Not gonna happen. Somehow I harbored the dream for a year now that as I get better in the sport, the calluses on my palms will slowly disappear. Talking to coaches who’s been crossfitting for many years put this illusion to rest. Welcome to the reality of any functional movement: your skin will get thicker. In more ways than one.
And as you can see from any prehistoric exhibit: calluses are definitely paleo…
In December my programming will shift to heavier gymnastics along with the Catalyst strength program so likely all callus theories will be properly tested once and for all..
