The Crossfit Open
Posted by on
One thing that seems to be a common theme every year when the Crossfit Open starts, is the pure damage people do to their hands. We've all seen those posts. People will do pull ups (or another movement) so many times for one of the open workouts that it will lead to what is commonly called "flappers"; when you rip the calluses off your hands.
And sure enough, 20.2 brought out the flappers. The 20 minute As Many Rounds as Possible (AMRAP) workout of 4 dumbbell thrusters, 6 toes-to-bar, and 24 double-unders was enough to cause @luzmarfer11 to get a solid case of flappers.
We know flappers are going to happen during the Crossfit Games. It's relatively unavoidable. But what you can do is soothe those flappers and help them heal faster with our Antiseptic Healing Ointment. Get ready for the next round of the Crossfit Games faster with the proven healing power of Brave Soldier performance skin care products!

Friction Zone for that OTHER Kind of Biking
It's easy to assume that bicyclists are the only people who suffer from saddle sores. Don't make that mistake! Those other "bikers" (motorcycles) have to battle the same issue, especially when touring across the nation. We received a testimonial from an avid biker who recently tried our Friction Zone product for one of his long rides. Here's what [...]
Fall Marathon Training
As the weather starts to cool and the air becomes more crisp, a lot of you may be gearing up for a fall marathon. All those summer miles in the heat and humidity should yield some faster paces on your training runs this fall. And let's be honest, logging those long runs is going to [...]
Saying Goodbye to Summer 2019
With the end of Labor Day weekend, we are facing the last few weeks of summer 2019 and boy what a summer it's been! Filled with time with friends, BBQs, fun weekends at the lake/beach/pool and some fun training outside; soon those summer tans (and probably those tan lines) will fade, but the memories will [...]
From the Archives: Spartan North American Championship 2018
