They are all in, howabout you? Got nutrition?
Our Best Shape of Your Life challenge begins TODAY. This benchmark workout will be repeated following the 4 week challenge to compare results along with bloodwork values, measurements, vital signs, and pictures. Plenty of opportunities to make it in and get your WOD on today, but if for some reason you can’t make it there will be another chance later this week (details to come.) Be sure to log your results and all modifications/substitutions in order to accurately compare post-challenge. Click here to download a Excel Spreadsheet that can be used to help track your challenge results on your local computer.
Tearing your hands hurts and can take weeks to recover. So how the heck do you prevent hand tears? Our recommendation is to build up tissue toloerance and improve grip without the aid of tape. However, this takes time so here is our professional tip of the day: make reusable tape gloves that will save your hands during high rep pull-up WOD’s.
First, start with a piece of tape that is more than double the length of your hand. Fold it in half lengthwise. Then, make a bend in it and keep the two sides as close as possible.
Next, take the roll of tape and tape from the bend at the top (the finger hole) all the way to the bottom and continue halfway up the back side. You’ll want two strips for each hand, which you’ll secure with a section of tape around the wrist and a section around the palm.
There you have it – when you’re done with your 30 minutes of pull-ups you can unwrap the wrist and palm and save the two finger strips. These are nearly as good as gymnast straps and can be used in your next marathon pull-up WOD. Enjoy!
