I'm not opposed to calluses. I personally think it makes a man out of you but my wife has a different idea.
So I picked up some Gripads for her and decided to order a pair for me while I was at it. Like most gyms, the one I go to doesn't allow chalk. I tried gloves but they start stinking so bad after a couple of sessions, I can't bear to put them on again.
So I tried out the Gripads and I have to say I'm impressed! The barbells at our gym are so old and rusty, there isn't even any knurling left on them. As you can imagine, this makes heavy deads a real chore. Plus, they are honestly super nasty, too. The Gripads work great providing a much better grip and a bit of cushion as well. The thing I love the most about them is they are small enough to just stick in your pocket. Lots less to carry around!
So if you see them for sale somewhere, it would be worth buying. They work great and don't look as SOV as you think they would unless you have the pink ones like my wife.
