What to do with calluses that hurt? After workout I couldn’t even hold a toothbrush properly because it hurts. Also the calluses aren’t symmetric in both hands. Could it mean I’m not holding the dumbbells correctly?

    Make sure you place the bar/handle along the crease where your palm meets your fingers. That way your skin doesn’t get pinched, and callousing is reduced.

    A proper grip shouldn’t be painful, unless you’re doing hook grip for deadlifts.
