Tape

[DEEPER KEMICAL]

i have been using athletic tape on my hands for a few weeks now. makes a huge difference. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3216/2728269497_1dbfc179fc.jpg

but this weekend i didnt have it or my chalk and i was doing some rack deadlifts and my fuckin callouses ripped open. painful as fuck! its crazy how dependent you get on these. but they work wonders

that sounds really painful....are u ok?

Thats why I never really used gloves, or tape or any of that. I don't think its the greatest idea to keep your hands soft when you plan to train forever! Go commando and toughen them up again! :agree

[DEEPER KEMICAL]

the reason i use tape is because it covers the callous and doesnt allow it to "fold" or rip. Works wonders, especially on pullups and deadlifts

I agree there are times when it hurts like hell, mostly on back stuff. But its not nearly as bad as it was way back in the day I used to wear stuff and then didnt have anything to wear one day and I could barely finish my sets it hurt so bad.

yea, true

But I mean I guess you do also get a better grip on the weight and that helps your form and keeping things proper so it's a give and take I guess. Especially with big weight.

I know this is totally different from taping up your hands but one of my friends one time even whipped out a set of those straps with the hooks on them to hold the bar. I was just not feelin that at all. I was like come on man, pick the fucking weight up will ya! haha

shave them off with a mach 3 razor. thats what i do and the callouses are gone, but you get shiny spots of new skin where they used to be.
