[Help] What do I do to stop my hands getting destroyed?
This hasn't been a problem until recently, once my grip strength got much better and was able to make some great progress on my deadlifts. I developed callouses on the palms of my hands, right below the fingers. The only problem is now they are getting ripped off and cause bleeding sometimes. I tried gloves but they actually don't help with grip at all, resulting me in dropping weight to when it's too easy. What can I do?

I make sure I’m not gripping with folds of skin between my fingers and the bar. This reduced callouses ripping open and also made less form. In extreme cases use straps once they rip. You can continue to train without further ripping and switch back after it’s healed
