Dumbbell grip - sore hands

[Cash]

sup.. Just got a new set of dumbbells with the traditional threaded grip, and my hands are sore as f*ck, which is suprising as they are top quality set - or is this is common anyway?

Is it a matter of getting use to it and waiting for my soft hands to toughen up, or should i invest in a pair of gloves?

I've seen many guys recommend not using gloves (especially at my gym) and this doesn't makes sense to me.. because well, they work. That and I like my hands softer, not all rough and callused up. I prefer this for many reasons but for example, when I'm feeling/touching the lady folk I can actually feel/enjoy them and don't end up scraping them with hands like sand paper.

I have dumbells at home and after a year, I now use gloves.

You all need to break out the chalk god damn it!!!

It ain't weightlifting without a ton of white powder everywhere!!! You should be leaving the gym covered in the stuff.

F*** yeh. That s*** should be in every crease there is. I can't imagine lifting without chalk anymore. I leave covered in the stuff. People probably think I do coke or something, I go into my bag before my big lifts and take a shot of ammonia and I'm covered in all this white s***. Not to mention the heavy rock I put on in the background. Heh

Deadlifts for the win!!!

Thanks for your ideas.

Need to toughen up these baby soft hands, so i'll try and get used to it for now.

I'd worry less about gloves and more about the view up your skirt doing SLDLs.
