I asked this on the training board too. I got calouses on my hands from liftin and what note. Do you guys do anything to get rid of them or just show them off as "trophies"? I honestly think they look pretty cool. IP: Logged |

I would get your girls opinion on that, I dont like them, I have had them for a long time. I wear gloves, their was a big debate on this one - it was split pretty evenly. Basically it came down to this: "Man gloves are for fuck1n pussies, they would laugh at me in my gym if I even thought about wearing gloves" and this "Yo my bitch like my hands soft to rub that ass, so Id rather impress that big ass than the big ass's in the gym" Slopain IP: Logged |

this hits close to home...i have monster callouses below every finger except the index (anybody else?)...when im getting some of "the shhhh, the nasty" i get kinda self-conscious of them...like when i grab that ass or am giving a pre-game rubdown...i found that a light rub with a pumice stone does the trick...just enough to take the edge off...

I personally find the gloves give you a better grip on the bar than with bare hands, but I don't wear the gloves every time I work out, just on heavy upper body days. IP: Logged |

They are there for a reason, its just your body improvising, overcoming and adapting to the stress you put on it. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I think little calouses are kinda sexy...shows that a man actually *does* something with his hands.  Now big, fat, nasty calouses, that's a little different. Ya gotta know where to draw the line. Some guys have really sharp ones..kind of like a hangnail. The rule is: if they can draw blood, clip them bad boys off!IP: Logged |

Trophies bro, fuck what the women think. I highly doubt that if they are going to fuck you, that discovering some callouses will suddenly make you unattractive to them and make them not give it up. Shit I wear them like a badge of honor. IP: Logged |

Brotha Latimer - would you mind if a hot, hard-bodied babe was waxing your carrot with big, sharp calouses? IP: Logged |

LOL, shit doesn't stop me from pleasuring myself so I guess it wouldn't be a big deal. It'd be kind of odd for a woman to have them though. I just associate them with hard work. Like when I shake hands with a dude and he has soft hands, it kind of makes me wonder about them. IP: Logged |

Hey - if it don't bother you ..... I do agree that when a man's hands are really soft - puddy hands - I get turned-off, unless, of course, we talkin' about the doctor! - those hands BETTER be soft! IP: Logged |

I have them on my hands and they are like trophies. During my break, I peel them. When they thicken out, I peel them some more. They remind me of the hard work and dedication I put in. IP: Logged |

SB: I got them under all my fingers except for the index finger too. The thing is fellas, I ain't got a girl so I don't have anyone to ask if they're good or not. What is a pumice stone? Is that like a sharpening stone for knives? I never heard of them before. And another thing is (this is gonna sound stupid but bare with)me) My grand father had them on his hands. Man was my hero. I really admired him when he was alive and wanted to be just like him. I think I'll keep them, but smooth them if they start cuttin the ladies. Thanx for the input. IP: Logged |

Hell, I wear gloves and still get callouses. Not as bad as they used to be. I remember back in high school I used to cut them off with a pocketknife. IP: Logged |
