I made a set of tape grips months ago, so using them.....this is the cheapest option by far. No hand issues since I started using them for high rep Pullup WODS. No issues switching to barbells as well, because it is just a layer of tape.

My $.02

Thanks guys. Good tips.

If you would rather buy some grips instead of taping all the time, google gymnast grips or take a look at Again Faster Equipment for their grips. Pretty much a strap of leather that slips over a couple of fingers with a velcro attachment at the wrist. They also are great for reducing forearm fatigue with lots of pull-ups and are not hard to slip off in transition to a barbell during a WOD. Pretty inexpensive as well, I got a pair for around $20 with shipping.

Tiffany,

How do you tape your hands?

"Eeee-ow-arggg-eeeesshh" - sounds falling shower water makes on your deephyder.

16:30 as Rx. Can't feel my arms, but I can feel my deephyders. TRAC had quite a showing over lunch, with 6 folks at the bubble. Couple new folks to CF learning the movements. Awesome!

James, performance enhancing drugs must be legal in the Aussie military. That can be the only feasible explanation for your time. I tip my hat to thee.

I agree with Mac, somewhere around the 15 mark my hands and grip went down the crapper. Thank you Derek for getting your tape for me mid-workout, it was a lifesaver!

"deephyder" - the seven deep bloody blisters you will get on your hyde if you don't tape your hands. Thanks for the bandaids Erin. Lesson learned. Ouch.

9:16. Grip strength seemed to be the limiting factor, somewhere around the 15 reps.

James, 6:55? Really? We need to program one WOD for you, and one for the rest of us mere mortals.
