I'm going to start doing more snatch complexes and I think it will be essential for that. I've found that the thumbs really take a beating when lowering the weight more than anything. When I do tape my hands for those WODs that you just know are going to rip you up (lots of pull-ups, t2b, kb swings), I usually make the doubled-up tape straps that fit over your finger and then get secured at the wrist. They work wonders.<br /><br />-SheldonSheldonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04347584948247093228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268770205737244071.post-35621376002508172082012-01-17T22:54:26.453-05:002012-01-17T22:54:26.453-05:00thanks...i was hoping it was a good option. i'...thanks...i was hoping it was a good option. i'm about over it with tearing my hands.- the donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10319261415831972816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268770205737244071.post-44417922268529272642012-01-17T22:36:16.357-05:002012-01-17T22:36:16.357-05:00Donkey, good to go for pull ups.

I also think the regular tape is acceptable since that's what I used to use all the time, but if you get this flexible tape and it's all you have, it will definitely do the job, just maybe not as durable since it is porous and won't necessarily have multiple layers for a pull up taping like you would with wrapping the thumbs. I usually go around the thumbs twice. Good question.Chris P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00541717780115506753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268770205737244071.post-45480079369572518532012-01-17T22:25:41.945-05:002012-01-17T22:25:41.945-05:00how is it for pullups?how is it for pullups?donkeyhttp://entercursewordhere.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
