How did you fix that problem? did you use chalk or anything? Or did you just workout through the pain? On my next deadlift day i will be at a different gym because their bars are smoother and you can still keep a good grip with them

I grabbed straps and just worked through the pain, but it sucks because it healed up and just tore again last time I deadlifted. Right now there is still a big flap of skin hanging off haha
