:what:

Please let me know the logic behind is :aicomeon:

Gloves with wrist straps >>>>>>>~


@Serious I wanna see your back :leostare:

Gloves can slip when going heavy on weight...especially nikkas with sweaty palms. Since I've stopped wearing gloves for the vast majority of my lifts, I have gotten callouses, but my forearms have gotten bigger and I have better grip. No more letting go on pullups b/c of grip...etc. :krs:

that is literally the polar opposite of what 99% of people experience. Chalk + gloves = :busta:

Believable to me. Most of the cats I know who actually yam regularly are the 5'11 and unders.

Thanks to the nikka who recommended working out without gloves. :wow:

About one and a half month ago I couldn't deadlift more than 285lbs. with-out my grip giving out. Was daydreaming about doing some today and had a 2000+ calorie burger so I said fukk it.

135x5
185x5
225x5
285x3
315x2 :wow2: The little nikkas next to me doing pullups on the squat racks were saying I'm doing too much and quit before I break my back. :pacspit:
365x2
385x1
405x1 (On the way down was hell...I got my first warning for being too loud...3 strikes and I'm banned from lifting in the school gym.) :to:

that feel when you defeat the iron :blessed:

dropping the gloves and embracing these rough hands took me to the next level on DL too(as well as pullups :mjpls: )

you should keep the vid, as a memento :ehh:

practice squat stretches prior to lifting to improve your depth, most people have problems going low. but its necessary for proper form. That + a warmup set should help ur from x100

the neck protector is just sissy :ehh: but i wont stop you from using it
