but On the flip side if the only problem is sweaty palms then your grip is fine it's the sweat that's the problem.. and Wolf is right in that wearing gloves will make it a little harder since it will be more material to grab BUT... this is the flip side I was talking about...... gripping a "fatter" bar will HELP your grip strength. so I say if you like the gloves and they solve the sweat problem, use them because they are actually might be aiding in developing your grip.. even though it might not be that much as opposed to direct gripping work.
