Gloves: Many bodybuilders have used gloves to improve their
grip in certain exercise, as well as prevent callusing from
occurring. Another method is chalk, which, when put on your hands,
can also improve grip considerably. If you have sensitive skin, or
for any other reason feel you would benefit from the use of gloves,
then by all means invest in a pair, which should not run you any
more than 10 dollars. If you do develop calluses, this will also
toughen up your hands, and make the use of gloves non
essential.
