Skin Care for Climbers, Gripping & Calisthenics! (PREVENT SKIN RIPS!)

Skin Care for Climbers, Gripping & Calisthenics! (PREVENT SKIN RIPS!)

Hey everyone, Manuel here from Tykato Fitness. Today i'm going to show you how to care for
your skin, after for example climbing, or if you're gripping a pullup bar for a very
long time. Let's go! The first thing that i want to show you, that
you should invest in, is tape. Climbing tape.

You can buy this for 5 to 10 dollars. This is very inexpensive, and you can use
it to tape small injuries on your hands, for example; or if your skin rips from too many
pullups. So definitely invest in that! Now, when i come from the bouldering gym,
i'm going to take a little bit of warm water. Don't make it too warm, so that it doesn't
burn your skin.

About this. Drop a little bit of soap inside. And i'm doing this directly after coming home
from the climbing gym. Or after your workout! So.

Now i put my hands into this bubbly bath. Like this, and now i keep them inside of the
bath for about half a minute. Okay, half a minute is over. Now i take this brush, and brush off the skin
a little bit.

Like this, and then i rest them in the water
again, for half a minute. Okay, half a minute is over. Now i take my blanket, and make my hands clean,
and now i have a brush, like these. You can get them in the one dollar store,
or you could take these small sponges, that are very hard, and i use them basically to
clean the callouses off my hand.

Don't get rid of all the callous, but just
the upper areas. Like this, and don't make the mistake of going
into this direction, like this. This is wrong, because this will rip up your
skin, okay? Only go into this direction, this will protect
your callous. So, do this for a little bit, and switch the
hands.

And a little bit here, and then you should
be good. Into the water for a last time, clean the
hands again, and after i am done, i take a little bit of fat cream, and possibly with
D-Panthenol, and apply this to my hand. Now we are done here and my hands are as good
as new. Little bit of color here.

So, that's how you clean your hands after
bouldering, or after doing lots of pullups and how to care for them. And i hope you learned something new today,
and if you haven't already, please subscribe to my youtube channel. Goodbye everyone!.
