BSN Sports GSC Gym Chalk - 1lb

Works well and ko complaints

This is the first time I've purchased gym chalk and also the first time I've used it. I started getting to the point where the sweat on my hands were keeping me from being able to finish all my reps, so I tried baby powder just to see how that worked. It worked okay however it gave my hands a 'soft' feel to them, making my grip seem weak. I read the reviews for this product and saw others have tried baby powder as well and stated this gym chalk is way better so I ordered it. The first time I used it I was shocked at how much more gripping strength I had with this. It keeps your hand from sweating much and it somehow makes your grip almost twice as good as your bare hands. I also have a nice pair of weight lifting gloves, and this chalk is even way better than that. I was not only able to complete all of my reps for each set, I was also able to increase the amount of weight I use for everything I do thanks to the better grip. The chalk comes in little blocks. I put mine in a bucket and used the end of a screw driver handle to smash it into powder. This chalk is extremely soft and brittle which makes it very easy to mash it up to a powder to use. If you spend money on supplements or anything like that to help 'increase' performance to get you further, or past a little bump in the road, this product could seriously help with that. The price of this gym chalk compared to what it does for you is amazing.

La verdad no tenia ni idea que estaba comprando; me la pidieron en la clase de gimnasia de mi hija. Cuando llego me gusto la presentación, cada bloque por separado y envuelto de una manera muy practica; ademas ninguno llego roto o con excesivo polvo. Mi hija me dice que es muy durable, aun no se acaba el primer bloque y ya tiene 2 meses usándolo.

It works but it breaks apart extremely easily. Not necessarily a problem but I have used other brands and with those, you can apply the chalk like applying a bar of soap. Decent price, worth the buy.

Received this chalk yesterday. Decided to buy this over the Eco-ball because not only is the eco rarely in stock, but had read reviews about the eco compound not coming off the hands so easily. Anyway, this chalk is good. Improves grip immediately and with the very least amount of chalk applied. I will try it out for deadlifts which was the main reason I got it. I didn't want to mask my grip with straps or gloves. I am sure this will work just fine. Did bent rows yesterday and through all the sets, did not have to re-apply. One thing though, this removes all excuses for lifting, for a long time. You get a lot of it. And I used what amounted to about 3/4 of an inch of product. Maybe going in halfsies with a friend might be good for some. Again, great product at a sick value. Update: Used this for 1st time for Deads, and this chalk is ridiculous. Once you lift the weight, the bar just "digs" into your hand, no slip at all. And the best part, it reduces the chances of calluses and bleeding from calluses just because the bar does not slip. At least not for now. Can't believe I've lifted this long without using this.

Great Chalk, I still have it after 8 years. :)
