This will help to prevent your hands from ripping.
This is no magic formula, this is something I have been doing during times when I started out with calisthenics and my hands hurt a lot in the beginning and this has stuck to me since then. Just to clarify is that when you are starting out, and it’s your first time hanging on the bar, going to the gym, you will have pain, you will build callouses that will hurt in the beginning. Everybody just needs to go through it.
The ONLY 2 things you really need are a Foot file and Nail clipper.

STEP ONE:
When you are done with your workout you wanna wash your hands directly afterward, especially if you have used chalk. This is to clean them out and not have dirt on your hands.
STEP TWO:
When you come home and you are about to shower this is where you are gonna use the foot file.
Soak your hands for a while, when that is done you take your foot file and scrub off the dead skin on your hands especially in the area where the calluses build up. You scrub then you wash your hands and the foot file from the dead skin that you have scrubbed of, do this a complete of times until your hands feel smoother.
The hardest part will be in the middle of the palm, not all get callouses right on that spot, mostly it’s people that are swinging on the bar a lot.
The thing is you do not want to smooth out all of the “thick” skin also called callouses, but you want to prevent that the callouses to build up to big mountains on your hands.
STEP THREE
After you have done step two you wanna check if you got some calluses that have not smoothed out. If your calluses are like triangles mountains you want to cut them with the nail clippers.
Now when you have cut the edges or the mountains that I call it, you wanna use the foot file again to smooth out the area, wash your hands afterward and you are done.
EXTRA TIPS:
The first one is to drink enough water, you do not want to be dehydrated and get dry skin, that will increase the chances that you rip. So drink your water.
The second one is to add the WOD repair lotion after you have showered, WOD REPAIR LOTION that I have been using for years to help my hands to heal faster, it does not smell so good but for me, it has done the work. I have tried some other products but this is the one I got stuck to.
Some of you might be asking:
Why do not use gloves when working out?
Well, I personally do not like it because I do not get a good grip as I want to and it’s more slippery with gloves, especially if you are swinging and doing Dynamics tricks on the bar.
