Chalk in Brisbane

[walt]

Thanks man. How many blocks do i need? And this may sound stupid but do i just put a little bit on my hands and clap my hands?

I just rub some at the base of my fingers. Its only really a big issue for pulls (deadlifts, bent rows and pull ups).

 

[walt]

i need it for dead lifts and ill be picking some up sometime this week. Okay ill rub it on my fingers. Ill just trial it.

they sell it that that supplement store near the police beat in garden city, under 10 bucks. works well for me

 

[walt]

Okay so i got mine today. For deadlifts, applying it on the fingers won't do a lot? I just rub my hand over it right?

 

[leachy]

Put it all over the inside of your hands and fingers!!

 

[walt]

okay thanks. Hopefully it doesn't go everywhere in the gym.

 

[leachy]

Lol who cares, I've bled at the gym before haha. Get a resin bag or just use a sealable plastic bag. You could try the liquid chalk, I've heard thats pretty mess free?

 

[walt]

K thanks leachy. Ill put it in a reseal-able bag.

god damn. who thought putting on some chalk could be so complex?

It gets pretty technical bro. You have to make sure each palm and finger is covered for optimal grip.

No need for that.

I used a thin sock put a block in there and tied a knot in it. I just bash it on each hand, rub together and good to go. Some people put it on thick but I find this is enough for the weight I'm lifting at the moment. It makes a bit of mess but I wouldn't be too concerned about it. I lift in my shed though so noone to complain about the mess but me. I think I got mine off ebay, came in a box of 8 blocks I think.

Yeah if i was not in gym, i wouldn't care about mess but I made a bit of a mess on saturday and just left it lol.
