static holds

[leatherface]

I was doing static holds, refusing to let the weight go. Right when I felt that my limbs were about to rip off, I would scream and grunt, and hold the weight for a few more seconds, and repeat, until It was not possible to hold the weight anymore. I was using chalk, but no straps or anything. Anyhow, now the palms of my hands have blisters on them where the bar just like ripped through the skin. Has anyone else had this before or what? This is the first time this has happened to me, but this is also the first time i had the benifit of using chalk while doing these, so the bar didn't slip from sweat.

I have callouses galore brother. Consider them battle scars. Pop them blisters, pour some alcohol on 'em and suck it up.

Over time the palm skin will thicken

Ya i have calouses all over my hands and below my fingers, just they aren't too thick on my actual palms . It doesn't bother me, I was just curious if other people get that shit too.

Just on the palm side of the joint on my 4th and 5th finger is rock hard on my hands.
