Cramer Block Chalk & Liquid Gym Chalk, Magnesium Carbonate for Better Grip in Gymnastics, Weightlifting, Power Lifting, Pole Fitness, & Rock Climbing

Use them for lifting dumbbells helps with grip definitely a must for lifting heavy overall very well worth the investment. Definitely need a bucket or something chalk is a bit messy but what can you do right hah.

I train at a commercial gym and use this chalk primarily to make sure that I can hold onto the bar in the deadlift. I have been using liquid chalk for ease of use and to be inconspicuous. It has worked fine for the past three years. I've been able to hold onto the bar with a double overhand hookgrip recently getting up to a set of five at 470 pounds on the deadlift using liquid chalk.Then, I did some heavy farming for a few weeks that really messed up my grip and the bar was slipping out of my hand on the 4th and 5th reps, using liquid chalk. As luck would have it I was almost out of the liquid chalk and was going to reorder, but decided to switch to regular chalk to see if there would be a difference. The difference in grip switching to this Cramer chalk from liquid chalk was not subtle. Not once during the work set did I think about the bar slipping out of my hand. It was as if the bar was glued to my hands during the entire work set. This is huge, because if the bar is constantly feeling like it is going to slip out of your hands, it can mess up your form in several areas, because it is so distracting.This is the first review that I think I have written on Amazon and I never thought it would be about something as mundane as chalk. Putting the block into a tupperware container makes it just as easy to transport in the gym bag as liquid chalk, but it is far superior for grip. Don't settle for an inferior product for what you might think is a more convenient product.

Son says it works well

The chalk is great for sweat, grip, and not caking on your hands. The bricks are a little frail, so I would be careful where you place them in your gym bag. I usually take a chunk, then wipe in on my hands, then rub them together. That way I haven't dipped my entire hand in a bag of chalk, but the brick will disintegrate if you set it under your shaker bottle. Overall, very satisfied with this buy.

I ordered my last box in March of 2021. I have one block left and reordered today. It's more expensive but you get what you pay for. This chalk is outstanding, high quality. It's as good a product today and it was in 1978. Not many companies can say that. Order from Cramer and get the BEST!
