Does chalk belong in the gym?

[INSOMNIA]

if i had to put money on it id say jt doesnt do deads or bb rows maybe shrugs but probably with weight light enough to grip thumbless and still be ok.

I would be willing to bet that as well.  To say chalk has no place in a gym is pretty silly. Either its a very fancy gym that doesnt go go up past 100lb dumbells or he really doesnt know how to workout.

amazingly Ive encountered lots of ppl in NYC that doent know what it is or its purpose. I'm one of the very few that use it.
with the humidity and sweaty, oily people all around me I'm totally lost without it.. i use it for almost everything.

I'm debating whether I should drop a 45 lb plate on your iphone, or just take it to the restroom and drop it in the crapper. Probably drop the plate on it as I have a feeling you will have no problem diving into the crapper after it.

BWAHAHAHAHA!

Anybody else believe this doesn't belong in gym's?  This stuff get's everywhere, affecting everybody, what if you have an iphone and you get chalk dust in it or get chalk on your other cell phone.  I mean comon people, if you don't have that strong of a grip then don't lift the weight, let your hands get stronger.  Maybe get some lifting gloves.

How much do you pull?

Only a person deathly afraid to deadlift at maximal ability would say that.  The only people I see using chalk deadlift 6 plates a side and up and as far as I'm concerned, when you're doing that, you own the gym whilst you're there.  Everybody else is playlifting and just wouldn't understand.

i can just imagine what some of these against chalk clowns look like

OMG thank god my gymnasium has a strict law against such a vile and disgusting practice ! 

I can't stand bitches who complain about using chalk in a gym. If your listening to music, how is chalk getting into your i-phone? You can't be listening and with your I-phone/mp3 laying on the floor or bench at the same time. Unless like you said originally, you were using your Cell phone, which has no place in a gym. Chalk does. On a positive note, your in a gym that bans chalk and you don't like it, so you're where you need to be. But them again, why are you bitching about it then?

I train at a powerlifting gym and the owner still hates chalk. Or more specifically he hates how people don't clean it up after they're done. It's easy to clean up. Use one of those spray bottles you use to clean up benches or tanning beds.

I just apply the chalk over the container so there is minimal mess. So minimal it can be cleaned by just wiping it off. There are those who chalk their backs and such and that could get messy but they should be cleaning up after themselves.

one could only wish everyone was as considerate as you, most people it looks like a chalk tornado just went through the weight pit after they are done

Yes if you are gonna use it be considerate of others and dont make a huge mess.  Shit is messy and who wants it on their good workout clothes?  Looks unsightly and slobish
