Gymnastics Grip Tape Chalk Rotation
Gymnastics grip tape chalk rotation alternates chalk, tape, and bare-hand days—tape high-volume rig sessions so palms recover between CrossFit gymnastics weeks.
Gymnastics grip tape chalk rotation alternates bare-hand technique days, light chalk sessions, and taped high-volume days so palm skin recovers between rig-heavy weeks. Tape covers hot spots—not the entire palm unless tears are imminent.
Change tape when sweat loosens edges; rolled tape blisters worse than no tape. Chalk when hands are slightly moist; rechalk after long rows that wash grip dry.

Common questions
-
When should I tape hands for CrossFit pull-ups?
Tape when high rep rig work stacks within a few days or hot spots burn before tears open. Rotate taped days with bare-hand technique work—constant tape hides callus maintenance needs.
