So, Jow Forums, what do you think about calluses?
Recently I was with girls who pointed them out and said that it was gross. I like the calluses as a testament to my effort, and it helps with the heavy weights. What do you think?
Btw pic is my hand after deadlifts

Try justifying the calluses to her, if she still assumes the same opinion then better get rid of her.
If she can't appreciate your effort to better yourself, she won't appreciate anything else that you do as long as it isn't in her liking.
You hold the bar wrong stupid nigga.
Good. Use them to vet out girls. If they give a shit you know right away to not waste your time.
Oh fuck me i didnt read that properly.
But aside being specific to girlfriends, the point still stands in general.
you can still have tough hands without being a grotty fucker
how do you grip the bar then ?
Look up Larry Wheels and see if his hands have calluses. If you can give me an example of someone who actually lifts heavy weights and doesn't have calluses I'll accept your point otherwise youre wrong
So that it doesn't roll down your hand. You want to hold it right on the knuckle, not in the middle of the palm.
Agreed, they were SJWs anyway
Your hands are only as strong as your forearms so train your gripstrength if you want any of it to master. Calluses will eventually stop bleeding once you've built them up. Never use gloves, chalk and tape can be used if you tear a callous odd off in the middle of a lift. To get maximum utility and aesthetic value, build an even callous on your hand by actually using them for manual labour and shit. Use Okeefes or burts to take your calluses from itchy and dry to a sturdy leather.
Pumice stones exist, as long as you don't scrub too hard there should be no issues
If you are talking about the base knuckle then thats how you get those calluses in the pic, not from it rolling from my palm
the rip was from 315lbs deadlift 6x3, and I'm still a novice only having lifted for about a month and half now. I train grip every time I left with dead hangs and squeezing the barbell when training. I also got a captain crusher, can close the 1. Any tips, user?
you're retarded, you can see the calluses in his picture, but heres another one if you can't see it in yours.
yeah now compare them to yours, moron.
Callus or 'lifting gloves'
Easy choice
Your calluses do look gross remove the yellow ones with nail clippers
Use vit E cream
They’re cute if they’re NOT FUGGIN BLOODY LIKE URS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! Clearly ur calluses aren’t strong enough... I’d cuddle them otherwise n feel ur big strong man hands graze along my cheek I love you big strong Jow Forums man let’s all make it together
Calluses are just nasty. Nobody thinks they are cool except a few autists.
Buy one of pic related and a urea cream.
The fuck is that?
callus knife
Carrot cutter
Learn to grip correctly. You need to use your fingers for gripping not palm. youtube.com
ITT dudes who dont lift heavy
Girls who dont like rough hands arent worth it
>needlessly damaging your body
this is not the way
Enjoy your arthritis
Put the bar where it will want to go before even starting the exercise. If you're pulling it, put it where the red line is (it becomes straight when closing the hand). If you're pushing it, put it where the green line is
I soak my hands in warm water once a week and scratch them off. Otherwise they get too big and start bruising.
Those are all good grip exercises, carry on. If you can get meaty forearms, they'll bring in meaty flaps
tell her if she likes boys with soft hands starbucks is just a few blocks away, she can get as many söyboys as she likes
earn your callus faggot
I just chop mine with a nail clipper or an exacto knife. I don't get them so bad now though cos I hold the bar more with my fingers than my palm

>crossfit
I'd bet money you have bad facial aesthetics, little education and a low IQ
Fix your grip and then keep peeling or scraping them off. They'll eventually turn into smooth bumps
I train climbing exclusively and my hands were in worse condition.
Rips though, make effective training impossible.
So what I did is I got a decent moisturizer cream and save each coffee grounds after usage, mix them with olive and use that as a scrub daily.
So now I have callouses that are a testament to my hours clicked on the wall and effort I put in and they are not a repugnant destroyed hands like yours are right now.
Wife is also happier with my hand care routine as I stopped destroying any fabric that's delicate and prone to damage due to unsmooth skin.
One of the first things I noticed when I started lifting my faps did not feel as nice. Now I always take care of my hands so it does not feel like I am being jacked off by a construction worker.
With ur cock xDDd
You have a fungal infection in there, dipshit.
when girls point out stuff like this they most likely shit test you to see how you react.
moisturize and sand them back slightly with a pumice stone in the shower
just don't let them get large enough that they can rip off and you're generally fine
w-what if youre a construction worker
Hold the bar right (really SQUEEZE it as hard as you can, resting it on your fingers and not the palm) and you will just get tough skin on the hands without such callus spots.
He will ask that you blow him instead.
I just cut them off when they start hurting too much on deadlifts or dead hangs. Never had one fucking bleed.
all of them beat having low test though you fragile little man
Just don't deadlift. It's a dangerous meme exercise anyways.
HOOK GRIP MOTHER FUCKER
There's a difference between having disgusting crusty ass rotten caluses and healthy strong caluses
OP Here, I pretty much use hook grip always except when deadlifting.
Agreed. Here is Luke Johnson, the deadlift record holder in the drug tested international powerlifting league
Learn to lift so that you dont have to brag about things that only beginners get...
see
for about the first 3 months of lifting I had nasty calluses but now they are really not noticeable at all
>bro ur just gripping the bar wrong lmoa rippletits told me
i can't tell whether it's bait or new as fuck, i've never met anyone who lifted heavy weights and they didn't have calluses
shut the fuck up faggots
also op ignore them, some chicks dig calluses
Gripping the bar "properly" really just moved the callouses down from my palm onto my finger area. I don't have that pinch line across my palm.
For my fingers I shaved them down with an emory board, and moisturized the shit out of my hands.
It's odd, but they seem to be calming down. They are still there, I can still feel how thick the skin is, but they aren't getting all puffy and rough like at the beginning.
