Calluses are great, until they're not
Well-maintained calluses are part of the game.
Calluses protect your hands and help you handle the demands of grip-heavy training. But when they become thick, raised, and dry, they're much more likely to catch and tear.
Ripping your hands is a rite of passage for some grip-intensive sports. But it's not a long-term strategy for performance.
The goal isn't to remove your calluses. It's to keep them flat, healthy, and ready for training.
