I did a ten minute set of kettlebell snatches last week and tore my left hand. I did another 10 minute set today and tore my right hand. So that's it for me for a while.

When I do sets and reps with the KB my hands are okay. But most every time i do a 10 minue set, I tear them. I know that these long sets are the standard for comparison in the KB community but I'm starting to think they have limitations as a training method. LOL. I'm going back to sets and reps.

As a KB fan, if my hands are messed up then my workouts suffer. I can never do the same volume at the intensity I like with torn up hands. As a teacher, torn hands are a mess because they can screw up your form while teaching and make you wince when the bell rubs the tear.

I'd be interested to hear how others deal with this.
