few questions about squats/deads

[ExtraMile]

i get my chalk from a pet shop

i dont think my knees go over my toes on squats but they do at the start of a deadlift

i just rub the chalk all over the palms of my hands, and thumbs

yes i use a narrower grip on squats too

yes alot of people get bleeding shins from deads

about scraping ur shins. wear pants when u do deads...

about scraping ur shins. wear pants when u do deads...

i was actually going to do this, but i also thought this might decrease my ROM a bit (well at least in some pants i have) which would make it harder.. highly doubtful it would though.

Scotsman- yeah was probably dumb getting colored chalk but it's all they had haha. should i smush it up or just rub it on my hands before i do deads?

Not into mountain climbing bro, nearly died once rock climbing and have never tried again.

I hardly know anyone who rock climbs who is over 200 pounds, and most people are much lighter. Can't imagine someone as huge as you rock climbing

I haven't been rock climbing in about 18 years now and I was much smaller then.

Jdid- Crushing it up will work better. Also if it has that waxy texture on the outside scrape that off before crushing it.

oh and also, is it bad to have your knees over your toes? Mine don't go over my toes, but i am just wondering if this is a myth or not.

thanks man- read some of those articles and saw a lot of good stuff!

also, i returned the chalk and am going to purchase some lifting chalk online- might not have it for my next session, but i'll hopefully have it soon.

Any ideas on chalk i should buy? Thanks

I usually get mine from Inzer whenever I order new lifting gear. A box typically lasts me a couple years.
