The RIPT System
How the 3-Phase
Hand Care System Works
Calluses rip because they get too thick, too dry, or both. RIPT’s 3-phase system manages callus thickness, heals damage fast, and keeps skin pliable — so you never lose training days to torn hands.
Why Hands Rip (And Why Lotion Doesn’t Fix It)
Your body builds calluses to protect against friction. That’s good — you need them. The problem starts when calluses get too thick or too dry. Thick, rigid calluses catch on bars, rings, kettlebells, and tools. They fold, pinch, and tear away from the skin underneath. That’s a rip. Regular lotion adds moisture to the surface but doesn’t address callus thickness — the root cause. Gloves reduce friction but prevent your hands from adapting. Chalk dries skin further. You need a system that manages callus thickness while keeping skin hydrated and resilient.
The 3-Phase System
01
Condition
GRINDSTONE
Fine-grit pumice stone that thins and smooths rough calluses without removing them. Dry, thick skin tears. Thin, pliable calluses don’t. Use GRINDSTONE on dry hands 2–3 times per week to keep calluses at the ideal thickness — tough enough to protect, smooth enough not to catch and rip.
When to use: 2–3x weekly on dry hands, before training or after a shower
Key ingredients: Natural pumice stone

Repair
QUICK FIX
Apply to any fresh skin damage — rips, tears, blisters, cracks, friction burns. The beeswax base creates a protective barrier that seals the wound from bacteria, chalk, sweat, and chemicals. Coconut oil and essential oils penetrate damaged skin and accelerate healing from the inside out. Most athletes are back training in 2–3 days instead of 5–7.
When to use: Immediately after a rip or tear, then 2–3x daily until healed
Key ingredients: Beeswax, coconut oil, tea tree oil, lavender oil

Maintain
DAILY DOSE
Daily application keeps skin hydrated, pliable, and resistant to tearing. Use every morning and every night on any skin you work hard — palms, fingers, thumbs. Consistent maintenance is what separates athletes who rip constantly from those who rarely do. DAILY DOSE builds the resilient, conditioned skin that handles high-volume training.
When to use: Every morning and night — especially during heavy training blocks
Key ingredients: Shea butter, coconut oil, beeswax, vitamin E

Common Questions About Hand Care
How do you heal a hand rip fast?
Clean the wound, apply QUICK FIX immediately to seal it with a beeswax barrier, and reapply 2–3 times daily. Most athletes are back training in 2–3 days. Between sessions, use DAILY DOSE to keep the healing skin hydrated. The key is sealing the wound quickly and keeping it protected from chalk, sweat, and bacteria.
How do you prevent hand tears from pull-ups?
The #1 cause of pull-up rips is thick, dry calluses catching on the bar. Use GRINDSTONE 2–3 times per week to keep calluses smooth and thin. Apply DAILY DOSE every night to keep skin pliable. This combination builds hands that grip without tearing — even during high-rep sets.
What do rock climbers put on their hands?
Climbers use a combination of callus management (filing or pumice) and healing balms. RIPT’s 3-phase system covers both: GRINDSTONE manages callus thickness, QUICK FIX heals flappers and split tips, and DAILY DOSE maintains skin between sessions. Unlike climbing-specific balms that only moisturize, RIPT addresses the root cause — unmanaged calluses.
How long does a gymnastics rip take to heal?
Without treatment, a gymnastics rip typically takes 5–7 days to heal enough to train on. With QUICK FIX applied immediately and reapplied 2–3x daily, most gymnasts are back on bars in 2–3 days. Prevention is even better — regular GRINDSTONE use keeps calluses from getting thick enough to rip in the first place.
What is the best hand cream for cracked working hands?
Regular hand cream only addresses surface moisture. If your hands crack because of thick calluses, chemical exposure, or extreme conditions, you need a system. GRINDSTONE removes the thick callus ridges that split open. QUICK FIX seals and heals cracks with a beeswax barrier. DAILY DOSE keeps skin hydrated through harsh conditions. It’s the only 3-phase system built for hands that actually work hard.
How do you get rid of calluses from lifting weights?
You don’t want to remove calluses completely — you need them for grip. The goal is to keep them thin and smooth so they protect without tearing. Use GRINDSTONE on dry hands 2–3x weekly to shave down thick ridges. Follow with DAILY DOSE to keep the callus pliable. This gives you tough, functional calluses that don’t rip during deadlifts, cleans, or pull-ups.
