is there anything I can buy to make my calluses smooth, and no I will not wear gloves

nice hands.

i only use chalk, but watching this really helped reduce the callouses i got dramatically.


do what rippetoe says and i also soak my hands in soapy water for a minute and then use a pumice stone to smooth out the callouses. usually do it once every 2 weeks. superstore sells them for $1

but have any of you guys bought them? i didnt realise plane almonds were actually a precious metal
holy fuck


:cool:

i buy em from costco. i believe raw almonds are banned in north america. but the closest you can get to raw is ones they sell at costco. it's not roasted. you can get a big bag on sale sometimes.

i go sports central at like 530ish.. stay till 7

Good to know I've been holding weights "correctly" all along.. I always thought of my hands as "hooks" when doing pulling exercises, so it just made sense that the fingers would be holding the weight, not my palms.

like most people, i had the "grip as much and as hard as you can| grip which caused callouses... from lat pull downs to deads... but eventually, naturally, i started to do it the right way using my fingers to hook on. i think the callouses got too painful, and i jsut adapted to another way.. thank god for that

RRxtar 01-18-2011 01:13 PM

i just dont think you can hang on to something with a deathgrip after a while.

altho it does provide more gripping force as you use the larger first knuckle as the main grip knuckle as opposed to the smaller second.

:fuuuuu:

My low carb diet and cut has started. Hopefully I can maintain most of my strength. Currently at 215lbs @ 18% bf. Goal is to cut down to about 9-10% bf.

i remember in high school, so many people would load up 2 plates on the smith, lower it an inch and start pumping away.

sorry for a late 2-3 page reply, i touch my chest and i dont workout like a typical "load the weights, lose the form" douchebag. im turning 19 this year.
I tried 185 without any pre workouts or proper warm ups and could only hit it for 1 :(

Guy was curling at squat rack today...

In other news, my delts and traps will be on fire tomorrow morning. Pretty happy about my cardio, actually able to run on a (relatively) high speed for a decent amount of time compared to before =D

what time were you there? i was there around 6-730.

you are right about how the clips are loose. had to do cleans with one clip.

i was running around the whole place looking for plates. turns out some asshole took a lot of plates to the warmup area near the squash courts. there's at least 2 of each size there. ffffffuuuuuu
