Using regular chalk?

[Elusus]

I can't find any lifting chalk in my area, I think I'm just going to order some online...however, could I just use regular talk for writing on boards.. I've never used chalk before, but I find my grip slipping on deadlifts and I think this is largely due to sweat..

basically, if I buy regular sidewalk, or board chalk, how do I apply the stuff?, so I crush is and put it on my hands?.. like I said I never used chalk before.. anyone know how to do this?

It's not the same stuff bro. Just go ahead and get the lifting chalk. You can get it from www.elitefts.com It is only like $10 for a Lb. which will last you a VERY long time. I ordered a lb. 6 months ago and I've only used 3 blocks in there.
