Hey all you T-Vixens, I have a question for you. I know every T-Man forbids wearing gloves while working out; but what do you ladies prefer? a T-Man with heavily calliced hands or a man that wears gloves with smooth, soft hands. I know we T-Men hold our heavily calliced hands as a trophy, or proof if you will, of years and years of dedication and effort in the gym. The question is, what do you T-Vixens prefer? just curious.
I wouldn’t hold it against anyone if they trained with gloves, but would definitely promote the sans-glove look.
I train without gloves, and I LOVE my callouses. They’re my battle scars, and also a great screening mechanism… if a guy holds my hand for the first time and jumps back at a little roughness - it’s probably an indication that he’s DEFinitely not ready for all of the T-Vixen that comes with.
Most guys (or anyone) who trains hard can identify it as an indicator of crazy strength and discipline… And so - recognizing that in a guy?
When I lift without them it tears the calluses off my hands that I built up drumming, and I want to keep those just the way they are. If I don’t I’ll have to tape my fingers which greatly effects my speed and power(behind the kit). It ain’t easy being a rock star;)
I always wear gloves…Why the hell would I want torn up hands? When you’re doing dead lifts, stiff-leg deads, curls, pull ups etc… there is too mhc potential for ripping your hands to shreds. No thank you. My GF likes nice hands anyway.
I don’t mind rough hands on a man. My husband is in construction and his are the hands of a hard-working man. Big, rough, meaty paws are kind of hot, actually.
I wear gloves when I lift and I still have developed some respectable callouses myself. I don’t really like them, but I’ll gladly keep them in exchange for what deadlifts have done for my backside!
well, ive built some some callouses from labouring and weightlifting and i have to manage them. This is done via a Razor and simple rubbing my hands together when in the tub nice and hard - keeps them smoothish as having a callous ripped off when im snatching my kettlebell is not clever or much fun.
I like lifting without gloves (i used to lift with gloves) because i feel like i have a better feel for the weights. like the weight is actually in your hand.

Might be a record setter for the use of “T-Man” in one post.
