    Preventing Rips

    Ever since summer practice started, I have been ripping at least once a week. Finally the big rip I had healed, but tonight I ripped again, twice. Does anybody have any suggestions for preventing the rips? I feel like it is hard for me to get in a good bar workout. I use tapegrips, but they kind...

    Rip Guardian?

    Anybody familiar with this stuff? Link Removed Wondering if it could possibly worth the $20 + shipping to send a pack with Kathy to Woodward, or if she'll be just fine with her bag balm and cut-up socks?

    The first rip..

    My daughter just got her first little rip right in the middle of her palm. She says it hurts when she swings on the bar and she has her last little meet this Sunday. Is there anything I can do for it to help it heal before the meet? It's still several days away so I'm hoping that's plenty of...

    Wrist Rips

    I know there are so many questions about rips on here already, but I keep ripping on my wrists. I wear dowel grips with normal wrist bands underneath. I have had these grips for about a year, and haven't had any problems until that past few months and now it happens all the time. I love the...

    Grips?! Rips?!

    Hi all, I have a question regarding grips and rips. I happen to have really sensitive skin that rips A LOT. I've tried everything from using lotion to pumice stones and even taping my hands before each bars workout. So far the taping is the only thing that's prevented the rips. I'm using...

    Rips

    I get at least one rip every practice, and rips really affect how I do on bars. I was wondering how do you prevent rips?! And how do you heal them?

    Rips! Nooo!

    I was at my 5-hour practice today, and bars was first. 15 minutes into bars, I got a rip the size of a quarter dollar on my hand!!! I now have four more littler ones that will rip on my Tuesday practice, and another two that might rip. How can I help my big one heal quickly, and minimize risk of...

    rips and infection?

    my hand ripped the other night while on bars, it was a bloody one. ( this was saturday) and now its red and isnt bleeding anymore though, if i put vitamin e on it, and put it in a plastic bag from like the grocery store on it while i sleep, will it get infected since its an open wound? ( i think)

    100% Shea Butter for rips

    I was looking for something to help keep my skin moisturized when I have a rip, since the fragrances in normal hand cream stings. I tried a few things out at Bath and Body Works and found their 100% Shea Butter and WOW!! It moisturizes REALLY WELL and instead of stinging it actually took away...

    This made my week (sorta gross, about a rip)

    Ok so this is a little gross- about rips- but y'all can handle it being gymnasts. Last night I got a rip on my hand. A decent sized one, too, one where the skin didn't tear completely off (which happens often, as I just right off the bar the moment I feel them happen.) I couldn't bare to...
