If you lift with gloves you're a puss IMO.
Have you ever seen a rower's hands? They get demolished. But past a certain point, the skin toughens and they learn to ignore blisters. Same with lifts.
I just tear off the hanging skin and keep going. If you squeeze the bar tight enough, it doesn't hurt. Look up "gate control theory of pain"

I wish my hands were stronger so I rotate my gloves out now quite a bit. I wear them only when doing dead lifts and shoulder lifts but I do find the pain helps me focus more since I forget about the scorching pain in my muscles and focus on the stinging pain in my hands. You get used to it but if you need something that is cheap just get some foam or cut a hand towel into two pieces and use that.

Is this really causing you that much pain?? I don't have rough, sandpaper hands and I barely even feel the callouses.
