Maybe a silly question...

Actually, it totally is..
Since I've started this program, (I'm 3 weeks in now and loving it) I have started to develop calluses on my palms. Would you recommend gloves or something else to minimize this?
I know it's a silly question but is bugs me...

It's personal choice

I wear gloves, but that's because my work revolves a lot around clay and water and a burst callus would literally be a pain in more ways than one

I know others don't use gloves. I'm not sure if they do anything to stop calluses or just embrace them, but I'm sure they'll pop in soon enough

I wear gloves but still get callouses....

I wear gloves because it hurts my hands otherwise (especially around my wedding ring) and I'd rather not get super calloused. but like pudding, I still get some callouses anyway.

I choose not to wear gloves because they hinder my grip. Chalk has been a help. The calluses aren't noticeble to me anymore. I never wear my wedding band working out though. Too painful!

I wore gloves for a year but still go calluses. Now no gloves still calluses but they are not noticeable

This might be a dumb thought but take off rings if you are wearing them. I started with trying to lift with my wedding ring on and would get callused. Took them off and had no issues after until I had grip strength issues (solved by switching to barbell for leg exercises).
