I've been lifting for around 6 months now, and my hands have these calluses on where my fingers connect to my hand.
They sting after repeated holding of a barbell or anything of the likes.
Should I be wearing gloves for lifts, or should I just fight through it?
meme "real tough guy" """males""" here will say to tough it out
in reality just wear gloves
You should shave them down and moisturize them.
Don't list to the other faggot saying to wear gloves.

How much weight is on there?
They look like the cast of a superbad knockoff
>Should I be wearing gloves for lifts, or should I just fight through it?
Neither, you should grip correctly
Callus exists where you crease your skin because of weight. Grip the bar using your fingers and base of where the callus typically forms rather than wrapping your fingers and using the callus as a brace.
Rippletits has a video on it but basically don't grip like a retard

so basically the bar should be pushing into my hand below the callus(toward my wrist, rather than finger)?

Put the bar in the middle of your hand so you don't fucking snap your fingers.

yeah that's nice if all you ever do is benching
>>40674237
what the fuck is that webm
>>40674395
you don't do one-side-weighted bench presses?

Above, more towards your fingers (you will develop slight callus on your fingers as a result)
Opposite for deadlift, but otherwise you're golden

Callus-wise, it's the pulling movements that fuck up your hands, especially deadlift because you pull the most weight in that. The video in >>40674410 shows how to grip in a way that doesn't lead to excessive calluses and tearing them.
In pushing movements correct grip matters too but calluses aren't a problem there. In pushing movements you want the bar to be a little diagonal in the palm and as far toward your wrist as it can go.
if u are a man wearing gloves when lifting
