Girl friend don't like when she's holding hand.......

Not to say "soft skinned hand", at the very least to make the hand much more appealing. Further, i don't feel comfortable having rough patches on my hand. There's no need to sacrifice appeal to gain strength, your statement seems to suggest having calluses all over the body would be totally acceptable since it would mean you're superbly strong, though it could all boils down to individual preferences.

I disagree with your statement that gloves won't not make much of a different. I previously used the machines without gloves and i developed slight calluses on the upper part of my palm but with gloves on, it doesn't even appear.

I used to wear Maxx gloves, until I got inspired to get callouses on my palms.

Been lifting without gloves for a month now. Where's my callous? I have a small spot on my left palm.

Awesome.

For those who worry about callouses and not having gloves... watch this. Sorry I don't know how to put the vid on, so please watch it on YT.
