    ^^^wears gloves. never gets calluses. never loses control of the bar. never has to spend time filing his hands. never has hand pain restricting his lifts.


    and never needs to prove he's a badass.

    If I were getting serious calluses....I'd buy gloves. I used to have a pair but I don't recall what happened to them...I've moved a hundred or so times, so who knows (lost in the shuffle?) I haven't worn any in a long time and I only have very slight calluses, so I don't worry about them.

    I like this answer the best...to be honest I chew them off sometimes too...ugh!

    I file them down with a nail file over my spaghetti.

    You must have some really good gloves. Any pair I ever tried caused me to have grip issues. Half tempted to try batting gloves. LOL

    Nothing wrong with calluses! It means that I am gripping that bar good and tight.

    I have calluses at the base on all my fingers, I just leave them. They havent caused me any trouble so far. Also surely some hard skin there is helpful when lifting weights, at least thats what I was thinking.

    i wear gloves. it doesnt protect 100% from callouses since it's hard for me to find gloves that fit perfectly. but it still doesnt leave my hands feeling like i work on a railroad.

    i've also never had grip issues with gloves either

    I wear gloves and, thusfar, haven't had any callouses. :)
