Sore Hands from Monkey Bars?

What to do with sore hands from monkey bars!
Monkey bars are a good workout and a lot of fun but what do you do to stop your hands getting sore?
Probably the most asked question I get when it comes to monkey bar workouts is what to do with sore hands? Watch this video to find out my tips for monkey bar hand treatment and see for the first time as I wear gloves on the monkey bars to see if they make a difference.
Are calluses good for the hands?

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!🙏💪❤

Thank you 🙏🏼😊 Yes indeed it’s just the initial period of getting used to bar work whilst the hands are soft ✋🏼🤚🏼

thanks rikki

[@rikkinetic]

You’re welcome ✋🏼🤚🏼😊

[@johnvancedar5354]

I prefer no gloves. I’ve only had a few blood blisters when I overdid my workout. I find glove’s slippery so I stick to my own mits.

[@rikkinetic]

Yes John ✋🏼🤚🏼🐒 hands made of tough stuff 💪🏼

[@user-jy2fz5uh7v]

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

[@rikkinetic]

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?

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]

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!

[@alien.fractal]

bare skin always feels good

[@rikkinetic]

Yes indeed ✋🏼🤚🏼😃💪🏼🐒

[@neelparmar252]

What about chalk for the grip?

[@rikkinetic]

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 🥷🏻

[@questor55]

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!

[@rikkinetic]

Congrats on your personal record 💪🏼🦍 Ha ha yes the soapy water is a sure way to soften the hands ✋🏼🤚🏼 not best prep for monkey bars

[@Agent77X]

Full Gloves!😊

[@rikkinetic]

Thanks Harry 😁 if it works for you, why not 🤷🏼‍♂️ 👊🏼😎🐒🥷🏻

4:24,Hi please could you tell the post code of this place??

[@rikkinetic]

If you’re talking about the park by the harbour side with the outdoor equipment? it’s Hamworthy park BH15 4DH Did you mean the location of the longest monkey bars?

[@sneakersfanT]

Yeah, I'd be happy to! I m live in Boscombe area, that I asked. Looks great, thanks for your answer Rikki💪👍😎

[@dandeveny4513]

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]

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
