The toughening aspect of training my hands is why I haven't used gloves.

That and I feel like I'm not lifting so much weight that I should be wearing gloves.

Idk, honestly they hurt more today than they did last night. I put neosporin on it but I use my hands all day so I just gotta deal with it.

This is the best advice in the thread. TL;DR: you are most likely holding the bar wrong, OP. Get used to holding it correctly and calluses will be much more manageable in the future. I've been doing this for months and it really, really helps.

[–]Chelsor1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

When the pads of your hands form a "pinch" after lifting, it's okay to wear gloves. Pay attention to your grip and use chalk. The ripping happens because the weight is moving in your hand, you don't want that but it's inevitable.

Go you, you manly sunofabitch.

[–]Chelsor2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Super glue, and take it a bit easier but don't stop. The problem is they aren't developed, you need to develop them.

I have manly hands and rip callouses open once or twice a year. Mostly from dead lifting and baseball.

Most importantly, be a man about it. When asked, you aren't in any pain it's just inconvenient... for your lady.

[–]1talldarkandhandsome2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Noted, I never intended to stop, but I def told my hand to fuck off with its bullshit weakness.

[–]Chelsor1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Those hands don't deserve you. Yet. Now I've got the urge to pick up weight and put it down again.

[–]1talldarkandhandsome1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

FUCKING DO IT!!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Keep them moisturized and wear gloves whenever you're lifting or working with your hands.

[–]trpRX1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

get a roll of athletic tape and learn to tape em up..

I'm doing this. Thank you

[–]elduckbell1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Once they're healed up and you're back at it, file them down regularly with a Pumice Stone

[–]AdmiralVonJackass1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Just use straps for awhile man. Take all pressure off your hands.

[–]decebalus11 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Bag balm.

Also, see this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZBmiQm4MF4

Good luck!

[–]Nerf_Circus 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Cut them up with a scalpel. Normally mine just peel, when they get to inflexible to grip the bar for my deadlifts

[–]1talldarkandhandsome0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Sounds weird but I normally cut them with a nail clipper when they get to bigger.

pics pls?

[–]doughd 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

To heal: duct tape, neosporin, chalk, and more lifting To fix the problem: stop being a pussy, and realize that the pain you are feeling is your body congradulating you for your gains Going forward: fuck you get back in the gym.

Also, get a sand bag in the meantime. If it hurts that bad, just sand-bag it up for a while. You don't need your hands much.

[–]1talldarkandhandsome2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Whoa no one ever said anything about not going to the gym. Lets not get extreme, it's not like I broke my back.

I got legs today anyways.

I'm just going to tape it up till it grows some more skin back.

[–]3G6A5W338E-1 points0 points1 point 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Consider seeing a doctor.

[–]1talldarkandhandsome1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

The doctor doesn't have a prescription for bitch hands.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Washing your hands with rubbing alcohol can be used to harden and toughen your skin. Have you given that a shot yet?

[–]1talldarkandhandsome3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

..............ಠ_ಠ

[–]Veqq-1 points0 points1 point 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Why are you asking here?

[–]1talldarkandhandsome2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Why not.

[–]Chelsor1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Manly man asking manly men for lifting advice? Checks out.
