Help for her hands!!!
My dd is training alot of giants, clear hips etc, and her hands are on fire after she is done! She does not have a rip, but the calluses are huge, and I am afraid she will have one soon. Any tips on how to deal with calluses would be helpful too! Thanks in advance

You can use a pumice stone to shave/wear down the calluses. If they are not so big they are less likely to rip.

KBT will become famous soon enough
Plus when you have thick calluses they tend to rip deeper so ditto to shaving them down with a pumice stone.
