What's everyone do for extreme calluses on their hands ?

[Air Supply]

Mine have become so thick, that they bunch up on my hands and make it very painful when lifting.

I don't use gloves or straps. This is probably the reason, right ?

Seriously thinking about taking my sander to these calluses. I need these gone.

This is bad.

I have the same problem. I can't stand gloves though. I usually just let em get nice and thick. Take a long hot showers and get your meat hooks real prunie .....then i just pick at mine and work em down to smaller callouses. I guess when i do it it is like a habit almost like biting ur nails(which i don't do).

YUP!. After a while they will stop bleeding trust me haha. I think 99% of us do as the man above me suggested.

Is that your gf in your avatar?

I use a very thin glove and make sure not to have any rings on. Other than that try jerking off with lotion!

My girlfriend, heck no......... Just a pretty young girl

Honestly, I sometimes get pissed and bite my calluses off but usually end up ripping too much flesh off. Yes, I know I'm a freak.

I use a hot tub as often as possible with chlorine, that seeems to soften them up then, I use the same moisurising stuff they use on feet, i'd don't know what it is called, but it certainly helps.

I agree with everyone else. Shower, rip em off and go on your way.

try this guys, my g/f did it for me and it helped a little.

take a nail file like the one they use for peticures and file em down...it should help quite a lot.

This is what I do, as I never wear gloves and my hands will build up nasty calluses.

First clip off any hanging skin/callus from your hands. Then soak your hands in warm water for a few minutes. Take toenail clippers or any clipper that is straight across(not curved) and carefully start to clip off a layer or two of the calluses. Dont dig too much. Its better to work at it each day a little for a week or so than to have beat up and bleeding hands. Each day after you do this, take a pumice stone and start to sand those paws down while watching tv or whatever you like to do. After you get the calluses down, you will have to do this once a week at most, I only do it once every 2-3 weeks.

It might seem kind of girlie, but it works like nothing else I have tried. Plus it will score points with the fairer sex since you wont be grabbing them with hands that feel like burlap sacks anymore.

those show the ladies that your just not a pretty boy but a hard working man

Go to a shop that sells manicure/pedicure stuff. Get a pumice stone, soak your hands in warm soapy water, and use the stone on them. Leave just enough callous on there to protect your hands when you lift next. The stone will make them nice and smooth, girl friends should like this!!

When mine get realy thick I use a 60 grit sanding drum on my dremal tool run it at alowest RPM and just buff them down , it takes the big roughest prts off unless you get crazy with it , generaly about once a month I'll do this but about 2 times a week I use my wifes pumice stone that she uses on her feet to work them over in the shower..

they also have a thing called the "ped egg" its a seires of small razors like a cheese shreder and it shaves them off realy easly , supposed to be easy enough to use on your elbow

 

[sparks1420]

i used to use a nail file, but the new gf likes to pick at them, so she usually just tears them off for me

I'm dissapointed in you Oldfella.. I was expecting some manly Australian method, like..

"soak your hands in 'roo urine, then snip them off using a snapping turtle.. and polish using sharkskin..."

Crocodile piss works better and then rub them in Tasmanian Devil shit to soften them, and no you don't wash it off after leave overnight to really impress the GF!!

Then I release their fat, clammy, soft, hand and do more barbell rows.

I run into a lot of bastards in my work who like the sound of their own voices.

I don't mind having viens run down my forearms ending in a thickly callused hand. Separates you from the herd in staff meetings.
