Content to be Calused

Calluses are my friends.  Not the kind on feet, but the ones that develop on your hands from heavy weights or pull-up bars.  Oh yes.
They make me smile.
A while back some people suggested that I get weight lifting gloves because my hands hurt while trying to grip the pull-up bar.  At first it sounded like a good idea until they told me that calluses would develop if I didn’t get gloves.  That’s all I needed to hear to decide NOT to get gloves.  I want my own calluses!!
And now I’m starting to get them.  They’re not very pronounced yet.  Probably no one would notice them unless they tried to hold my hands.  But ain’t nobody trying to hold my hands so this is working out great.  (And if someone did try, he’d better be fine with calluses on my hands because I intend to continue developing them.)  :-)
So don’t stop now, calluses!  Let’s see more evidence of some great workouts!  WOO HOOO!!
