You're lucky, I don't even do bars and I rip from just doing chin ups etc

Probably just tougher or you don't do as much work

Do you use moisturizer and rub off callouses?

Some people just have more sensitive skin than others. I have very sensitive skin - I get blisters on my mouth from eating spicy food, and I get rips like crazy when it's humid out. I've had at least four this week. Others barely ever gets rips. We call them the lucky ones and we secretly hate them.
