There are a total of 126 Kettlebell Swings and 72 Pullups in this workout, if you’re at all worried about your hands, tape up! Go out and buy some cloth athletic tape and keep it in your gym bag, so when you need you have it. We’ll show you how to make some durable, re-usable grips.
Here’s the deal with gloves: We fully recognize the need to protect the hands. Many of you don’t like have ripped open palms and rough calluses. Well, neither do we. But gloves present an inherent problem in that the make things harder to grip. This can be mildly inconvenient to down right dangerous depending on the movement and your hand size. We prefer the natural protection provided by carefully nurtured and tended calluses. When you do rip nothing provides better protection than cloth athletic tape. It doesn’t put a lot of material in the hand and still covers and keeps your DNA off of the equipment.
Just checked a catalog with leather hand grips. They’re neither gloves or tape. You guys can go to http://www.ragefitness.com/ and click on store. The grips are only about $10.00 and from the looks of some of yalls hands, might be a good idea to try them.
Here’s the page Nate is talking about:

I like the look of those.
OK…. I purchased a pair… will provide a review soon! : )
Do they have them in fun colors.
only joking.
Ok, I just signed up for the Garage Games….. Should be interesting to see how that goes.
Yayyyy Blaise! You were so against signing up for them about 2 weeks ago! Glad you finally gave in! You will do great!
Buying hand grips now …. tape definitely helped me on the pullups today!
Hey I just came across this site… these look interesting

Nice Blaise! Yeah def need to get those hand grips!
Way to go blaise! You’re going to tear it up there dude.
I’m going to buy some too. My hands are destroyed from yesterday and been painful to do anything at all.
hey girls.. what size are you getting? I kind of have man hands so maybe I should get a medium? I don’t want them to be too big or too small!
Hey Kelly – I just ordered mine and you can figure out what size you need by measuring from the bottom of your ring finger down to the end of your hand. Mine came out right around 4 3/4 so I ordered the large. I would imagine you would need a medium size. I think I’d rather have them a little too long if anything so you have some slack to conform with your palm.
Hi Kelly!… I ordered a Medium…. my hands are pretty big!
Hope your gloves come in before Sunday’s WOD – Angie
thanks guys!! so why is there a “too small” limit on these postings?
