Hey bros...I was in the gym yesterday doing deadlifts and was using freehands. I get a better grip since its my first lift and my hands are still pretty clean and dry. Well, yesterday I ripped open a callouse (sp?) on my hand on my 2nd set so of course, the rest of the days workouts were somewhat "modified" as my hand was killing me.

I can use gloves but it still hurts and will still tear at my callouses and prefer free hand as I can get a better grip but don't want to keep slicing my hands open.....any ideas?

Sorry man i think this is one of those situations where you'll have to put up with gloves or just take some time off from training back (or any exercises that involving pulling movements)

You can wrap the bottom of your fingers w/tape, other than that i dont see a solution.
