Whether to keep or remove bodybuilding callouses depends on personal preference and comfort. Here are some points to consider:

Keep Callouses:

Protection: Callouses can provide a protective layer on your hands, reducing the risk of blisters and tears during heavy lifting

Grip: They can enhance grip strength, which is beneficial for lifting weights.

Remove Callouses:
Aesthetics: Some people prefer the look of smooth hands and may choose to remove callouses for cosmetic reasons.

Comfort: If callouses become too thick or painful, removing them can provide relief.

Ultimately, it's a personal choice. If you decide to remove them, do so carefully to avoid injury. Regular maintenance, like using a pumice stone or hand cream, can help manage callouses without completely removing them.

Personally, I am someone who avoids straps,
Wraps and belts in favor of raw lifting, callouses never get to the point where they tear or bleed or feel like they don’t need to be there.

Years ago when I would use deadlifting straps on say 70% of my max lifts for reps ., then to go without straps hurt the hands like a beotch, around this time I went in full favor of Supra grip to push past obstacles and work my way up, I can’t find a bar at the gym that hurts my hands;

Random topic and it just flew into my head, wondering if these big lads on here grind down their callouses with pumice stones,
But then again, it’s about as hard to admit that as it is all the tranny porn you got downloaded on the browser
