Gym chalk and liquid chalk

The least mess comes from liquid magnesium and liquid chalk. You squeeze a small amount onto your palms, rub it in and let it dry, and according to the manufacturer this leaves a thin, dust-free layer on your hands. Liquid magnesium comes in 50, 100 and 200 ml bottles, liquid chalk in 59 and 100 ml packs, and some types contain chalk powder.

The classic choice is sports chalk in blocks, made from magnesium carbonate. You apply the chalk straight from the block to your palms and use as much as you need. You can choose a single 8.5 × 8.5 × 4.2 cm block or a pack of eight 9 × 9 × 4.5 cm blocks.

There’s less dust with chalk in a mesh bag. The fine powder is released gradually when you squeeze the bag, spreads evenly over your palms and, according to the manufacturer, spills less on the floor. The bags are sold individually and in packs of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10. Don’t apply chalk to broken skin, and wash your hands after training.
