bogz Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 (edited) (EDIT: topic should be "Is Chalk Allowed", not "I Chalk Allowed") I recently purchased a set of Iron Mind bending pads, and heard that putting chalk on them helps quite a bit. Well, I fought through my first yellow bend with no chalk the other night. I finally got my hands on some chalk, and rubbed it into the pads... What a difference! I could burn through a yellow easily. So is chalk 'legal' per Iron Mind? Thanks. Bogz. Edited August 15, 2005 by bogz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamidon Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Chalk is legal. With the IM pads it can be dangerous not to use it. If you are applying a ton of pressure and that bar spins you can get hurt.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogz Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 Nice to know. It almost feels like cheating using the chalk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Champlin Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Two questions 1-is the IM pad the best thing to use as opposed to say leather? 2-To cert do you have to use a IM pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porky Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 if ur hands get sweaty using im pads, and u bend something tough, ur hands will just slip on it, so rechalk the outsides as needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtime Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 gripperm - yes you have to use Ironmind pads. This is my opinion.., Ironmind pads suck,a nd are the worst thing you can use for bending aside from a dish rag, Leather is flexable, much more safer, and easier to bend with and much more forgiving on the hands..The only reason i would consider ever using ironmind pads is if i wanted to Cert, then i would give them away..
