Help, Veeky Forums, I tore my calluses on my hand open deadlifting and now a flap of rigid skin hangs off my hand. They make everything painful and prevent me from lifting. This happened wednesday, what do I do?

cut off the skin put some antiseptic on and cover with a bandaid
Wyatt Kelly
just fucking bite/cut it off and tape a bandaid to your hand while lifting hoy shit it's not that hard
Ayden Rodriguez
By not being retard and palming the bar anymore. You grip with your fingers when deadlifting.
Joseph Roberts
That's just how I've always done it.
But it fucking hurts even if I slightly pull it back, cutting it off would kill. I think there is still alive skin attached.
Daniel Jackson
It hurts if it gets nudged, how far back can I cut without cutting into living skin?
Evan Wood
Look up rock climbing flappers, rock climbers rip their calluses all the time and have some amazing wisdom
Jacob Evans
Use some electrical tape to cover it up, trust me it works
Adam Wood
just cut the shit off and put some shaving water and bandaid on it m8
Justin Butler
Super glue it down. continue to lift heavy.
Oliver Richardson
Ok I cut them off. Do I still need to put bandaid on them when I'm not lifting?
Tyler Carter
nail cutter to trim the dead skin and some liquid bandage. use hand wraps if your gonna be a fucking pussy about it
Brayden Cooper
Bro i hope you didn't just throw them away. Lifting calluses are full of protein
Daniel Torres
Callus remover. Stops that shit from happening.
Joseph Murphy
You just learn how to grab a bar, don't give me that I know bullshit because this doesn't happen, my callouses eventually rip open but I don't rip my skin off
Luis Hughes
Is that true? I always eat mine
Joseph Moore
this is what you get for not taking care of your hands you fucking retard
i really hope none of you waste your money on this, all you need is a $1 pumice stone to file them down a bit once a week or so in the shower
Caleb Barnes
Start shaving them with this tool.
Shit is fucking incredible.
Just don't do it half an hour before deadlifting because then it will hurt.
Jackson Rogers
>he actually bought it
lmao
Evan Thompson
m8, callus shavers are so far away better than using stones or anything else, I've tried them all.
They only cost $4

>skin adapts to stress by making skin thougher
>idiot shaves skin
Luis Wood
Shaving them feels better still.
Never said stones don't work. Just that shavers are better.
Landon Sullivan
this. you want your calluses, you don't want the thick, dead skin on top of them, because that's what gets pinched and torn off while lifting, leaving a bloody hole in your hand.
pumice just files down the very top layer and leaves the good part.
Sebastian Bennett
God why are people so stupid? Every time this comes up. People who haven't tried it talk shit.
I've used all common methods here and the shaver is by far the best.
Cooper Lopez
The "good"part is called skin.
Joshua Lee
oh ok. i didn't know that. here's a rare ronnie as thanks.

Jackson Howard
Learn how to grip the bar properly
Kayden Lewis
Oh god I have a doctor in medical engineering, I know what I am talking about. You are a fucking dumbass for shaving your skin
Julian Diaz
Any piece that's loose is gonna die anyway just cut it as short as possible so you don't actually get caught on other stuff with ut. Also stop being a giant fucking pussy man.

Jace Campbell
supposed to rip them off with ur teeth mid set, user.
Eli Butler
i thought those were a meme
David Lewis
no user, they work very well. use it at the end of your shower when the dead skin over your calluses is softened up.
Lincoln Martin
>tfw I play with my calluses and remove the excess skin on the process
feelsgoodman
Gabriel Johnson
bite it off and eat it, that's what I do
don't weak
Ian Thompson
>prevent me from lifting
No, they don't. Your hand moves just as well with the torn callus. You can grip just as hard with it as without it. It just hurts. Nothing serious will happen if you grit your teeth and do your movements like your skin wasn't torn. So do that. Alleviating the pain is fine but don't stop training just because of a little pain. And also watch Rippletits' video on gripping for deadlift, Seriously, no one has posted it yet?

Try using liquid chalk instead of powder. You'll see that you'll need to lift much more to make callouses appear.
