thanks. I have found a thread on the crossfit message board on hand care that helped allot. I also realized that I need to change my grip for deadlifts. I found a picture on "Starting Strength" that showed that the bar is grasped just below the palm. I was redoing the crossfit totals the other day and stopped after a 400 lb DL with calluses on both hands that looked and felt like they were close to tearing. Next time, I'll be ready with a better, safer grip.
