Tried this stuff last night and i'm quite impressed,kept my hands dry throught the session,even when it looked as though it had worn off and you don't have to apply a lot either and dries in seconds.I don't lift massive numbers so i don't know if the same benefits would be had by those that do but for me it felt like my hands were stuck to the bar.Will know more on thursday when i do some deadlifting,mainly felt the benefits on bent over rowing last night.
It also didn't leave any marks on the equipment or clothes as stated in the blurb.
I don't know how it would compare with normal chalk cos i've not used it but if you go to a gym where chalk is banned then this could be a good alternative if you don't want to get caught wearing gay gloves.

yup ive used it too...

adv's - waaaaaay better 'coverage' of your hands than reg chalk, only have to apply once a session, not messy.

dvd's - about a zillion times more pricey than using a chalk ball.

Well, i have 180kg of plates, and i really don't weant to pull much more than that in my room (i fvcking detest trying to put a deadlift 1rm down gently) so i've decided once i pull that it's gym time, there's a place on the way to work i'm told has a couple power racks and stuff but is still a bit of a fitness place so i doubt they'll appreciate chalk, not looking forward to it but i fear it has to be done until i move somewhere with a garage

I just tried it once in a gym when i was trainig with this guy who used it....so i dont really know.

What i do know is that i have a chalk ball that ive been using for over 6months and its no smaller than when i 1st got it. I imagine the liquid would be finished by now.
