Deadlift grip slip...ideas?

Liquid chalk really dries your hands out even after you remove it. (At least mine.) If your man enough, moisturize the heck out of them afterwards. I have to moisturize my hands afterwards - especially in winter - my old parched skin dries and bleeds.0

Liquid chalk. All the awesomeness of chalk with much less mess. Also, mixed grip is awesome (even though you aren't interested), but it's a good idea to change which hand grips which way to evenly distribute the strain to the biceps.

Agree - mixed grip is awesome. If I didn't use a mixed grip I could not deadlift nearly as much.0 -

Interesting... I have crappy skin and react to all kinds of things, but liquid chalk's not one of them. I wash my hands with fairy liquid afterwards which seems to get it all off well, so perhaps that's the ticket - the right soap/detergent afterwards?

I do have super sensitive skin too so everything I use is mild, but despite that, the benefits of liquid chalk far out weigh that minor nit of mine.nakedraygun wrote: »Liquid chalk really dries your hands out even after you remove it.

ETA: Oh I do wash my hands before I leave the gym. Who the heck knows where those barbells have been. lol0 -

You can train your grip. I start with thumbless double overhead grip till I can do weight. Then I add the thumb. Then I do mix grip. My grip has got way stronger using this method.0 -
I use a chalk that is in a bag. It is really not messy at all. You just basically rub the bag around on your hands.0

I'm just kidding Jo (I have two bottles by my desk, one in my car, and two in gym bag and in all my bathrooms) - actually I agree with you completely. Lizard skin ain't sexy unless you're a lizard then carry on!0 -

That was me this morning.
I wiped my hands on my wicked awesome knee socks and was contemplating chalk.
So perfect timing OP!
Totally looking into the liquid chalk since I workout at home and I'm not interested in getting everything covered in chalk (I'd forget it's on my hands and touch something lol)0 -
I have the exact same problem with my hands sweating as soon as I start my work out. I bought some chalk thinking it would help and it literally did nothing but make a mess. My hands just sweat right through it. I haven't tried the liquid chalk so maybe it works better but unfortunately, chalk may not be your answer. I haven't been able to find any real solution for me besides doing less reps and wiping my hands off between.0

LOL- you'd be surprised- my fricking boyfriend thinks it's like poison- I'm like- seriously- get over yourself - it's winter- this is not that hard. I don't except or want you to have baby bottom smooth skin but for the love of Christ- once a week at least.0 -
LOL... tell him that a mineral oil (i.e. baby oil) bath is an amazing thing too. And give me bubbles...

I also own two emory boards, but they are mostly for filing down callouses.0 -

Liquid chalk, over/under grip or hook grip, as everyone has already said0

liquid chalk is a good option, but the spritzer clogs quickly, so be prepared to just dump it on your hands. I Wound up Just using good old chalk.
FYI the chalk clap right before a heavy deadlift is bad *kitten*...........until you inhale the chalk, go into a coughing fit and have to abort said heavy deadlift.....not that I would know personally.
