Callus Care

I've had several people ask me about removing calluses from the hands. If you're doing a lot of gymnastics, weightlifting, grip training, or hand balancing (my 4 favorite hobbies) then calluses are an inevitability. They raise up and start to get pinched and can eventually rip off. This is a bit painful and a pain to deal with during training. Let me show you what to do to take care of things before you're leaving quarter size chunks of skin on the gym floor.

Taken from Beast Skills, read the rest here.

  2. That was a nasty little complex. I did yesterday's WoD today and todays yesterday.

    Did the complex with the 1.5 pood kettlebell, that sucked. I'm now drenched in sweat. Didn't take long for that to get heavy.

    Finished up with 3x3 Sots Presses at 8 kilos each arm to help with shoulder/hip flexibility.

    Times/scores from yesterday:
    1:07 400m
    54 Pull Ups
    61 Push Ups
    45 Sit Ups
    19 Tabata Squats
