whats the best way to apply chalk now that the blocks are all powder. i dont want to make a mess as i will be the person cleaning it up.
 
Do what I do, bro. Abandon those soft blocks for stick chalk.

I get teh big fat sticks kids use to draw on sidewalks. You rub the stick on your hand and it helps just like block chalk... but it is harder so you don't have it getting all over the place. You can carry the stick in your pocket.
 
SG is the master of innovation... he has over 1000 uses for everyday chalk... one of the most overlooked is that he has developed a new feul insturmentality for his car, using standard school chalk. ;)

Better is the "Chalk doodle time travel" technique. Essentially it is a long series of random doodlings that open "worm hole." A worm hole is a complex rift overlapping layer upon layer of the universe. You don't really "time travel" so to speak... you simply enter one portal in the universe and come out another... often years or centuries apart.

A couple parents got pissed at me 'cuz the doodles looked like hop scotch. Long story.

ROFL!! That is awesome. Don't forget the old Chalk Army Knife... 135 tools for using and implimenting chalk into the everyday lives of civilians. :)

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.

I went to a climbing/outdoor store and got a refillable chalk pouch. The thing works wonderfully, it puts plenty of chalk on your hands but doesnt make a mess at all. And you can refill it whenever you need to. I just stick mine in a Zip Loc freezer bag (the bigger bags) roll the pouch in my hands inside the bag and Im all good to go with no mess.
 
I am all about the tuperware container. I mostly use the powder in it. I save the big chunks for chalking my back for squatting or chalking my knees prewrap.
 
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?

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.
 
B-fold ... you say that stick chalk isn't the same. Have you tried it? It may not be "as good" as block... but it works.

I'm old scholl when it comes to chalk. We used to rub our hands in the dirt... break down pieces of dry wall... etc... anything to get a little grip when we didn't have real chalk. The stick chalk is a major step up for me.

There is a reason why strength athletes use the good chalk (Magnesium Carbonate I think...)...because it is the best;)

I make my own chack by mixing plaster of paris with water. I use a bowl for a mold and use less water so that it's not so hard:)
 
Actually, baby powder does work. Although it is slick, it gets rid of all the sweat and prevents it from coming for a while :). All i know is that it works for me! Maybe when im doing 400+ lbs it will be different though.
