Gym Chalk Etiquette
Gym chalk is hardcore. But many gym-goers aren't. They don't like getting chalk on their clothing and
some gyms respond to complaints by becoming an anti-chalk gym. To prevent this from happening
, I've compiled a list of things to do and not do at the gym with gym chalk.
What to do:
1.Check with your gym on their chalk policy. If they don't mind chalk, get some. If they do mind chalk,
check out the alternatives listed below.
2.Store chalk in a chalk bag that won't let chalk get all over the place.
3.Stack the weights on the bar before chalking your hands to prevent chalk getting on the plates.
4.When chalking up your hands, place a towel under the chalk bag to prevent chalk from getting
on the floor and keep your hands in the bag.
5.Put chalk on your palms and fingers, especially where the weight of the bar will rest or where
you maintain grip. If you use a hook-grip for pulling, put some chalk on the back of your thumbs
to avoid slippage. If you can create
a cloud of chalk by slapping your hands together, you've used too much (don't do that though
because it draws attention).
6.Save the chalk for the last lift that you know you'll have trouble with in maintaining a grip.
7.Wipe down your hands, bar, and plates that you've left chalk imprints on. Keep the gym happy
and you'll be happy too.
8.If you are really hardcore, you can chalk your back for lowbar squats.
What not to do:
1.Do not chalk up for every lift. You are trying to get stronger, not develop a crutch. Only chalk up
for the lifts you know you will have a hard time with. You'll know once the bar starts to slip in your
hand despite your best grip.
2.Do not suddenly jump to really high weights. Your body needs to adjust. Just continue with your
lifting program progression. The chalk will remove progression barriers
