What do you wear? Gloves? Belt's? etc?

[CobraUTAH]

I don't use any of it anymore. I used to wear a belt and gloves throughout my workout but not at all anymore. If I go real heavy on deads or squats I'll throw on a belt for a few reps but that's it.
I did hurt my elbow so I wear a elbow wrap during heavy curl and back exercises, but that's it. Do any of you wear equipment for regular lifting or only for maxing. I'm going for 290 or 295 on bench tonight which will be a PR. I'd like to use my buddies gloves for the max lift maybe give me a bit of an edge with a better grip. Should I do that or stay natural?

Guys don't wear gloves! So, I agree, chalk!

I have never used gloves. I have used a belt in the past but not really much anymore. My hands are getting wrecked when doing deads though, so I might need gloves for dat. I will be using chalk first to see how that does!!!


Oh, and I hate straps!!!

Cobra, good luck later man!!!

I'm not a fan of callouses...but i'm getting them anyway underneath the gloves. I just don't like bleeding on the bars. Stay natural if you can.
