How not to rip hands

Recommended Posts

So every time i exercise on the jumpy wooden gymnastics bar i eventually rip a hole in the middle of my palm (see picture below). With the basic calluses on and under fingers it is easy - i can just shave them off and dont get them ripped. But for this one it doesnt even look like theres anything that could rip off. What should i do to prevent these?

- First and foremost; do not do too much.  No amount of handcare or grips or tape will make up for a failure to be prudent in your training.

 

- Second; when you do over indulge stop as soon as your hands begin to feel a little bit 'hot'.  Still want to train more?  Tough.  Stop anyway.

 

- Third; soak your hands in super-saturated salt water when feeling that 'hot' is either on the way or already arrived.

Why is that good to do?

I have an entire forum essay written on it.    But you will need to use the forum search function, I need to head out.
