At Heavy Handed we are dedicated to helping hard working people protect what often gets the most abuse, and the least care, their hands.
Like many of you, I’ve been a fitness enthusiast my entire life. That passion kicked into high gear after high school when team sports faded away, and I needed something to fuel my competitive side. I threw myself into everything—bodybuilding, marathons, obstacle course races, every group fitness class imaginable—and then I found CrossFit.
From my first class I was hooked, but it came with a price… Why am I always so sore and my hands are killing me?? I asked everyone what I should do about my cracked and bleeding hands and they all had the same answer, you need to buy these grips, or tape your hands before a WOD, and my personal favorite, once you tear just pack it full of chalk and keep working out.
The grips were annoying and I had to keep adjusting them through the workouts, the tape would fall off almost immediately once I started sweating, and packing tears full of chalk was well lets just say fu*k that! I was losing precious minutes from my workouts because I had to keep re-wrapping or chalking my hands and it was killing my times.
Meanwhile, I’ve spent the last 20 years working in construction—tough, hands-on work that only made the problem worse. Between turning wrenches all day and dealing with harsh materials like grout, my hands were taking a beating daily. Then it hit me: Why isn’t there a company focused on real hand care for people like me—lifters, workers, anyone who pushes their hands to the limit? That’s when Heavy Handed was born.
For most of us, fitness is the highlight of our day. We wake up early, train hard, then head to our 9-5s—whether that’s a desk job or a construction site. We shouldn’t have to be in constant pain from dry, damaged hands . Heavy Handed products hydrate dry skin to cut down on cracks and tears, smooth out calluses (without getting rid of them), and fight the damage from the stuff we love: sun, chalk, and barbells.
If you've made it this far you might be dealing with the same. Give HH a shot! With our money-back guarantee, what have you got to lose except those unwanted rips and tears?
Keep going hard and stop being Heavy Handed!
