Calluses after high intense workout
Crossfit and calluses are long living friends. If you do
Crossfit long enough you will end up having ugly hands. Crossfit is a high
intensity workout that will make you have big calluses on your hands. The following
are the causes of calluses:-
- Kipping or butterfly pull-ups
- Snatches
- Kettle bell swings
- Rope climb
Why taking care of calluses is important?
Most athletes are proud of having calluses and think that
having it is a sign of working-out hard.
But what they don’t know that calluses will rip off and tear some skin
with it. That will affect their performance during the WOD (workout of the
day). Therefore, taking care of your hands and removing calluses before they
tear of some skin is a critical issue to keep building your strength and having
good technique.
This is a brief video tutorial of how to remove calluses
without tearing some skin off:-
