There are so many Gyms and Personal Fitness businesses that have banned chalk powder. Why? Well, the reason why is that so many people have complained about its use. It can get in your lungs and can make bad things to happen. Also when the covid hit they removed it due to bacterial reasons. Now you and use Liquid Chalk
How does it get in your lungs?
Chalk is made from calcium carbonate and water to make a paste and is formed into a tube to make a chalk “crayon”. Then it is used on a blackboard to form words or images. While I have seen kids eat chalk when I was in grade school, that isn’t generally harmful to your digestive tract. However, when it is inhaled that can be a different story. When the teacher or student wrote on the chalkboard it created a fine mist of chalk dust that everyone in the classroom could breathe in. Can you imagine spending 30 years in a classroom as a teacher what their lungs look like?
Same issue with a Fitness Center. The personnel and clients are breathing in that chalk dust. That and it’s messy. Someone has to clean up that chalk dust every night.
Now comes the invention of Liquid chalk.
Liquid chalk has actually been around for quite a while. For those of you young enough to know what a typewriter is, then you might have used White-Out to correct mistakes. “Ah-ha”, you say.
These days, liquid chalk is used in the Gym or Fitness Center as a way to grip. Gripping a bell bar or a set of weights is much easier with chalk on your hands. That and it doesn’t leave behind a dust cloud when you use it.
This Liquid Chalk is good for hands that sweat, even under gloves. This chalk will help you get a grip, with or without gloves. And, if you wear gloves it is anti-bacterial.
So if you are a boxer, construction worker, golfer, or any person that wears a glove this product will help get rid of – wait for it – GLOVE FUNK.
Who uses Liquid Chalk?
As well as the examples above, other professions can use it also. Powerlifters, weight lifters, rock climbers, cross-fitters, gymnasts, or anyone that needs a good dry grip. Tennis players use it to hold onto that tennis racket. Arm Wrestlers use it to get a grip on another wrestler’s hand. Construction workers use it to grip a hammer.
The original Liquid Chalk is called Raw Grip and is white in color, Unicorn Tears is green and Blood of my Enemies is – you guess ed it – RED. Then when you are done, just wash it off as normal.
Now for some reason, you get torn or ripped hands, check something that will help heal your hands here.
