Buy the woman some chalk.

and a different gym membership too then. "my" gym wont allow chalk, even though i work there. brings in the "wrong element" and is too much work for the cleanup staff, or something. either way they are all gay!

I wonder what the "right" element is supposed to be....overweight overpaid self indulgant baby boomers who pay for a year at a time then come in and use the bike for a week only to never be seen again? lol

Try a rosin bag. No mess and is almost as good as chalk. You can get them at any bowling ally or baseball equipment store damn cheap.

yes. or gay guys....

the wrong element scares off the gay guys with money. something about weights clanging, cursing, chalk all over and baggys and fanny packs that is like kryptonite to the "target" market.

plus....then the gym would have to spring for weights without handles on them and an actual real live power rack.

With chalk and a belt, most recent PR: 315x1

This Friday is deads with tires. The last time, I pulled a 295x8; 305x3. I expect to pulling MORE this time.

And remember: chalk is your friend.

Thats hilarious. You must belong to my gym (and I dont think I would do any pullthroughs there if that is the case).

Anyway, there is a big sign on the wall at my gym that has some rules.

One of them is no grunting or loud noises as it may be distracting.
(I think I have broken this one a few times on the last rep)

Another is no perfume or other scented body products of the sort because of people that have alergies and asthma.

I havent seen anyone there with chalk, and I doubt they would like it too well.

I am SOOOOO glad I chose to build a home gym rather than get a gym membership. I think that's all there is around here.....
