main purpose of me wearing gloves is because of calluses and protecting my soft skin :p plus I strained my wrist doing push ups and floor exercises few months back..so the gloves help to keep them straight too.
It's because of the inverse of what the blue shirt guy is saying. Lack of the holding overstimulating your nerves let's your brain focus harder on the flexing of the muscle you flex.
Depends on the exercise. Pushing exercises not going to make a big deal. Or if using machines. And it depends on the gloves, some are thicker than others
I am a musician and I understand the concern about hands. It's not about the calluses, it's about avoiding wrist and hand pain. I have developed sore wrists as a result of heavier lifting and am considering wrist wraps to add stabilization during my lifts. Ultimately I cannot afford a hand injury or even hand soreness so I need to figure out how to lift safely without putting too much strain on my hands/wrists.
I wear gloves. As a magician my hands are important to me. Calluses would hinder what I do. Funny I had to stop playing guitar for the same reason. I get paid to have people look at my hands so I also get manicures before every gig which is hilarious because I’m a giant bearded bodybuilder. My biceps make for good misdirection.
Depends how thick the bar is and the size of your hands ,thin bar will put strain on your fingers,to thick gloves ul struggle to grip properly,there's a sweet spot where ul naturally feel a good grip,and ul be able to lift more because it takes the focus off your hands or any strain and you can concentrate more on the muscle your training and connection, I prefer gloves from my experience.
I’m in no place to answer questions but think of them like lifting straps. If you use them all the time, your grip strength won’t grow as much. Use them when your grip is giving out before the muscle you’re trying to hit. In my opinion I would have straps/versa in my bag but do my best to train without them so my grip can progress as the weights increase. Especially for deadlifts, I would use double overhand grip until my grip starts to give and switch to mix grip before busting out the straps. Use them as a tool not an extension of yourself 👌
Personally I think this applies perfectly for a smooth bar but if you have a pool up bar that has a rough texture gloves are pretty nice to be able to actually do more reps and not focus on the pain as much as form
I’ve been thinking about wearing gloves for dead lifts in the summer. I work out in my garage and it gets hotAF in there in the summer. It’s so hard to hold onto the bar while deadlifting. Chalk or gloves?

There is no legitimate reason not to wear gloves. Anybody that tells you different is a boob. The con is not choosing the right type of glove or the right fit.
