 Hey everybody Lance here and today I have a video for you newer lifters who are newer to the deadlift I Probably the question I get asked the most is why do my hands hurt so freakin badly when I'm deadlifting and so the idea is as Somebody who's been deadlifting for 10 years or so I I have a lot of dead skin built up in this area of my palm that gets pinched by the bar and my hand Right when I grab the bar I wrap my fingers around and this little fat part of my hand just bunches up And I get extra pressure Where my finger tendons go and so you have these little we call them calluses that build up So when I deadlift, you know, it's not necessarily comfortable, but it's not that bad, right? But for new people, there's there's two things that are really playing here One is the lack of callus development. So this callus is literally dead skin It's you don't feel it quite as fine as I do like in my palm where I have a lot of sensation So with time you build that up and it doesn't hurt so bad You don't necessarily need to grab gloves or change your grip. You just need to keep holding on and do You know the amount of work that you can tolerate The other point the second point is you're just not used to it. It's so new to you, right? This is something that only sickos would do and I'm sick enough in the head to keep doing that And you will be soon
