is fairly soft.

Her brother grinned and said "We didn't let her eat". He owns a stone masonry business and gripping his hand was like grasping a brick. And my hands are pretty rough.

True story. An older dude on the elliptical took off his shorts today, and did his workout in underwear.
Although I did have a chuckle to myself, guys without pants annoy me at the gym.

Sciatic nerve pain annoys me.
I just tell myself I'm getting old and part of the process. Nothing a little juice injected into the butt cheek called Neuroflax can't control

I haven't gotten to needing injections yet....but I will take a 3" Paint roller with a medium to firm brush on it, and use that to rub the area down. Hurts like hell, but feels so much better afterwards!

I had my vertebrae's Fused after an accident (lumbar rupture 3-5) so there's always some pressure on the sciatic nerve. But lately it's been a BITCH. I'm nervous I may have a hernia in my lumbar 1-2, but we'll see. I don't feel a thing right now though. Love that jooooose
