PICS
I am still in flux (hurhur) in how I feel about rips. On the one hand (hurhurhur), I appreciate the meaningful nature of an injury that occurs as a result of pushing one's body literally to the limits, particularly when it is achieved during a workout honoring a fallen hero. On the other hand, shredded-up palms definitely look really weird with my otherwise hyper-feminine pin-up style attire, and they also make it so I can't ever get a manicure without completely freaking out the nail tech with my gnarly man-hands.
It's worth it, though, especially when I showed it to my chiropractor (also a CrossFit cultist) and he cackled gently "bring me more." The flesh tears, but it mends, while the body grows.
Oh shit, here I am talking about exercise again. Sorry, dog.

Ah, yes badges of honor calluses(sp?) are. I went to summer camp eons ago when I was wee at UC Berkeley. One of the classes I took was gymnastics which was run by guys from the UCB team. I still remember coming in one day to find one of them in the corner using a razor blade to peel dead skin off his palms like he was slicing cheese

Flux is no wimp. But we knew that already. That looks like a minor wound, but it looks like there's a similar mostly healed spot right next to it. Nothing wrong with keeping fit.
And I lol'd at le Roi - stigmata.

We earn the scars we receive. Either way I blame you for my diet change and new direction in fitness. Thanks.
