I just got an awesome question regarding callouses from lifting weights.

Honestly… I have pretty deep callouses and have even developed a Ganglion Cyst in the ligament of my hand (you can’t see it, but I can feel it, and it doesn’t hurt). I don’t wear gloves, which is the main reason for this.

I know it probably sounds super weird, but I’m PROUD of my callouses… I EARNED these babies!!! lol. And for those of you who are concerned guys will be “turned-off” by that…. it has always been the polar opposite for me! ALL of my boyfriends and many of my guy friends think it’s “hot”. However even if they thought it was “gross”… I still wouldn’t wear gloves, because like I said, I’m proud of the work I’ve put in. =P So any dude that thinks it’s gross can go kick rocks!

If you’re concerned about callouses, use gloves and lifting straps also help.
