My hands get callused from lifting weights even while wearing gloves. Any advice?

I regularly lift pretty heavy weights %26amp; have tried several different gloves, yet I still get calluses on my hands. Is there any other way to minimize the calluses?My hands get callused from lifting weights even while wearing gloves. Any advice?
You should use chalk. This helps to keep your skin dry and tight. Not all gyms will allow it, but chalk will also improve your grip on heavy lifts. There is no problem with having calluses on your hands anyways, makes you look like more of a man than some pretty boy softy who sits at a computer all day.My hands get callused from lifting weights even while wearing gloves.

don't waste your money on gloves. they're worthless and look stupid. calluses are fine, in fact you want them. You just need to take proper care of them so that they do not get too large and rip off while gripping the bar. Every week or two you should take a knife, preferably dull, and scrape the excess skin off. Hold the blade perpendicular to your palm and run it back and forth over your callus. Then use a pumice stone to get the rest.
