Lifting Gloves Make the Exercise Harder. The thicker the bar, the harder it is to grip it. If you ever trained with a fat bar, you know what I’m talking about. Gloves add thickness to the bar. This is especially hard on exercises where the weight is pulled downward out of your hands. Like the Deadlift.

But
thick bar training will make your grip and forearms stronger. There is a trade off in using thick bars in that you won't be able to do as much weight as you can with the usual bars. But when you go back to regular bars (or take off the gloves) your grip will be able to handle more weight.
Screw the purists, if you want to use gloves, use them. Just understand there are differences in using or not using.
