    I wear ones with wrist supports ones where you can wrap around your wrist once or twice.

    I have harbingers. They work nicely but my grip suffers on any pulls, they're really thick.

    I have used Harbingers lifting hooks for shrugs, dead lifts, lunges, etc. I do have a pair of the cheapie Harbinger gloves, but not my favorite. As far as gloves, I used the Golds Gyms Gloves that Walmart Sales...already have the wrist wraps. Or U can get the Harbinger Gloves with the Wrist Wraps at Sports Authority for about $25. In 10 years, maybe gone through 1 pair, 2 pair the most.

    I used fingerless lightweight Harbingers for a year or so and I loved them. It really depends on what fits your hand the best so you should try a few different brands and sizes on in a sports store. You don't want them to pinch you anywhere and/or rub against your skin and create an abrasion or anything.

    No chalk allowed in my gym,

    Rosin bag is the next best thing.

    I do have harbinger fingerless gloves but have found that when I use them the bar just slips straight to the fingerless bit & feels like it's going to drop very soon.

    I prefer gloves and mine are Nike and I love them. Harbinger is also another great brand. Really, just get into a sporting goods store and try them on. Fit is most important.

    *Note* I lift heavy and use gloves but still have calluses. It's a price you pay when you lift but totally worth it.

    I just got gloves. I'd been lifting since October without them and it still hurt really bad. I'd get blisters under my calluses and I think the pain was holding me back from moving up on lunges and step ups.

    I'm all about the gloves....Nike fits my slender hands well. Fingerless.

    I shake hands A LOT in my job and my hands remain smooth and business-friendly.

    I'm torn about it. After seeing my hands post deadlift, my trainer said with a smile "You're going to get man hands!" as if this would please me. Why would that please me?? I want to be strong, I don't want to look manly in any way. But I digress. I have no gloves.
