how do you guys tie your laces?

I usually make two bunny loops, then wrap one around the other and pull it through.

ooh. how bout when training by yourself? any tips on like tying it without making it come loose?

guys at my gym that have lace ups.. which is like 2 just put it on and pull it tight and just stuff it in the gloves. but won't it like get loose?

Well, they make these thigns that can convert a lace up style glove into a hook and loop. Basically its two industrial velcor pieces that get threaded into the laces so that you can secure the gloves with the velcro. Thats what I would recommend doing. You dont want to just stuff them in the gloves because the glove will be loose within 20 seconds.
OR, the other option is to buy a pair of gloves that are a hook and Loop velcro version, then you avoid needing anyone to lace you up, and they work great.

Here is one version:

Here is a very good H&L style bag glove:

yeah =\ i just bought the imf tech training lace ups before starting this thread =\. i wanted to get the hook and loop but they aren't going to restock till mid april :dunno:. i needed some gloves fast. my car got broken into and all my gear stolen... i had everlast professional bag gloves and i recently got title gel. i only used the title gel like 3 times...

some other forum said to use elastic cords.

i'll give that converter a try. have you used it?
