Dead lumps of skin anyone?

When i first went to the gym my hands where so sore from all the rubbing on the weights. I would have huge chunks of dead skin but now i think after working out so long its got some permenant layer of thickness and i dont feel anything now for a while there i was thinking of getting some gloves but they look lame

Just below your fingers right? Those things never go away, unless if you wear gloves. A few years ago i stopped lifting and they took about 3 months to go away. You're scarred for life man!

For me, calluses never go away. I still have calluses from an assembly line job I worked almost 10 years ago...on my second knuckles on the back of my my left hand which is kind of an unusual place to have calluses, so I know what it's from. It's from the way I used to hold heater cores when I installed them into automobile HVAC units

Mine grinds 'em off with this coral rock thing.. She's say they're gross, I told her they're okay, but grinding them off is gross. She still insists

If you are worried about them, wear gloves. If not the calluses along with a few toothpicks should be signs of your "machismo". (Pun intended).

I have "dead skin" (I put quotes around it since I don’t know the technical term for it) on both my hands. I have it under my middle and ring finger. It feels funny when you pick at it. But it all started when I started doing deadlifts. I tried wearing gloves, but I'm like, "Ah screw it."


The real manly gym thing you can have in my opinion is the deadlift scrape. You know, the cut you have from deadlifting?

Sponges? Why not inexpensive leather gym gloves?
