Re: Squats and Deadlifts
Don't think this is worth it's own thread so I'll just ask here. What's the best way to stop giant callouses from forming on my hands after DLs? After just a couple of reps, my skin starts peeling and all that fun stuff. It never has enough time to heal before my next workout at this point, so my skin is constantly rough and blistery in those parts. Given than my school gym apparently doesn't allow chalk, should I get gloves, adjust my grip, or just suck it up and deal with it?
This is a big part of the reason why I am the exact opposite as the OP in my preference. |

Re: Squats and Deadlifts
gloves will reduce the callouses, but have their own set of problems...difficulty w/ gripping and increasing bar cirumference...

Re: Squats and Deadlifts
grip it more in the fingers, cuz it will slide down there anyways. The sliding is mostly what is tearing your hands up, but they will probably still get messed up anyways. Also, get a callus file so you don't build up a bunch of dead skin and exacerbate the problem.

Re: Squats and Deadlifts
Ugh I hate doing deadlifts at my gym with no Olympic platform, what with having to load all the weights on the ground [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
