Help with calluses

[delldell2]

Ok, I sort of neglected the calluses I got and they've gotten pretty bad. I got really minor ones under the ring and pinky finger, and I don't want them to turn into what I got underneath both middle fingers. They've turned black and are really thick and hard. They're starting to hurt most pulling exercises. I can't even do static holds anymore. How do I get rid of them?

I use chalk on deadlifts but not on chins or anything else. Anyway, it's past that point now, so does anyone know some remedies?

I file mine or cut them off. If I don't do that fairly regular, they crack, bleed and get to be annoying.

Use moisterizer every night before bed.

use straps, and constantly pick them. It has become one of my favorite hobbies when i am alone.

I'm going to try filing them. It's gotten too bad to pick them. I used to think they were cool until they turned black and started hurting. Should've been picking them constantly.

I am sure for a guy this will sound a bit gay but sure to work. At night put a thick amount of hand cream on then cotton gloves. Will soften them up also file them etc.

If I moisturize fairly regularly I don't run into problems.

Try a buffing stone with warm soapy water. It helps keep the calluses down.

I don't use straps or gloves, so my hands get pretty worked doing a lot of DL's, etcetera. I use a rosin bag for several lifts and try to be mindful of how my hands feel.

Some of the bars (my favorite ones of course) in my gym have a newer grip on it...almost checkered vs. lines on the bar--they really do a number on my hands.

I am constantly putting lotion on throughout the day and have strategically placed lotion at home, in my car, at my desk at work, in the gym bag and I even put a bottle at bignates house! Then again my hands are typically dry.
