GSC Gym Chalk - 1lb

Just getting straight to the detail with out holding anyone up unnecessarily. This product supplies you with chalk for a VERY LONG TIME well long enough for you to lift intensely heavy and see gains from your lifts for sure. Each block provides almost half of zip lock bag after being completely crushed to dust since in it's original form each block is a thick hard cube. All Praises be to GOD , this was most definitely worth the money and saves you energy and time in your workouts, because due to the fact that you don't have to waste a set of deadlifts just because your fingers slipped and gave up before your upper and lower body gave up when the weights become insanely heavy. With that in mind chalking up before every set gives you the optimum results in terms of performance in each lift so you can give everything you got without having sweaty & slippery hands. By GOD's permission this will also progressively improve your raw grip strength, granted that you do not use gloves or any intermediaries between the bar and your hands. Bottom of the line, it a beautiful product and very helpful especially at this price to keep resupplying yourselves shouldn't be a problem GOD willing.

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.

I thought as soon as I saw all of the five star ratings that this was what I was looking for, let me just say buyer beware, have your vacuum handy as soon as I unwrapped the first cake of chalk it broke in pieces, and pieces ended up all over the floor, now I have used chalk cakes many times in the gym and they did not crumble like this, I mean this is crazy fragile, I normally don't give bad reviews in less they really warrant it but this is not the quality I expected for a five star rated item Would hate to see how lower rated chalk cakes perform

I read a lot of reviews about "special" chalks and people mad because it was broken during shipping or doesn't hold form, or whatever other reason that was out there. I got this box, opened up my first, it was cracked, kept it on the paper in the holder I have for chalk. chalked up, had the grip of a bear. If it dries your hands up too much, just wash it off after your workout and put some lotion on your hands if that concerns you. I've been using the chalk daily, and I find this is some good stuff. If you're looking for a solid block of powder, be realistic, this is coming in the mail and has been bounced around the truck a few times. The packaging was gorilla proof (packed to the brim with air bags) and I still had 2 bricks cracked, but the other 6 were fine. pinch pieces off them and use it as you go. Wash your hands first, dry them well, then use it and you can't go wrong. My hands sweat a lot when I mess with metals and this kept my hands dry. Really nothing else I can say other than... it's chalk, and it dries my hands. That, my friends, is all it's required to be.

My wife and I have been climbing for about two months and went through our trial Black Diamond chalk balls that came with our harnesses. To replace it we ordered this chalk because it was cheap and essentially the exact same stuff (magnesium carbonate.) First impression - there's a ton of this stuff. You receive 8 bricks and while each one weighs only 2 ounces it produces quite a bit once broken up. I used an old protein drink container to hold 4 after I smashed them and it was about half full. On the walls - there was a certain quality to the Black Diamond chalk that this stuff seems to lack though once you get used to it it performs adequately. Additionally this stuff dries out the hands a bit more than the other chalk but when gripping a small crimp hold on an overhang or sloper it's usually good to have as little moisture as possible on your hands. I would say there is probably some sort of processing that black diamond does to their chalk that makes it feel the way it does but when all is said and done getting a pound of chalk for less than 15 bucks is a steal when it works as well as this stuff does. For climbing there isn't a much better deal than this stuff. Most of the major manufacturers use the same ingredients as this stuff contains and want to charge you 3 times as much for the same amount. If you're not particular about your chalk you can't go wrong with this.

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

Works well and ko complaints

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.

Es un buen producto, la verdad lo recomiendo para realizar entrenamientos en casa el unico detalle es que en el envio podrian podrian protegerlos mas ya que en mi caso, llego ya polvo cada cubo. El uso es exactamente igual pero debes pasarlo a un contenedor cerrado para protegerlo porque el papel donde viene envuelto no sirve. Si no fuera por estos detalles seria un producto excelente, por eso las 5 estrellas.

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.
