Lotion is your friend. It might not get rid of them but it will soften them up enough so they won't crack making your hands and feet very tough.

after not lifting for a while mine went to shit and i had a hard DL yesterday that ripped em up so i cant wait to get mine back!

I just tore another callous two days ago doing 125lb db rows. Forgot my gloves and my straps but that's no reason to puss out right? Riiiiiiip

OK well as alot of you have said that you are proud of them, like them etc, even find it more attractive when a guy has rough hands the only thing is like someone else said, i end up picking at them making the worse, and its embarrassin when a girl feels them and they are like "eerr wtf have u done to your hands?!" and i have big lumps of hard skin on my hands and fingers, and on my left hand their is one that got ripped off and looks disgusting. So i might try to get rid of them and see what it is like without them and if it makes lifting harder then fuck it ill keep em. So just lotion and moisturiser?

I use something strange on my hands, but I don't have callouses anymore...

emu oil. I buy it on line, although one of the other mods sells it too I think. It's an oil that gets absorbed into your skin really fast and keeps it soft. It's the only thing that's worked really well, and my nails grow like crazy.

I don't like gloves either. I do pick at my callouses, WTF is up with that? Like I'm a bored chimp at the zoo. I use an emery board and file at them constantly. I had one at the base of my left ring finger split way down deep for some reason. Fucker took forever to heal, what a bad place for a split. Lotion is great for softening them but I feel it makes my hands to greasy when I workout.

The solution...don't workout LOL.

Revlon makes what amounts to a "cheese slicer" for your calluses. Slices them right off without issue. Bought it at walgreens for a few dollars. Works wonders.
