SPIDER CHALK 8oz Extreme Grip No Mess Weightlifting Liquid Chalk Made in The USA - Lab-Grade for Powerlifting and Gym

No mess, great grip and smell.

I use it for hook gripping. Works great. This was my 3rd bottle of this chalk!

I use this in my local community gym which doesn't readily have chalk available nor is it an environment where you want to make a big mess. This works well and lasts through my entire workout with little mess. Anything left around can easily be cleaned up with your common sanitation cleaner and a paper towel.

This chalk gets the job done and a bottle of this can really go the distance. My gym doesn't allow normal chalk, so I get by using liquid chalk which doesn't leave a mess behind. This stuff ensures that my pull ups and deadlifts are never limited by my grip slipping :)

Pros: gives you dryness of chalk w/o power mess. A little goes a long way for most. Can get away with using in gyms that don't allow powder chalk. Start with a couple of drops. You'll get the feel of how much you need.Cons: it DOES come off on bars and whatever else you touch. If your gym is picky...you may not get away with using it. It has a strong smell - sort of glue smell. I'm guessing it is some sort of bonding agent to help it stick to your hands.If you are in a very humid area (I'm in Florida) and CAN use chalk in the gym...this is still nice to get a base that is more sweat tolerant and dry the hands somewhat. You can add regular chalk on top.Note it does leave a residue on your hands. You can quickly rinse off, however when your hands dry there will likely be some leftover chalk. It will get chalk on your black leather interiors and steering wheel...so WASH your hands well to avoid this.

Listen, this is for commercial gyms that you can't use block chalk. Now if you want something comparable to block chalk, this is it. I've tried several other liquid chalks that are pretty decent but, Spider Chalk puts those to shame. This chalk is sticky, keeps the hands dry, and as a add bonus leaves almost no dust behind. If there is any dust it is very little and almost no transfer. For liquid chalk there is a lot of longevity. I got through an hour workout with deadlifts, shrugs, and other bar work without having to reapply. Yes the price is up there for liquid chalk, but it's worth it. If you're at a gym that allows the block chalk use that because it's just better for application. If not get this, follow the instructions, and get after it.

Works well. It smells like the color purple.

Spider Chalk must have a seriously effective promotional campaign to the extent that every where internet there are lauded with effusive praises. There is nothing enticing about this product except that it is "US-Made". If you're someone who deadlift more than 300 lbs, don't buy this product unless you want to apply chalk to your hands every 2 minutes PROFUSELY. And it takes 30 seconds to dry (a very long time indeed...) The bar keeps slipping out of my hand, and I have a STRONG grip (I do 405 conventional deadlifting with no strap).Worst liquid chalk I've ever used, period.
