B&G nation-- Check out this link that has a video showing how to tape your hands and also how to care for your calluses. This should help out some what: http://www.crossfitla.com/cms/index.php/Video/
Guys...I know that I am not the first to say this but seriously...tape your hands. Props to Dubbs for realizing that by continuing he was going to do more harm than good. A good rip can take you out of commission for a few days and it is not worth it. Shave your caluses, if you get a rip (and I've had many, that's why I'm lecturing) stop and find something else to do or at least cover the rip so it doesn't get worse. There was a whole lot of blood on bars today, which is unsanitary as hell, so if you rip, clean up.
Lastly, Meatwad, I won't post any pictures of torn hands. That would be like posting a picture of a broken down truck because we forgot to PMCS it. Your hands are part of your equipment, you should take care of them. Pushing through a workout once you really rip can take you out for days and then you miss training time. Unless it is a competition, I would say that pushing through rips is not really in your best interest and not something we should celebrate. I have ripped my hands before and I'm sure I will rip them again but everytime I do it, I later reflect on how stupid it was and how I let my ego get in the way of doing the smart thing.
accidentally did 18-14-12-10. Modified flying pull-ups Thanks much to SSG Card (DMI) for completely fixing my Deadlift form. Huge difference Did 229# for DL.
Just to be sure, every jump to a higher level counts as one pullup, and working your way down doesn't count for anything, right?
ReplyDeleteMac--That's right.
ReplyDeleteOh no...talk about bad omen's...my word verification below is burpees. I think I just threw up a little.
DNF...last flying pullup of the first round, tore a huge flapper...couldn't grip the DL bar. Might think about taping next time.

ReplyDeleteTough WOD. One tear per hand. Good times.
Recommended WOD for tomorrow: 1 round for time of continuous sleep. Longer is better.

ReplyDeleteScaled to 185#

5:20. Thanks to all your comments I wrapped my hands with plenty of tape before starting. Nice "relaxing" WOD on the legs after the last few days.
ReplyDeleteAnybody know if there is some tape over in the Crossfit room?
ReplyDelete9:09
ReplyDeleteGotta work on DL form...was just "muscling" the weight up after awhile. Hands feel great...
See you all tomorrow for CF Friday!
Is there a substitute for the flying pullups? We don't exactly have those capabilities at ft sill
ReplyDelete8:52 as rx'd
ReplyDeleteThanks to Sam for the push and we had a nice little group do the WOD at 1100.
The tape video was a great tool, my hands are very thankful.
7:31 (225# DL)
ReplyDeleteSolid group at 1100.

Just a thought.
12:22 as rx'd great WOD!
ReplyDeleteWorking my way back from a minor knee issue... scaled to 155# for Deadlifts. Clearly will go up in weight next time.
ReplyDeleteCompleted first two rounds w/ flying pull-ups.
Tore a callous on the last rep of the set of 14.
On the last set subbed regular pullups.
Time: 14:49
Regarding sub for flying pullups, I read elsewhere that Chest-to-Bar pullups are the next best thing (but no way equal) to flying Pull Ups.
12:05
ReplyDeleteSurprised myself on this one...
7:11...good WOD
ReplyDeletedid Wed. WOD- 12:47
ReplyDelete13:56

Had to sub sideways flying pull-ups on two adjacent bars. Destroyed my palms. No rips, just a lot of tender skin and developing blisters.
accidentally did 18-14-12-10.
ReplyDeleteModified flying pull-ups
Thanks much to SSG Card (DMI) for completely fixing my Deadlift form. Huge difference
Did 229# for DL.
