    Gloves are cute, started with gloves, but I learned a long time ago, even when lifting weights, the bare hand will adapt, and get stronger, it will propel you to get stronger. I learned that from Arnold, you never saw Mr. Universe training with gloves. Has worked for me 25 years!
    Cool channel, finally found a gym with bars!🙏💪❤

    What do you do for hand care/maintenance to avoid blisters and ripping and build skin strength? I heard you say that you shave your calluses. Do you use hand cream? Is there a point your hands reach when they will not tear anymore?

    • @rikkinetic
      @rikkinetic  3 месяца назад +1

      I don’t use hand cream. I sometimes will shave down or file down calluses if they get bad. It’s more about managing the work load I would say! Yes my hands rarely rip now but they do occasionally blister. If it’s hot and the bars are sticky I may just do less sets so like I said, it’s as much about being aware of when your hands have had enough as it is anything else ✋🏼🤚🏼

      @@rikkinetic Thank you. I appreciate your feedback and your videos. Trying to keep my shoulders healthy in response to a labrum, and possibly a rotator cuff, tear. Hanging, mobility, pull ups and general strengthening of shoulders have helped immensely. I see swinging on monkey bars as possibly contributing to improvement. Hard to find adult monkey bars in my part of the US. You seem to have access to many adult set ups. Interested in what public support looks like that leads municipality to invest.

      Yes we’ve been lucky in this area with recent investment!
      I do know of more further afield too and definitely more in other European countries that I know of!
      I believe some here have been down to investment campaigns driven by charities and maybe some lottery funding??

    The kids love doing those monkey bars!
    I was wandering why it is not so popular among the calisthenic athletes and once I started trying it I realize it is creating and irritating the calluses most of the any other calisthenic exercise. Unfortunately, it seems even the pros suffer.

    • @rikkinetic
      @rikkinetic  6 месяцев назад

      Yeah I guess that’s true for any professional athlete of any sport - be wary of doing anything that’s not directly needed for your sport that may cause injury!

    I just got a personal record workout on my home monkeybars, then jumped off, stretched my hands, and both my ring finger callouses just tore apart. Bugger! Going to have to heal and follow some advice. I can offer some too: whatever you do, don't do the dishes before hitting the monkeybars!

    What about chalk for the grip?

    • @rikkinetic
      @rikkinetic  Год назад

      Yes chalk will help with grip for sure
      I’d recommend dry chalk as opposed to liquid!
      I rarely use chalk mainly because I’ve not wanted to be reliant on it as I explain in the vid 🥷🏻

    • @jakemccoy
      @jakemccoy 3 месяца назад

      Liquid chalk caused my hands to rip fast. It’s good for pullups, but not for monkey bars. I am going to experiment with the opposite: putting Vaseline on my calluses before doing monkey bars.

  • @PeterWitzgall

    chalk and in between the right type of climbing gloves (tight fit, fairly thin). (friend uses honey)

    • @rikkinetic
      @rikkinetic  6 месяцев назад

      Ahh good tip, I’ve not heard of honey before 🍯
      Is it good to prevent ripping? Or good to condition the skin?
      Or both?😁✋🏼🤚🏼
      Or is honey good for healing sore or ripped hands?

    • @jakemccoy

      Liquid chalk ripped my hands up on monkey bars. The hands rotate under heavy load, but the skin on your hands wants to stay put against the bar. Rip!

    My Tip: Don’t use liquid chalk on monkey bars. The first time I used liquid chalk (3 days ago), my grip was great but my hands *RIPPED* after a short while.
    I was hoping you would discuss chalk. I want to know other people’s experience.

    • @rikkinetic
      @rikkinetic  3 месяца назад +1

      Yes my experience has been wet chalk definitely makes the hands more prone to ripping!
      I’ve not had that problem with dry chalk though

    What is your opinion on chalk? Also you said "simple pair of gloves" was there anything special about them? I use very thin ones designed for lifting stuff like boxes. I have heard kangaroo skin gloves are good, and very thin, however I have also seen very muscular/heavy guys using what look like padded gloves, like a soccer goalkeeper might have.

    • @rikkinetic
      @rikkinetic  Год назад +1

      Use chalk if you think it’ll help. I rarely use it but have done occasionally!
      In my experience, as liquid chalk is stickier (improved grip), it is more likely to rip the hands, so with that in mind I prefer dry chalk.
      I believe they were just weight lifting gloves with more of a rubber like palm which provided the extra grip
