i squished my chalk - what do i do

[leatherface]

I just use baby powder, works for me

I use honey or molasses... it gives me a good grip... and if it is extra thick... even better. The good news is, it usually stays on for quite sometime... much to the chagrin of other members.

I buy chalk bag balls from mountain climbing shop

its basicly a porous bag filled with powdered chalk, rub the bag on your hands and bar, and your good to go, much less messy!

Baby powder is slick, though. Wouldnt baby powder do exactly the opposite of chalk?

It isn't the same chalk at all...

Get a tupperware container and put your chalk in it...dip your hand in the powder and get a small bit in the palm of your hands..then rub them together.

Can I get an amen for the tupperware!!!! I'd be lost without mine.

Every major exercise...helps with grip.

do some gyms ban chalk for any reason other than it has a tendency to be messy? I do feel like a dork with straps on...but my grip sucks.

 

[zackdarnell]

Amen...

Yeah, me too. I cant imagine putting baby powder on your hands.
