GLOVES

66. GLOVES Unless you are used to manual labor, you'll notice after your first few training sessions that your hands will develop blisters. The way to prevent this is to wear gloves. You can use gloves specifically made for weightlifting or you can substitute golf gloves. Keep in mind that once you start wearing gloves you are committed to them. Your hands will never get a chance to toughen up and callous over. Forget your gloves just once and it's back to the blisters. Unless you need soft hands for your job or hobby (i.e. musician or surgeon), our advice is to give the gloves a pass.
