[QUOTE=dw;35206]This is kind of like chalk talk, but it doesn't fit in that thread...hahaha lol. ok, anyways, :D what do you guys do to not rip? I just got my grips a couple weeks ago after going into level 5, to help with the not ripping part. Any thing else to do?[/QUOTE]
Ok this is not much but at least it is something. Anyway do not put lotion on your hands before practice. Thats[ Read More... ]
Also...by keep practicing bars! It builds up your callouses and your skin. I had a few months break and went back to the gym today and did like 45 minutes of bars and got small rips on my hands and on the sides on the wrists, using the regular way of using tape grips under my grips like I usually do. So, keep working on bars helps to build up your skin!
lol :D I don't mean actually going to the refrigerator for the butter (or popsicles - that's a good one too!) for lip gloss. Like when you eat corn on the cob with butter, or something like that, and the butter gets on your lips, it's a good lip gloss like that, shiny and smooth lol.

For lip gloss, I like the raspberry fruit spritzers, I think from covergirl.
Some of the gymnasts choose to take off their glasses for gymnastics practice, if their number for their glasses isn't too high and they are stll comfortable without glasses. The young boys and girls that need their glasses on use the bands on their glasses to keep it on. But if you can wear contact lenses and are old enough for them, etc. it is much easier than glasses especially for[ Read More... ]
Also, when you're wrapping the tape going from your wrist, around your finger, and back to your wrist, making the strips, don't make it tight, the tape shouldn't be pulled - which is true in general, huh?! :D
There's a couple pictures of the taping you can do on your hands at http://gymnasticscoaching.com/?p=2110 that we're talking about here, for under your grips. This one shows the tape being around just the middle finger; you can also do it around the middle and ring finger, to get a wider surface area more easily - I like the 2-fingers way better, it's comfortable:
