I just wanted to share a question that my DS had with the CFA and was answered by his FFR that some of you may find helpful (and it makes sense). He wanted to know if he could use some light gloves or tape on his hands to keep his skin from pinching during pull-ups and the response the FFR got back from admissions was "Anything that serves as an additional piece of equipment to improve performance is not allowed, and that would include tape or gloves".

This makes sense to me because in a case like this, grip would be very important in being able to do pull-ups etc, and you would need to build up those calluses. So, if you are using gloves now to work out in prep for the CFA...get those calluses going! :)

Luckily, DS is able to do the required pull-ups gloves or no gloves. ;)
