Help, /fit/, I tore my calluses on my hand open deadlifting and now a flap of rigid skin hangs off my hand. They make everything painful and prevent me from lifting. This happened wednesday, what do I do?
>>38914179
cut off the skin put some antiseptic on and cover with a bandaid
>>38914179
just fucking bite/cut it off and tape a bandaid to your hand while lifting hoy shit it's not that hard
>>38914179
By not being retard and palming the bar anymore. You grip with your fingers when deadlifting.
>>38914205
That's just how I've always done it.
>>38914200
But it fucking hurts even if I slightly pull it back, cutting it off would kill. I think there is still alive skin attached.
>>38914182
It hurts if it gets nudged, how far back can I cut without cutting into living skin?
Look up rock climbing flappers, rock climbers rip their calluses all the time and have some amazing wisdom
>>38914231
Use some electrical tape to cover it up, trust me it works
just cut the shit off and put some shaving water and bandaid on it m8
>>38914179
Super glue it down. continue to lift heavy.
Ok I cut them off. Do I still need to put bandaid on them when I'm not lifting?
>>38914179
nail cutter to trim the dead skin and some liquid bandage. use hand wraps if your gonna be a fucking pussy about it
>>38914485
Bro i hope you didn't just throw them away. Lifting calluses are full of protein
>>38914179
Callus remover. Stops that shit from happening.

You just learn how to grab a bar, don't give me that I know bullshit because this doesn't happen, my callouses eventually rip open but I don't rip my skin off
>>38914499
Is that true? I always eat mine
>>38914179
>>38914485
this is what you get for not taking care of your hands you fucking retard
>>38914658
i really hope none of you waste your money on this, all you need is a $1 pumice stone to file them down a bit once a week or so in the shower
Start shaving them with this tool.
Shit is fucking incredible.
Just don't do it half an hour before deadlifting because then it will hurt.
>>38915265
>he actually bought it
lmao
>>38915263
m8, callus shavers are so far away better than using stones or anything else, I've tried them all.
They only cost $4
>>38915266
>>38915272
cost: 99 cents
calluses torn: zero
>>38915265
>skin adapts to stress by making skin thougher
>idiot shaves skin
>>38915278
Shaving them feels better still.
Never said stones don't work. Just that shavers are better.
>>38915283
this. you want your calluses, you don't want the thick, dead skin on top of them, because that's what gets pinched and torn off while lifting, leaving a bloody hole in your hand.
pumice just files down the very top layer and leaves the good part.
>>38915283
God why are people so stupid? Every time this comes up. People who haven't tried it talk shit.
I've used all common methods here and the shaver is by far the best.
>>38915292
The "good"part is called skin.
>>38915310
oh ok. i didn't know that. here's a rare ronnie as thanks.
>>38915323
>>38915336
nah mate
Learn how to grip the bar properly
>>38915295
Oh god I have a doctor in medical engineering, I know what I am talking about. You are a fucking dumbass for shaving your skin
>>38914245
Any piece that's loose is gonna die anyway just cut it as short as possible so you don't actually get caught on other stuff with ut. Also stop being a giant fucking pussy man.

t. sub 4pl8 deadlifter
>>38914485
supposed to rip them off with ur teeth mid set, anon.
>>38915278
i thought those were a meme
>>38915467
no anon, they work very well. use it at the end of your shower when the dead skin over your calluses is softened up.
>>38914179
>tfw I play with my calluses and remove the excess skin on the process
feelsgoodman
>>38914179
bite it off and eat it, that's what I do
don't weak
>>38914179
>prevent me from lifting
No, they don't. Your hand moves just as well with the torn callus. You can grip just as hard with it as without it. It just hurts. Nothing serious will happen if you grit your teeth and do your movements like your skin wasn't torn. So do that. Alleviating the pain is fine but don't stop training just because of a little pain. And also watch Rippletits' video on gripping for deadlift, Seriously, no one has posted it yet?

Try using liquid chalk instead of powder. You'll see that you'll need to lift much more to make callouses appear.
