Olympic Rower's Hands After 1,000km Row

You just let it sit, calluses take awhile to heal. I did rowing for 3 years and when rowing season ends you have to moisturise ALLLL the time and like use puma stones to get it off. This guys hands would feel like sand paper

Hahaha I am a collegiate rower in the US there is no off season it's a four season sport. Your hands get blisters for a while at the beginning of every winter and every spring season because you switch from the erg (the indoor rowing machine) to an actual oar, and then after a few weeks your hands get used to it and you get some lowkey calluses which in most cases aren't that huge and you wouldn't notice them unless you were like rubbing someone's palm.

I only did school rowing so we had off seasons, obviously your training would be more intense then ours. Yeah I can't remember calluses actually bothering anyone, even when we poured meth on it to heal them up a bit. It was more the annoying scars some rowers would get on their knuckles when sculling
