Same, bhai—dumbbells have ripped the threads again.
Use gloves, bro, don't damage your hands thinking it'll make you stronger. It'll actually weaken your pull‑ups because the calluses get rubbed off against the bar.
Funny enough, after it ripped the first time, it never happened again even though I'm lifting heavier now.
Shave your calluses! You can use a pumice stone, a nail file, or a callus shaver.
You're holding the bar/handles wrong. You're gripping it with the palm, so under load the skin gets pinched between the bar and your fingers. Instead, grip the bar right at the base of your fingers; that'll cut down the callusing. Also, shave the calluses weekly after soaking in hot water.

Sorry for the off‑topic, but is it just me who finds the pinky finger way too small compared to the others?
I trim it with a nail cutter before it gets that bad.
Why is the pinky finger so tiny?
Looks like an infection is coming...
