I estimate these gloves were bought my sophmore year in college, fall of 2000 area. Making these gloves roughly 8 years old.

On avg, I lift 3 days a week, 50% of this 8 years...

making roughly 624 lifting days.

lets say on an avg workout, I move around 1000 lbs of weight (lifting, racking weights, etc, this is a rough estimate)

So these gloves have moved 624,000 lbs of weight, or 312 tons.

And on to the new for another 8 years

i bought some nike lifting gloves about 3 months ago. They are already toast. Do they have some sort of warranty, because I want my fucking money back.

:werd:

Knurled bars destroy my hands. And I have always used gloves, so it feels wierd without them. These have been REALLY toast for a year maybe

Couple weeks ago I was lifting and a piece of them literally fell off. I was all :sadwavey:

Does using gloves affect your grip at all? Its pretty obvious straps do, but you could go both weighs thinking about it concerning gloves. My hands are ripped to shit, I've got some gloves but I never really cared to use them.

dot, but I don't use gloves either. I like as much contact and control over the barbell as possible.
