How I Stopped My Calluses From Ripping During Workouts

I’ll admit it: I’m one of those people who love to work out. 
 Give me a kettlebell, a barbell, a pair of rings, or a pull-up bar and I’m thrilled. A sucker for punishment? Sure. Most CrossFitters are to some extent. 
But the improved health, physique, and strength that we get in exchange for a few hard workouts every week is totally worth it.

 

 

Here’s my one problem: calluses.

 

 

You know that saying, “No pain, no gain”? Well, after ripping my hands several times during benchmark workouts and Open qualifiers, I started to question that trade-off. 
I mean, calluses on my hands are badges of honor—indicative of a person who isn’t afraid to lift weights and move fast—but when those calluses rip and force me to miss workouts, they become extremely inconvenient—not to mention painful and unsightly.

I’ve tried all the standard remedies before with unimpressive results:

- filing them down with a shaver or pumice stone 
 - taping my hands, 
 - wearing gloves 
 - and loading my palms up with chalk. 
 For me, these methods yielded results that were at best temporary and at worst ineffective.

 

 

I thought there had to be a better way to manage my calluses and prevent hand tears. 

 

That’s when I found a cream called Banish My Callus by Emu Joy. 

 

Now, I’m not a dermatologist or anything, but when I see a skin care product that has no parabens or chemical preservatives in it, I have a feeling I’ve found a good product. 

 

Aside from its skin moisturizing properties, Banish My Callus is also: 

  •  all-natural and organic 
  •  anti-septic & anti-microbial, which can help heal existing hand tears and skin cracks 
  • an analgesic that can reduce joint aches and pains 

 

I started using it as directed--at least one hour pre-workout, so that the cream would have plenty of time to absorb into my skin. I also started using it right after showering and right before bed.

Then the magic happened. 
Within a few days of using Banish My Callus, the difference was noticeable. 
The couple tears I already had began to visibly heal, practically overnight, and my other calluses started holding up much better during workouts.* They were softer, so less likely to crack and rip, but just as importantly, they weren't so soft that they became overly-sensitive and inhibitive to my grip. 
 Now, not only am I able to hit my workouts without worrying about my calluses ripping, but I'm also able to chalk up less often mid-workout, because the chalk seems to stick to my hands better.

 

 

Banish My Callus now has a permanent place in my gym bag.

I couldn't be happier with what this product has done for my hands--and my workouts. I've even started letting my friends at the gym try it. A few of them commented about the distinct scent they noticed. Turns out that's from the clove oil that's added to the cream as a natural preservative. I'll take a little clove scent any day over rubbing petroleum-based chemicals into my skin! 
 And once they tried it, they started asking me how they could get their own supply. Banish My Callus is showing up all around my gym, and I've heard that people at other CrossFit gyms are starting to use it, too. 

 

 

Take it from me--try Banish My Callus today, and start making gains without so much pain!
