i run a set of these



no wrist wraps or anything, just simple gloves

i used to go gloveless but ive been wearing them more and more lately. they are nice on pressing exercises as they give a nice grippy area for the bar to sit in so it doesnt slide or roll around. alot of the bars at my gym dont have much knurl left so they dont grip as well, gloves really help for that. with gloves, the bar stays where i put it in my hand whether im pulling or pushing or whatever.

my grip is really fucking good so i dont care about developing a tiny little bit of shit grip from not using gloves. so the pros out weigh the cons for me

as for deadlifts tho, no gloves and i use chalk
