on tape and its use

split open another patch of finger again. i don't know the anatomical term for the part i injured. underknuckle?

note to self: apply tape BEFORE lifting to prevent splits. putting it on after the fingers are all split, sweaty, and chalky just makes the bar sticky. yeah, i could wear gloves, but i'd rather have tough skin. i keep hoping that with my deadlifting callouses, people will mistake me for someone who makes an honest living.

hasn't happened yet.
