yeah, that was also with a brand new bar with sharp as fuck knurling on it

that's really good

it was going to hurt my hands no matter what.

I deadlifted with soft knurls and I hurt my hands

sheeeeeeit

I prefer spiky because it doesn't slip and give you scabs

I make a point to find this one bar in my gym that is older than me

hm

maybe you have a better grip strength than me

I just can't grip hard enough with 450 on the bar

so I need the spikes

no, you need chalk

no, you need glue

super glue

best bar to use is the most worn knurling you can find, with chalk

Let the New Years resolutioners use the new bars..."oh LOOK shinny!"

lol

You want a bar that looks like it will give you tetnus.

@FylnnGardian two deadlift sessions ago I discovered the ancient technique

of suuuuper twisted grip, which pretensions your skin for the weight

but puts strain on your palms

I see you have palm calluses

so I guess I'm doing it right

It's from years of being a donkey

On the weekends I soak them for a half hour, the put latex gloves on with a moisturizer on inside them cause they crack and spilt and that shit hurts. Plus I don't wanna irritate my daughters face she's got sensitive skin

yeah, my gym has YORK plates and Eileko discs that are older than Azzmador

Ossh lol

York makes great shit tho

Tfw everything in your gym in nearly new.

I love all the old shit

I want to buy the old ass bar that I always use

and a set of the York plates

@Convo you're going to have calluses if you pull heavy. That's normal. Your hands aren't supposed to be shredded though, that indicates you're doing it wrong

new bar, no chalk, incorrect grip

do all three to REALLY fuck your hands up

oh ffs
