Getting callouses from lifting

christianteach

try the gloves and see how they feel. i personally don't like gloves.

also there a a few things you can do.

revisit your grip: if you are doing it like in the second picture switch to a grip like in the first. a hook grip might help as well. as does chalk.

remove them:
i do this if they get to bad. there are creams... and knives

learn to live with them:
if they don't get so bad that they limit your hand movement than they are a purely aesthetic problem.

And chalk will get you kicked out of most commercial gyms.

what? really? that sucks.

I tried this today and it helped a lot! Thank you!!:flowerforyou:

I'm cheap so since chalk is free at the gym I use that.

Think of your callouses as trophies. You have worked hard and earned them

callouses are pretty unavoidable if you lift weights barehanded. I have them at the base of all my fingers.

Gloves. I use a nice set with wrist supports included. They most likely run $10-30 from most of the big box sporting good stores.
