All too often crossfit gets a bad rap because people will post pictures like the one above of their hands bloody and destroyed from any number of exercises we do in the gym. Not only should you never post pics of your bloodied hands you should avoid ripping them all together! 

2 times a week or so Ill use a PedEgg (basically a cheese grader for your hands and feet) to scrap my callouses at the end of my shower when my skin is at its softest to remove top layers. Nightly I will lather either shea butter, Badger Balm or Climb On all over my hands to help with sensitivity and soften up my callouses. Think about it as just another accessory to add to your wrist wraps and knee sleeves or just apart of your big set up routine like you would before a PR but either way implement this into your life! Since keeping up on taking care of my hands I have ripped very little and been able to grip a bar in training with less hand pain. Plus who doesnt love a little coconut mango shea butter smells??
