I still remember the first time I used chalk.

I was at Strength Camp with Elliott Hulse & he saw me struggling on the gymnastic rings as I attempted to do chin ups.

I jumped to the rings since they were high for me & kept slipping off.

Elliott said to put some chalk on - "it will help with the grip"

So I applied this powdery magic & I was able to grip the rings with easy instead of falling off.

After that moment I got hooked!

I started to use chalk on everything from barbells to bars to trees sometimes jaja

If you've never used chalk before & gripping a bar for a long time is holding you back from doing more pull ups then I highly encourage you to buy chalk.

Specially if you are practicing more advanced calisthenics moves like muscle ups & pull overs since they will create a lot of friction on your hands and leave you prone to ripping calluses or getting blisters.

All those hand injuries will still happen if you are training hard but chalk will help to minimize them.

Chalk is awesome & I love it but there is one problem:

Not all gyms allow you to use chalk

Some gyms prohibit the use of chalk since it can get messy & it can be hard to clean.

If that is the case at your gym I got a simple solution for you:

Use Liquid Chalk

This type of chalk is not messy & your gym won't have anything to complain about.

So you can finally get that extra layer of grip strength to help you do more pull ups & practice muscle ups without pissing off your gym.

Win win for both of you!

I am curious to know if you currently use chalk during your workouts?

If you do, what brand do you use?

Hit reply & let me know.

Keep killing it beast,
