Nah you're just clueless
I have never ripped my callouses in the gym. I ripped several when doing an obstacle course competition.
Here are other ways to rip them >lifting odd objects for strongman training >lifting with a brand new competition bar with aggressive knurling
It happens all the time, most bars in the gym have worn out knurling.
No you are wrong and a brainlet. It's from letting your calluses build up until they are super thick. Then they are prone to completely ripping off in a big chunk. Olympic weightlifters, powerlifters, gymnasts, competitive crossfitters, etc. all file down their calluses so this doesn't happen.
I cut my callouses with a scissor or a knife
Any downsides in doing it?

No that's fine. Shaving them off with a razor works too.

Filing/sanding them down is a little more ideal, I think. The friction denatures the proteins in the skin so over time it leads to healthier callouses with a more consistent density/fibrousness.
It's never happened to me from lifting weights. But it has happened once or twice from fricking around on the monkey bars. Swinging and grabbing onto bars and the violence of the action pulls callouses off. I've no idea how you'd do this with regular weights
nta but what's "real" lifting?
like how much should i be putting up on my bench, squat, deadlift, etc?
by the way i'm a humble white man, not a shitskin
Construction worker hands come from working with your hands and using them under harsh conditions.
Deliberately keeping callouses on your hand to appear like a working man despite shuffling paper around is pretty obvious.
This. Don’t be a larper with your gym calloused hands. I like my callouses too but no point in risking tears just to pretend your the salt of the earth blue collar slob.
This stuff only happens if you don't care for your your callouses by filing them down. If you just keep lifting without filing your callouses they're going to grow and grow until they're a big lump of skin that easily gets ripped off. Keep them down to just being a tough patch of skin and you'll be fine.

Not opposed to it, weeds and thorns can sting. >wearing gloves to lift weights
You're a massive homosexual and most likely sit down to pee.

sitting down to pee is superior where. you know it’s clean. I don’t want to clean my piss off the floor or people to clean my piss off their floors, simple as.

Yeah, I'm pretty hardcore.
yeah, this wannabe tought guy mentality is moronic. gloves are sometimes nice to have, e.g. for weighted dips on bars without any padding, because the bars wedging into the palms distracts from the set. I wouldn't use them for deadlifting, unless your grip is very strong, because it suffers a bit. same with the pussy pad, sometimes it's useful, e.g. when I was getting back to lifting and had to highbar squat with non existing traps for a bit, or for sitting calf raises with a barbell inside the rack
How do girls deal with this shit? Do they stick to 10-lb dbbells or some chit?
Used to have the softest baby hands you could imagine before lifting. In just one month of greasing pullups I grew knife-sharp pieces of keratin shrapnel, and when I finally pulled them off they left half inch deep craters.
Tried gloves (chinkoid mechanix knockoffs) and it didn't really help. It think it's mostly pressure rather than friction that causes them.
That's just poor callus management
Gloves are for total noobs don't do it
no, it's poor lifting technique.
>t. brainlet
i'm right though.

I've never ripped them off in the gym. I've ripped some off rock climbing.

nta but what's "real" lifting?
like how much should i be putting up on my bench, squat, deadlift, etc?
by the way i'm a humble white man, not a shitskin
Having soft hands is gay

There's absolutely 0 way to rip all of your calluses off without being a dumbass

This. Wash your hands with a decent soap so they don't dry out and use a pumice stone to sand em down so they don't tear apart on you.
This is like hygiene 101...

Learn 2 piss
MOISTURISE YOUR HANDS FFS
Lmao frickin noob needing lifting gloves, hope your boyfriend likes your soft hands. Wouldn’t want to get callus from benching 45lb dumbbells would we
u think that photos bad u should see the state of his wiener
i workout in my garage and wear mechanix gloves while lifting. great way to break in new pairs of gloves also.
>be me
>2014
>get high and longboard around local park
>spot swingset with nobody in sight
>swing for 30ish taking tiny breaks to smoak moar
>feel a little sting in my hand
>come to a stop
>look at hands
>every finger looks like OP's pic but also on the first segment of each finger
Yeah, I'm pretty hardcore.
I periodically grind them down with an Amope Pedi thing. Keeps them at a reasonable size and I don’t get tears.
>getting callouses from lifting of all things
Do pull-ups sometime.
>1 am
Yup, it's time for a bedtime story

I worked up to a 270kg deadlift with a hook grip and never tore a callus.
I don't see how this shit happens in the context of gym training.
How do girls deal with this shit? Do they stick to 10-lb dbbells or some chit?

I just use one my old razors the cheap bic kind to shave off some of them in the shower when they get too big.
