I've been using an FT workout program for 3 weeks and, I've noticed that the gloves I wear are getting tighter! Is this due to the weights (I know this is a silly question):dumbbell:
Thanx

No it's cause your hands are getting smaller. :laugh:
I guess it could be the weights building your hands up slighty, or could be perspiration if they have leather seams then they could be shrinking.

Are you gaining any fat weight? If so this may be the cause of the tight gloves. I doubt that anyone can gain so much muscle in their hands in 3 weeks for their gloves to start getting tighter. Are you noticing that the gloves are tighter before or after workout? I think it's totally normal for the gloves to feel tighter after the workout. I always have trouble taking mine off after the workout.
That was a pretty dumb joke there sstump1 lol don't screw any more up.

Mail,
Uh considering that I'm already missing part of my left thumb due to a parachute accident, and other various scars, I'll leave it at that. Did you know that women look at a man's hands right after they look at the face? I don't want Frankenstein hands! Thanx though!

I dont have a problem with rough hands on a guy..
I'm trying to imagine a man with soft hands...hmmm..interesting thought...
But its a good question how bad using gloves will affect grip. I hope not too much!
I bought a pair recently becuz my callouses started to tear and thats pretty rough for a chics hands to get
not so good to brag about on a girl..

ok "girls"... if your hands are dry.. put some lotion on at night......the kind with moisterizers , aloe and vitaman E
If I shake a guys hands and they were as soft as a girls......I think he went to spa a lil too much.

dx the gloves take away from the amount of force you are able to exert when you squeze. I did not mean to offend any body! they are just a fashion symbol for working out at my gym gosh I hate ballys. And lec budy I am missing half of my left big toe due to a shop accident. But I still wear sandals ha!! :big_smile:

Never has a girl told me... I can't date you your hands are to rough and scared up.....
If you don't like my opinion fine, dont' take it....I like to hold the bar.....in my hand....I have better traction/ friction between my hand and bar....
for a guy thats 39.........your very jumpy....i'm done here......take all the jabs at me you want.....but one day you may actually need my help......for somthing.....and your not gonna get it.

lol....
don't even see the reason for their argument...or personal attack...
I used to wear gloves...went through probably 5 different kinds, including female type gloves....however, lifting without them...helps with the grip(not having that extra material thicken the handles/bar) and better traction betwene bar and hands....but to each his own...
who even cares about spelling in an online forum? are you a literature professor and it offends your love of the languange(lol)?
btw lets have some consistancy...BA is either a cheerleader(very obvious poke at his masculinity...albeit surprising...would't expect it from someone close to 40) or a meathead(very masculine but nothing upstairs stereotype)....otherwise it doesn't make any sense....even insults have to have some structure to them...lol...

i was a cheerleader in high school andrew, i give you credit, sometimes i think the guys have it rougher than the girls. keep up the good work.
i agree with menace...is he a meathead or a girl? he can't be both...

OK, maybe a silly question but it’s one that I felt needed to be answered.

Good! Very much appreciated, THANK YOU (again)

To me this means “Thank you! End of story”

Fine, this is his personal options!

This is the reason I were gloves.

Uh, what can I say? Calling other men “girls” no smiley no nothing! Smells like a very insecure young man out there?

Fine!
Lecter quote:

How much can he bench with his toes? This pertains to the fact that he wears sandals despite of his injury (get it? Fingers, toes?). I have part of my thumb missing due to an accident, where I should have been wearing gloves; I just don’t want my hands to look beat up (I think that’s my right)
BA quote:
“I gave you my suggestion(s)........you said you have to have them cause you have scares and part of a thumb missing.....is why you have to wear gloves.....which I don't see why......the scares are already there....and the thumb is gone too...I have scares on front and back of my hands from working around dogs( being biten).....

I never said that I wore gloves because I have scares on my hands. The reason “why” is because I don’t want anymore!

Clearly if you post publicly you will be opening to public scrutiny and what ever else may come along. Any question feel free to PM unless I fall under Riff Raff then never mind.

Boy, all this from a question about gloves.
Lecter - watch the name calling (riff raff) and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
I wear gloves because otherwise my wedding ring gets pinched into my hand and hurts a lot. I know, I could take it off, but I tried that and woudl forget and get to the bench and, darn it, there is that ring! Uncomfortable.
Now, I am used to gloves and feel that putting them on helps me get into the zone for working out - they signal to my brain that it is lifting time!
Let's all calm down and figure that lecter's gloves are shrinking, Andrew's hands are scarred but attractive, randomgirl is inoffensive and we all could use a spellcheck occasionally.
