Just wanted to ask a quick question, ive been lifting since the end of may and Ive notice hard skin forming below three of my fingers from my middle to little finger. I just wanted to know am I doing anything wrong form wise or is it just something im going to have to get used to. I dont like use gloves, I feel I get a better grip with hands only.

Thoughts?

    Imagine the pads on dogs feet; similar to that.

    That is the only thing that helps me are the gloves. Otherwise you have to use plenty of good lotion and get a good manicurist who would be willing to clip away the dead skin.

    Ditto the others...embrace the callouses! They show how hard you're working!

    Warning: calluses make you look like you aren't a sissy.

    I have them on both hands. I just purchased a pair of gloves and I'll give them a try.
