July 6, 2009: IF YOU DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN - TAKE CARE OF YOUR HANDS!



A lot of exercises we do put a lot of stress on the hands. When you have noticably raised calluses, they run a risk of tearing like this (and this isn't even a bad one). The only way we get better is by training, when you tear your hands up, you can't train with the same intensity - this leads to diminished results.

Grow accustomed to filing or cutting your calluses once or twice a week and use a pumice stone ($3 at Wal-Mart) while you're in the shower. Your hands will thank you!
