Back by popular demand the tape glove post…
Tearing your hands hurts and can take two weeks to recover from. So how the heck do you prevent hand tears? Our recommendation is to build up tissue tolerance 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. (Keep hands callous free daily with a pumice or heel shaver).
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 20 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 Enjoi!
New Years WOD's, fun and booze free. For those of you who have asked, we will be having an intimate gathering at the Verve (OLD), on New Years eve if you are interested in a sober New Year with a few work outs, food and board games to boot. Come with a chair to lounge in, some work out clothes to kick some ass in and some games to share while we wait for the New Year. Be there at 8pm sharp to before the first 3.2.1..GO!
