Lifting Chalk.

Helps you maintain grip.

I use chalk, not just for deads, but for seated rows, dumbbell rows and even bench press. I find it helps me to connect with the bar a little better, mentally and physically. Also most commercial gyms have cheap crappy bars with dull slippery knurling. Chalk makes a huge difference if you are lifting with crappy bars and not using straps.

Amen to that. I use chalk for lat pulldown as well since the gym decided to replace the metal bars with plastic handled ones lol.

I had to switch from regular to liquid, I now make my own with isopropanol, but it's runnier and slightly messier than the Liquid Grip
 
Really? I must try dry chalk again, I didn't notice any difference.. I do put copious amounts of the wet stuff on and it takes about 2 minutes to dry, thats the only downside.
 
You can get some from anaconda which is made from magnesium cabonate which what lifting chalk pretty much is, I got a small block for like 3 bux does the job.
