Your callus routine might be doing more harm than good.
If you’re seeing any of these signs, it’s time to rethink your hand care:
• Skin feels raw or overly thin
• Frequent tears or rips after workouts
• Calluses peeling off in large chunks
• Pain when gripping bars
• Hands that won’t fully heal between sessions
Ignoring these can lead to painful tears that set you back.
Dial back, trim smartly, and protect your grip with the right tools.
How often do you check your callus health before training?
