I got beat up a little this morning.
The workout beat the hell out of me. I went home torn, bleeding, and covered in welts. Of course, it’s really all my own fault.
- I never wear socks, so when we do deadlifts I always drag the bar up and down my bare shins.
- I haven’t mastered the kettlebell clean, so when the weight comes up it slaps the back of my wrist.
- I didn’t manage my calluses, so when it came time for kettlebell cleans and pullups, my hands were just asking to be ripped.
That lovely look on my face is me being mad at myself for not taking care of my hands. I didn’t finish the workout in part because it was so painful to complete the pullups.

I neglected my hands for too long. I’ll be laying on the Aquafor for a while. But you don’t have to. Here are some good resources to make sure you don’t rip ‘em.
