Griparn Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I don't use any chalk on my hands when Im training with my grippers and doing other griptraining. But I what I've seen on this board there is many that uses chalk when training. Why do some of you use chalk? Maybe there is some good reason that I have missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat 74 Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I use chalk on everything except the Rolling Thunder and other very slick objects. Chalk is a life saver on grippers and anything with some texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apdwler Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 ??? In what way is it a lifesaver?? I rarely use it, but I might try it a little more in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat 74 Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Well, it keeps them from slipping. It gives me about 1/4" difference in close on tough grippers do to the fact that it stays put. Same with knurling on a bar, it just helps. Lifesaver may have been a bit much, but it sure helps. That's all I was saying........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Say Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 No way, chalk IS a lifesaver! I put tons on everything! (except slippery stuff like my RT handle & slick milled plates) It's good for at least a few lbs on a plate curl, plate pinch & gripper squeeze.

Griparn Posted June 29, 2002 Author Share Posted June 29, 2002 Ok, thanks for the answers. I guess I have to buy some chalk soon. 1/4 of an inch ís quite much =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 Try the chalk on slick objects. IMHO, it does help. I've even tried Tom Black's #3 (it was chalked; mine aren't). I liked it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apdwler Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 I'm going to give it a try. I didn't have a lot of luck in the past, but maybe I will now. http://www.geocities.com/fightraining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
