Calluses and bodybuilding


Big calluses on the hands are just a fact of iife for the powerlifter or serious bodybuilder. Left alone, they will rip off and take big patches of skin with them. This not cool and will limit your progress. Remove the calluses! The only proper way to do this is to go to your doctor. Casual lifters can prevent calluses by wearing gloves; however, for serious powerlifters there is no avoid them!? What constitutes serious? Benching more than 400lbs and doing lat pulldowns with more than 300lbs. These folks need to be very diligent about trimming their calluses to insure that their hands dont start limiting their progress.

    safer way to take them off i found out was when you take a hot shower or a bath, they get softer and sometimes come loose so the loose ones i jjsut kind of pick at and then leave the rest that arent loose..it works and its the keeps the amount of calluses on your hands to a minimum.

  16. @blinkvirus Alot of peoples videos on here suck but your videos are half way decent and you should be a you tube partner you can make money.

  17. Im wincing lol but I do surgical type stuff on myself all the time. I use a small sander than apply some lotion.

  18. I don’t see my method on there. I just bite it off.

    If Chuck Norris doesn’t do it, im not going to do it. Chuck has Calluses on-top of other Calluses.

  20. Ive used the “foot file” several times and I’d rather use it that cutting them off with the clippers. Just too big of a risk. You get a cut, grab a barbell at the local gym, get infected with some creepy nasty thing, and your fkd,

  21. ugly mofo

    yeah dont fuck with it either with pliers or scissors, the new skin that builds just becomes way harder then the old calluses you get. Just let time take care of it. OR SUPER GLUE

  25. daeMTHAFKNkim on June 20th, 2010 at 1514

    You could just put super glue on them and work out like that or put it before you get calluses.

    Even if you do have calluses they go away over like a month or more if you dont work out, use lotion
