Reddit mentions of LIQUID GRIP 1.5oz

Key chain sized Liquid Chalk

Liquid grip works for me.

I use this liquid chalk and it is a game changer. Trust me, you won't regret it, it makes a huge difference!

I got the tiny bottle that fits in the pen sleeve of my backpack, plus a larger bottle to keep at home and refill the smaller bottle from (this combo kit). It's suspended in an alcohol-based solution, so you wipe it across your hands, let it dry (takes ~30 seconds), then let 'er rip. It washes off easily with soap and water, and doesn't leave chalk everywhere.

I've only used Liquid Grip but I like it. The small bottle lasted me a long time and now I have the bigger refill which, looking at my old Amazon orders, I've had for over a year and I think it's still only 1/2 gone.

If you wash your hands it comes right off so sometimes I have to put more on if I am doing 2 lifts where I need it, like Bench -> bathroom break -> OHP

I don't necessarily recommend this specific one, it's just the first one I found on amazon.
Liquid chalk is a very recommended alternative to chalk, it has the same effect on your hands just without the powdery mess.

I use this chalk. It works great. It has a fragrance though which might bother some people.

I don't use chalk and I also use mixed grip. I am sure chalk would help but just have never brought any. They do have Liquid Grip, which I have used and it helps a bit. May be worth checking out...

But, the first rep is usually fine for me. If I am going for sets of five, the last couple are brutal.

Yeah, I use the small keychain bottle as well (although every gym I've been to has allowed it).

>>it's intimidating to the majority in the gym but using wraps apparently isn't

Sickening logic on his part. Moving hundreds of pounds in weight is okay as long as you don't use chalk!

My gym doesn't allow chalk but I have been using this gel called Liquid Grip that I found on Amazon. It's basically a chalky alcohol-based lotion that really helps keep my hands dry during workouts. Over the past two months I went from deadlifting ~380 with straps to hitting my PR of 425 without straps!

The previous videos posted about shifting your grip to your fingers are also incredibly helpful.

My gym doesn't allow chalk. I use liquid grip, it works really well

Yes, but for Canada!

I've never tried it, but people in your situation swear by Liquid Grip.

As for when your calluses get big and scaly, I use one of those pedicure cheese-grater-looking things to smooth them out so they don't rip off during a workout.

I've started using Liquid Grip and really like it.

Depends on what she does - but if she lifts:

Liquid Grip

Squat Shoes

Microplates

Creatine - Incredibly cheap

Practical Programming - If she likes to read and if she wants to become more sophisticated with training programming

Foam rollers, water bottles, gym shorts\pants, etc. can be good too!

If you try it and like it, you can even make your own for a lot cheaper: Tutorial here

I have Liquid Grip and the stuff is awesome. Get the smallest thing you can because it will last you forever.

I use https://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Grip-LG-LG15-LIQUID-1-5oz/dp/B009M3OEV2/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1497293275&sr=8-3&keywords=liquid+chalk

only on DL's and only when above 315lbs. So far so good.

I'm a little late but as a trainer AND a bartender this is one of the few times my experiences can help!

Where are you doing the KB swings? CrossFit, martial arts, gym?

I ask because I'm curious to know if you just started KB swings (and how you're being taught). They really shouldn't be tearing up your hands like that, but if you just started doing that then there is going to be a "break in" period where your hands are just going to "toughen up," literally.

Make sure you're not gripping the bell super tight, that will really destroy your hands. It should "float" lightly in your hands and the momentum will keep it from flying off. Remember kettlebell swings are a lower body and core workout. Your hands and arms are just ropes attaching it to your body and thus shouldn't be flexed or tense.

You can also experiment with your grip on the bell. It's uncommon but I've seen folks use a hook grip on kettlebells. If you're also doing Oly lifts you might as well practice this anyways.

If it's the kettlebell itself that's too rough you can use regular old athletic tape on the handle and remove it when you're done.

Depending on where you're at chalk will help out tremendously. As someone mentioned you can also use liquid chalk (if you don't make it I've used this before for deadlifts)

Make sure you keep your hands nice and moisturized after your workouts. It'll help the callouses heal and prevent future blisters.

Make sure you also show off your gains when you serve otherwise you might as well just quit. Like everything.

Liquid chalk brah. http://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Grip-LG-LG15-LIQUID-1-5oz/dp/B009M3OEV2

Incredibly well. You rub it on like lotion or soap and the liquid evaporates leaving behind just the chalk on your hands. I use it every deadlift day, the tiny bottle lasted me about a month and a half.

well that one includes a big refill bottle that will last you a long time.

you can start with this: http://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Grip-LG-LG15-LIQUID-1-5oz/dp/B009M3OEV2/ref=sr_1_3?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1412089718&sr=1-3&keywords=liquid+grip

I was where you're at and what I found helped A LOT was getting liquid chalk, something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Liquidgrip-1-5oz-portions-1-5-ounce/dp/B009M3OEV2/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1509992383&sr=1-1&keywords=liquid+chalk

what I started doing was using double over-hand grip for all my warm up sets and then putting a little liquid chalk on my hands and using a mixed grip for my actual heavy sets. suddenly I could focus on form and lifting the weight instead of just trying to keep the bar from slipping out of my hands. my gym doesn't let you bring in chalk as far as I know so the liquid chalk is a less messy alternative. I didn't get the exact stuff in the link I put there but anything like that should be fine. plus, it's cheaper than straps and all that. hope this helps!

Can you buy online? I've heard this is a life saver, but it might be the very shit you hate
