Where do you guys get your chalk?

[Serea]

Any good online sources? I looked around at a few of the stores in the area and didn't see any.

I get mine at an athletic's store about 2-3 miles from my house. I have heard you can check gymnastics gyms and/or rock climbing stores, if you haven't already.

As for on-line, I have no idea because I haven't needed to look.

Any rock climbing store will have it as well as most major sporting goods stores.

i usually call my chalk source a few fays before i need the goods. we pick a place to meet, usually a restuarant. we both dress up like buisnessmen carrying breifcases. my breifcase has the appropriate funds in it, his contains the chalk. during luch we have a 3rd person pull a fire alarm, in the midst of the ensuing chaos, we each grab the other bag, so that no one notices. we calmy walk out, while nobody is the wiser. easy as pie.

seriously though, elitefts.com sells chalk, and i think you might find it on ebay. look for magnesium carbonate (i think thats what its called)

I like chalk balls from mountain climabing/outdoor sports shops

no mess, and no grounding needed

 

[bifteck]

i'd suggest a mountain equipment store like everyone else said, i still got mine left from when i used to do some indoor climbing

Anyone that has trained with me will say that my grip is stronger than I can handle.

I attribute it to a couple things;

1-years of manual labor
2-never using chalk and developing tremendous callouses.

I thought chalk was mostly to remove the sweat from the hands, does it really do anything to improve the grip? If so, no more chalk for me.

chalk just keeps your hands dry.

It allows me to grip 700+ pounds with a mixed grip, without it, I cant hold 495 for too long.

I have palms like catchers mitts but I find chalk helps reduce sweat slippage on higher rep sets.

It's not a crutch like straps or gloves IMO

i love chalk. sometimes i sniff the chalk. other times i pretend to use the chalk as soap, in the bathing fashion. and its fun to use chalk like war paint on your face, put of your lifitng gear and scare the normals.
