Gloves as a Method to Avoid Fingerprints

„No, I will not continue my training, as I am afraid of injuries on my hands“, „Do you exercise with or without gloves?“ Such questions and their associated answers are often heard. I must admit that in the early stages of my street workout journey, I had problems with hand injuries and focused mainly on rotations on the bar. Almost every workout session ended for me with wounds on my hands, but that did not convince me to wear gloves regularly. I only wore them when it was really bad.

At the moment, I can confirm with absolute certainty that my decision was correct, as the prints are currently very strong, and I am able to train on various grips without any issues. Only after a highly intense workout do I start experiencing mild discomfort. Fingerprints resemble pull-ups on the bar - the more, the easier it will be during the next training. The main reason I have to wear gloves is the smooth grip. Even magnesium doesn't help in my case. If I do wear gloves, they are typically simple gardening gloves that cost just a few złoty. They are inexpensive and work exceptionally well.

I once attempted to exterminate prints and I strongly dissuade it. It has been uncovered that eradicating prints results in the formation of new, even more excruciating ones. Emerging prints frequently coincide with skin cracks on the finger joints, leading to extremely painful and enduring harm. Moreover, our own movements obstruct the recovery of the impaired skin. From my perspective, the optimal method for dealing with prints is through persistent training. How do you handle prints?
