I'm using em too off your suggestion and have never lifted with real chalk. Do you find they are similar in function or is chalk superior?

Just as good imo.

I used regular chalk at my old gym. There is not a lot of difference between the two.

I am interested in giving the hook grip a go now. And glad, yes it won't feel to good your first go around but you will get used to it and quickly become a favorite. Your grip strength should not be as strong your first couple times because it will be uncomfortable. This is what a couple pals have said that use hook grip.

Here you go.

Its an online store run by Karl Gillingham. He's a pro strongman, his brother Brad is currently IPF #4 SHW, and his other brother Wade is a pro gripper and arm wrestler.

The whole site has stuff that works, and is at good pricing.

I am more interested in arm wrestling than anything else. I competed in local championships in Lebanon in armwrestling. Won one and got 2nd twice and 3rd once. Lebanon has some big mofos with rediculous strength.

I wonder where you can train for arm wrestling in toronto.

Thanks for the link broheim. Much appreciated.

Hey do you guys know of any good lifting belts that are under $50? My deadlift is stalled because I'm worried about my lower back and want to get a belt. Thanks.
