chalk/liquid chalk

[hansen215]

so today in the gym i was asked to not use chalk anymore for the reason that i get it everywhere and it durties the weights and equipment in my gym (all equipment is black so white chalk sticks out) i do not want to chanfge gyms and need the assistance of chalk in my workouts. has anyone here used liquid chalk? how does it compare to regular white chalk?

another think to look into is an eco ball. its not exactly the same as chalk, but it dries your hand out pretty well and gives good grip. was designed for rock climbers and it works pretty well IMO

Try using a baseball rosin bag, just keep it in a ziploc bag to keep the mess down.

Both ideas listed so far look like good options.

It's no replacement for chalk. Basically just keeps the hands dry.

I would ask if it was fine to use if you cleaned it up afterwards. Take one of those spray bottles used to clean benches etc, and clean it up.

We aren't the gyms money makers (for the most part). It's the moms who want to lose that baby fat but keep eating like shit, so it's a never ending cycle for them. And the fatass's who do the same thing, and buy the gyms other memberships, supplements, etc.

We're an inconvenience most of the time.

anyone use chalk at a Golds gym or a 24 hour super sport?

Any experiences?

Whats the best way to carry it around? ziplock bag?

How do you clean up after yourself?

Im thinking of buying some chalk but i know chain gyms would not allow it. Maybe theres a way?

Ive been asked not to use chalk. So now i have a little black gym sack, inside is a ziplock bag and inside that is chalk. I only need chalk on a few deadlift sets once a week, everything else i do my grip can handle on its own as long as i keep my calluses trimmed. So i just discretely get it on my hands while they are inside the black sack and minimize my mess.

Gyms today are more like social clubs.

I use the above product due to getting bitched at in for using chalk also. It gets the job done just fine.
