Cathe, why no gloves in PH?

Hi Cathe. I love Power Hour, but I'm just curious as to why you and your "costars" didn't wear weightlifting gloves. You used them in the Pure Strength series, and personally I won't lift without them. Not a criticism, just wondering. Thanks!

I think it may be that Cathe and crew are using (I think) the Troy Lite barbell, which is coated and light, and therefore maybe you don't need the gloves...
