Recently from weightlifting i'm finding that my hands are quite frankly getting fucked from the weights i'm using :p. The grooves on the bar are ripping my hands to shreds despite wearing gloves, Where my grip starts to fail the bar really rubs and it's wearing away the top layer of skin, so it's incredibly sore after a workout.

Does anyone have any ideas how to toughen up the skin quicker than the formation of callous's?. I've heard methylated spirit could do the job but i was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions.

Ta :)

Dont do it for a couple of days? let the skin repair and it will repair stronger afiak?


Its like when you brake a bone? When it repairs, it becomes stronger :D

dunno if this is a load of bollox as its summit i found from googling

The following are common suggestions for toughening up the skin:

The sandpaper method. Rubbing your hands with sandpaper daily or every other day basis works well.
Tincture of Benzoin. Available from any running supply house, this is known to toughen up skin, and it acts as an adhesive for keeping bandages on
Cramer's "Tuff Skin" spray is also know to toughen up the skin (and provide extra grip). It is available from various medical supply companies.
Urine. The acidity of the yellow stuff will help toughen up your hands.
Diluted white vinegar. Same effect as the yellow stuff, but without the associated germs, smells and general yuck factor.

As said before the bar has little grooves all over it which do initially help with grip. When the weights get heavy my grip starts to fail, which causes the bar to move alot in my hands. So the bar is rubbing against my hands and i have to grip harder, which hurts even more :p

im guessing he is spinning the bar in his hands and its rubbing up agaisnt it literaly tearing it.

gloves are crap, without glvoes you make the lift alot harder and work your grip alot more.

By gripping hard you build up calluses aswell = toughened skin, not pretty or attractive but alot better.

dont train with gloves. theres a good guide to treating calluses somewhere ill try find in a minute, but going SM cath so. :D

Surgical spirits should work well, ballet dancers use it to toughen up their feet for when they have to wear points.

My friend used to stink of the stuff from sitting with her feet in it for too long :(

I dunno bout weight lifting, but wearing gloves whilst masturbating is definitely not a good idea.

...unless your wanking a gorilla off, or something...

Would talcium powder help so you don't slip on the grip?

I was thinking about something similar. I know a lot of people use Chalk for gripping, which could help.

I'm so sorry...*laughs hysterically*

But you have to admit if you read this thread and think of other kind of "gripping" it's just comedy gold :D
