Ripped calluses. How to get through today's workou

[finallykrisb]

My hands got pretty ripped up Tuesday night from pullups. They are somewhat healed but I know I need to protect them tonight. Should I tape them? I imagine gloves would only create uncomfortable friction.

Yep, tape is what works best for me anyway. Was it from CrossFit? I usually notice that if we do a workout that's hard on the hands one day, they schedule something less...grippy...the next day.

Yep, from CF. I checked the WOD for today and it's 30 snatches for time. I'll have the coach help me with tape.

Isabel? We had a choice of Isabel or Grace this morning! (Grace is 30 clean jerks for time.) It was fun.

I did Grace but yeah, it was tough on the hands. Tape, tape, tape.

Isabel it is. This will be my first experience with snatches.

I like snatches. They are very technical and not really intuitive, though, so start with a lighter weight until you have the form down pat.

It was a really quick WOD, about 4-5 minutes for most people.
