If you have been training hard lately, most likely you have formed calluses on your hands. To help you “pre-hab,” we already shared some tips on how to best take care of your hands including shaving down those calluses regularly and washing and moisturizing your hands accordingly. But just in case you do rip your hands it is possible to continue training — read on to find out how.


Did you know? At night, cover your hand with a soft sock or glove after putting ointment on the rip — it will heal faster.

How to treat hand rips once they occur: 

If you do tear, treat the wound as quickly as possible.

First, make sure you wash all chalk out of the wound.

Next, clean the wound well to remove any blood, impurities, or possible bacteria.

Finally, use a good antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and keep it covered as much as possible for the first day or two to foster healing. The ointment will help quicken healing and keep the tear moisturized.


Remember to do three things before you go to bed that night:

1. Wash your hands with soap and water one more time.

2. Apply a generous amount of Neosporin to the fresh wound.

3. Cover the wound with a small bandage or tape. This will allow the Neosporin to do its job overnight to keep the area moist and prevent infection.

To speed recovery during the night: Cover your hands with a sock or glove to keep the ointment on your hand and not on your sheets.  This treatment should continue until the rip has been covered by new skin.

Got tape?  Not only can you re-use tape straps, but you can also make straps in advance for future use. Want extra protection? Make multiple straps (up to one per finger) to wear during the workout.

Taping Strategies

Step 1: Measure out a piece of athletic tape from the end of your finger past the base of your hand (longer is fine; too short and you’ll have to start over), and then double that length before cutting it.

Step 2: Fold the tape in half, length-wise.

Step 3: Fold this piece back on itself to make a loop large enough for your finger to fit through.

Step 4: Cut a second piece of tape to secure the seam between the folded tape, still leaving the loop exposed.

Step 5: Place finger through the loop and lay the strap across the palm of your hand (covering the rip); secure the strap to your wrist with more tape. The grip itself should be loose across your hand.
