The lining of the taping or kinesio тейпа



A simple and affordable way to protect the palm of your hand — make their own pads out of the patch. Buy a wide medical tape on a fabric basis (to protect a large area of the palm is better to choose patches from 5 cm wide). Coil plaster is also better to choose as large, as the loser is essentially disposable, but its creation requires a lot of tape.

It is important to carefully glue the strips to the bends did not reduce the area of lining. If every workout to wind a new plate, this way, and it is not the cheapest because of the constant purchase of new patches (tapes are even more expensive).

It happens that in the process of training they can break, but it is good to pin them on the wrist. A good pad can hold out until the end of the exercise and even be used on the following.

Pumice stone, clippers, and cream should be your friends. Remember, the epidermis is renewed quickly, so resistant to the crossbar of the hand cannot be trained. Sooner or later the object of your pride and adoration goes wrong — will be unpleasant. I like to remove keratinized rectangular blades — sold in any kiosk. Convenient!

Active protection — gloves Mechanix Original were to my liking. Tore, naturally, quickly, but on the autobahn, the grass is not growing. Were crawling in them, even the rope, even without magnesia. Adequately!

Pads — thing is purely Amateur. Professional gymnastic pads are formed on the palm in a long sladc, and this fold you applied to the projectile. Crossfitters of oboronki represent just a piece of skin. From minor troubles will keep, under heavy loads — rochestet hands. The patch should be applied. To make dense, strong clans, preferably on the whole hand is often the hand remained intact, but the place, who spoke for the clans, to take positions and always a good fix to avoid dangling design.

The lining of кожи



Another type of pads on your hands, but from the skin. Is a leather rectangle with two holes for fingers. Can be of different sizes depending on your hand. On the firmly fixed wrist strap and Velcro.

Durable enough design that even with heavy loads can last a long time.

Usually I love magnesite hands on training and not to reel tapes. Still have calluses have a tendency to Grubel, the skin becomes thicker and further blisters smaller.

Comprehensive подход



If you don't want to use the pads and gloves, then you need to act to forestall and take care of the hands. Before and after a workout to use a moisturizing hand cream. In the process of training to spare magnesia during intense exercise. And if the thickenings appear, wear gloves and watch carefully to prevent breakdown. When mazoli were calloused, they must be cut.

If there is a chance of failure, or forget to cut the corn, we have to ensure that during the exercise brush is not intercepted.

The clans use in rare cases, if very close to the probability of failure of corn, or already have an open wound. As the need to continue to train. And of course, outside of training, smeared with ointment (first aid) open wound, if available. published
