Let’s take a survey, how many times do you go to the gym one week? Once per week or every day? Nowadays, many people pay more attention to their body figure, spending several hours in the gym. If you are a fitness fan, you must be familiar with the gym chalk, especially for the exercise of the biceps. Weight lifting can help to build your muscle.

But have you ever do some research about gym chalk? How many kinds of chalk? And what are their advantages? Ok, in this post, we will share with you about the gym chalk types.

What is gym chalk?

The chalk for gymnastics is magnesium carbonate, and it can absorb the sweat and moisture on palms and fingers. Chalk is mostly used for power and Olympic lifting exercises, heavy barbell pulling exercises.
What are the categories of gym chalk?
Their main categories of gym chalk are bloc chalk, powder chalk, and liquid chalk. These three kinds of gym chalk have different characteristics.

Gym chalk block advantages:

The gym chalk block is just like soap; when you need to use them, you can just put them on your hand and rub the powder on your hands. So, it is very convenient to use.
If you are doing the exercise in the gym, you’d better take the block chalk because there is no extra powder flying around, and it won’t disturb other people.
But there is one problem: you can’t get the block chalk on your hands very evenly, especially rock climbing. It’s not possible that you take out of the bock chalk and rub it on your hands…

Powder Chalk advantages

Unlike block chalk, the powder chalk can be evenly distributed on your hands. Many outdoor sports are using powder chalk because they are easy to take and can keep your hands with the powder very evenly.
But if you want to do the exercise in the gym or other enclosed space, please use the block chalk. That’s because the powder will make people uncomfortable if flying in the air. And it can also keep the gym clean.
So, most gyms don’t allow chalk for the simple reason that it’s messy, for notice that when you put it on, even if you keep most of it in the container, it still tends to get all over the place. And since most people don’t make an effort to clean it up afterward, the gyms make a rule saying no chalk.

Liquid Chalk Advantages

The liquid chalk is easy to take and use. It would be best if you sprayed on your hands, and no need to worry pollute the air. Or the chalk will get and not be easy to use. So you can see that many indoor sports are using liquid chalk, like weight lifting, powerlifting, MMA, and gymnastics.
