alt Hacker NewsHilariously, I anecdotally also can relate to this. I'm a competitive powerlifter and the calluses on my hands and fingers are most pronounced on the middle, ring, and pinky - with very little on the index.

I do pullups sometimes and I also observed this. I wonder if it is related to how index finger is not really in-line with the arm. When I look at my hand I can see that if U would draw extension lines from edges of my forearm they would contain middle, ring and pinky fingers, but not really the index finger.
Huh, now that you mention it, after rock climbing, I similarly got the least callused on my index finger. Even the base of my index near the palm is much less worn than the rest of the non-thumb fingers
