Gymnasts Rips

[craizygymlvl7]

i finally got grips as a lvl 7 and everyone told me its wayy better which i agree except for the fact that i rip every single time im on bars since i got them
is this normal does it stop happening after i get used to it?
any advice or solutions would be fab thxx

I had the same thing happen. It’s mostly just because the leather is new and hasn’t broken in yet. Your hands are also hitting the bar at different spots now, so your skin basically has to toughen up again just like when you first started. Once the grips soften and your calluses adjust, the ripping stops."
