does chalk help with your calluses? i read somewhere that if you have calluses then grip the bar with your palm and not your fingers. in the sense, upon lift-off, the bar should be in your palms.....maybe that will help. i have calluses but it doesnt bother me...they don't rip or anything...i scrub them every week to make them soft(er).
