Women Rip! Competition tomorrow

[everydaygymnastics]

Hi

i had practice tonight the day before my competition and I did a bar routine and I ripped inside of a rip I got a few days ago. What should I do?

I swear by tea bags of any kind. Wet them with warm water, put them on the rip for about an hour, and then use vaseline or neosporine inside of a glove or sock overnight.
Also if you do or don't wear grips, get a tape grip.

Ok thank you so much, but for some reason my gym doesn’t let you use tape at a competition. But I am using a tea bag right now.

Tape a balloon to your hand. The back of the balloon will stick to your hand and the inside will rub, taking up the friction so your hand doesn’t take up the friction.

I have never heard this one before!

THis is a good one. My son used to get rips on his wrists from his grips and wristbands. This totally saved his wrists.

Definitely! Just be careful if you are allergic to latex.

Thank you! I used a balloon and a tape grip, and my rip was fine. I got a 9.4 on bars.

That's amazing! What level are you out of curiosity?
