Deadlifts and Callouses

Deadlifts are a regular part of my workout routine when I go to the gym with my class.  They are my favorite of the 4 Power Lifts (Power Lifts:  Deadlifts, Bench Press, Overhead Press, Squats).  On Saturday I was deadlifting 110 lbs., at about 8 reps, and I'll probably be able to go up in weight tomorrow. 

The deadlifts have left some crazy callouses on my hands.  Check it out:


Both of my hands have callouses across the palm of various sizes and degrees of callousiness.  Those callouses aren't going to go anywhere.  I've had them for over a year.  They give me a sense of accomplishment.
