MyProtein: MP Liquid Chalk

Liquid Chalk by Myprotein uses magnesium carbonate, the same chalk as you will see used by weightlifters in the Olympics but in a liquid form which has the big advantage of drying on your hands a few seconds after application and avoids the messiness associated with regular lifting chalk. It does not leave any stains on the equipment or clothing in the way regular gym chalk does and perhaps most importantly it is not banned as regular gym chalk frequently is.

Although not everyone may think their grip is an issue the fact remains that even on exercises where grip is not a limiting factor such as bicep curls, liquid chalk can still help you perform better by reducing the need to stabilise the weight in your hands and thereby allows for greater force transference to the bar so that you can lift more. This reduced need for stabilising the weight is in our opinion the biggest reason to use liquid chalk.
