Cleaning Chalk

[GutRott]

My gym doesn't allow chalk, they say it's to messy. Whats the best way to clean the chalk off of the bar/floor. Ive heard using a wet cloth and just wiping it down a few times works well.

Just find a new gym. No sense in trying to sneak around with chalk, their loss of a member and x amount of dollars a year not yours.

My gym doesnt like me using chalk especially the time when I put my box on a bench and knocked it off by accident and the block broke into several pieces and chalk went everywere lol, I just go over to the bin and rub it on my hands over the bin so any loose chalk just falls in the bin they dont seem to mind now I do that...

ask kindly if you can use it for specific exercises. dont throw chalk on for db curls. deads, db/bb rows, shrugs, olympic lifts, strongman lifts. thats all chalk should be used for.

I use chalk for everything. No reason not to. Everything feels slimy without chalk to dry it out.lol

in a normal fitness center though, this is what gets chalk banned. people chalking up for shoulder presses.

+1 but, if you have the space, just set up a true home gym so you can make your own rules and you save a lot of money.
