fitup Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) I go to a gym club a couple of times a week and am used to use magnesium carbonate block chalk (2 oz. per block). However, it gets more and more difficult to get block chalk. May I know where do you buy block chalk? Did anyone here have encountered the same problem? My club is not happy with powder chalk as it causes a mess easily. Are there any alternatives to recommend?

Joshua Slocum Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 To buy block chalk, look for gymnastics or climbing supply stores. This is one I like: http://www.gymsupply.com/search.aspx?find=chalk Liquid chalk is an alternative if your club doesn't like solid chalk. You can actually make your own by just mixing solid chalk with rubbing alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitup Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Thanks for both replies.My club doesn't ban solid chalk but doesn't actually like powder chalk.I had a look at gymsupply.com you recommended. Liquid chalk is an option, but I personally like block chalk more if both available. Which one do you prefer?I found they also sells "chalk nuggets", but I haven't heard of it before. Has anyone tried it? Is it as good as block chalk? Edited December 12, 2014 by fitup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenEagle Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Since a block of chalk becomes powdered chalk as it is used. Get liquid chalk if your gym doesn't like powdered chalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Jones Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 +1 for liquid chalk. I swear by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Frigo Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Climbing supply stores (and Amazon) also have non-marking chalk substitute. It's a powder in a bag. It works great and doesn't leave a mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
