Calluses - How Do You Deal With Them?

I figured with the plethora of folk significantly stronger than I on here that this would be a good place to ask lol.

How do you guys keep calluses down? Back days are getting pretty painful now as the bar does its best to rip them from my hands!

do you just hack them off, or is there a better way?

 

I just peel them off. You could try the sholl stuff for hard dry heel skin.

 

Tend to leave them until they open then use nail clippers on the flap.

 

I'm a fucker for picking mine off, but you could sand them down.

 

The problem with waiting for them to tear is you never know if it's going to take half your hand with it

 

Yeah, stuff waiting for them to tear.. it knacks enough as it is lol.

I do use powdered chalk, maybe I need to take them right back first and keep them well chalked.

 

A few ways...

Shave them off with one of my wife's old Venus lady shave things (works quite well when wet)
I sand them down with my Mrs electric pedi-file thing (you see them on TV)
I cutt hem off with nail clippers

 

Scrub them down with foot scrub personally. Never had an issue with tearing.. Maybe I don't lift heavy enough

 

Training more often will seem counter productive, but it will cause your calluses to heal faster

 

I just bite/pick them off when I can.
Only downside when it takes half your palm off with it.

 

Bite them off
