A friendly reminder to all gym-goers · 10:31pm Aug 18th, 2016
Just wanted to remind all of you who go to the gym to be extra-careful when doing a new exercise that involves your hands. I was trying out some diagonal monkey bars and after climbing up and down twice, I noticed that the calluses on my hands were scrunched up in a way I've never seen before. I should have stopped, but decided to go up one more time. I did so, and when I landed I found that my calluses had been torn off my palms, and I have to deal with raw, exposed skin for however long it takes for them to heal, not to mention the lovely sensation of pouring hydrogen peroxide onto said skin every day to keep them clean.
If your skin acts funny in the gym, it's probably best to pay attention.
Yanking off calluses is never fun, did it to my self when using an mattock.
Thought you were talking about Pokemon Go at first
Anyway, ouch. Hope it heals soon.
