I just started working out two months ago, One of my calluses got torn off while deadlifting only 175 pounds. Do any of you lift with gloves? Lifting without them is painful each time because my skin gets pinched and its kinda bothersome since i am not even lifting that much weight.

I got it from being a very experienced weight lifter. Gloves give you a better grip. This better grip allows you to grasp the bar better and lift more weight. It also helps to prevent bar roll and loss of grip that could cause injury. My gloves also have a wrist strap that locks my wrist into place and also helps prevent injury. Lifting with gloves makes weight lifting easier which means you lift more and heavier.

Calluses and Blisters

Some people find these unattractive...

Yes, faggots. Women love when a man's hands are rough, scared, broken skin creases etc. Women do not want your hands to be soft and feminine, only faggots want that.

The knurling should be far more than enough. Gloves don't increase grip, grip is force applied by the hand GRIPPING the bar. Unless your gloves store tension they don't help grip. They may have a better surface for increase friction on the bar, but that isn't grip. Also the funny thing is that calluses do precisely what you use gloves for.

tldr: earn some calluses faggot.
