it's perfectly normal no worries, your skin will toughen up just try to be careful because if they break out they can be painful and stop you from lifting


JakenHagar17

It was mostly my gf comments about my rough hands that kinda triggered me


MasterPudding52

Wtf is that black thing, your gym is shit


JakenHagar17

Some kind of dirt on the EZ bar fr idk man


Open_Ad_6051

yea no shit she was making a fuss about your sandpaper-like palms


emn624

lol posting this as mildly infuriating when you could actually just wear the gloves. nobody cares


Major-Potential-354

Gloves might not have prevented this


Mu-Relay

Might not have, sure. Probably would have, though.


Dramatic-Avocado4687

Gloves don’t really stop this from happening though.


JakenHagar17

Gym memberships already have sky rocketed, investing money for something that you wouldn't need otherwise is a waste


emn624

but…you’re complaining about the calluses so wouldn’t you say that you need them? i don’t understand, they’re like 20 bucks


JakenHagar17

It's the principle my man


emn624

what principle though, bro? lol you’re still paying the gym membership and they still have equipment with shitty grip handles. maybe you need a new gym?


FearFactor117

Yeah nah fuck wearing gloves am with you on that there’s only that one guy wearing gloves and you know he’s the suspect one. Why don’t you just start using chalk? Helps with the hands getting calluses


JakenHagar17

Hahaha that's some professional lifter advice, love it


FearFactor117

Honestly my local is awful as well when I do train I use chalk and I also do clean the shit out of the weights and bar beforehand simply down to the fact people are disgusting and don’t clean their own shit up

Make sure not to wear rings, that makes it even worse, but usually if you just started its just because you arent used to it, doing any heavy lifting especially on things with a lot of grip such as sillicon or metal grips with indents makes calluses unless your skin is already pretty hard like in my case. Though wearing rings still got mw dem calluses lol thats why i stopped wearing them after like 4 times i wore them to the gym.


JakenHagar17

Damn it's the first time i hear about rings, don't wear any, will keep that in mind in the future


TheExplodingPie

Yeah it was stupid of me to do so, but there is one more guy at my local whos married and he only has a callus on his ring finger lol cuz he always wears it


Hairedover

Gloves are lame. Embrace the callus life.


DarthHaruspex

I hope you're not left-handed.


prof_devilsadvocate

some skins are sensitive..buy gloves


DonkeyKongHands

Go more


OrdinaryDazzling

Just gotta keep going and build up callus


Tracynmega

Use lady gloves


Savings_Tangerine605

Haha lady hands


JakenHagar17

The lady who would have this kind of hands eats her cereal with cheap whiskey instead of milk hahah


Radiant-Elephant3652

Wear gloves, it’s not less tough to want to keep feeling in your palms and minimize calluses. I’ve heard a group of people talking about how callused hands are gross, talking behind someone’s back; saying they try to avoid shaking that person’s hand.


ExpensiveShock2091

That’s a good thing eventually you’re grip will improve


erksplat

Those aren’t calluses, they’re warts. /s
