Do I need to wear gloves when doing dumbbell exercises?

Nowadays, girls like muscular men because they feel they are safe and have curvaceous bodies. When boys show off their biceps, girls get really excited. Therefore, when "boiled chicken" is no longer popular, dumbbells become the favorite of boys. They take them out to show off occasionally, and they look so cool. However, when boys practice with dumbbells, they will have a question, "Do I need to wear professional gloves when practicing with dumbbells?" The editor is here to answer everyone's question.

The editor’s answer is that you need to wear professional gloves when practicing with dumbbells.

Here are the reasons:

1. Prevent excessive weight from causing damage to the palms, that is, prevent calluses

2. Avoid using the strength of your arms to do work during strength training, so that the target muscles are fully stimulated

3. Prevent sweat from causing slippage during practice.

4. Anti-slip: It is necessary when your hands sweat and you are doing exercises with equipment, such as barbell exercises.

5. Protect your hands: No calluses, no scratches, but I personally think that only when you have calluses at the beginning will you feel a sense of accomplishment.

6. Find the feeling: For example, in combat exercises, you either wrap a belt around your hands or wear fingerless gloves, or you can’t find the feeling;

7. Aesthetics: They look good. Beginners generally think that only professional bodybuilders wear gloves.

Of course, some people say it is not necessary. Some people think that it feels uncomfortable to wear them at the same time and it becomes annoying after sweating. If you don't wear it, calluses will appear on your palms in about a week.

Since you need to wear gloves, what kind of gloves should you choose?

There are several types of gloves for dumbbells:

1. Full finger; 2. Half finger; 3. Wrapped around the hand. It is better to choose half finger, which means exposing the front half of the finger.

The size of the dumbbell gloves is very important. If you don’t have the right ones, you can choose slightly tighter ones. The price is generally between 50 and 200. It is recommended to choose one around 70, which will be around 50 after the discount.

Whether or not to wear gloves for dumbbell training can be decided based on your personal preference. We just need to be clear about the purpose of wearing gloves: wearing gloves is only to better protect everyone and give everyone a higher safety factor when exercising. When listening to other people's experiences, make decisions based on your needs and don't be bound by other people's opinions.
