Deadlifts and sweaty hands

BhangraPrince

When I deadlifts my hands become sweaty usually after the 2nd lift. My gym doesn't allow chalk and I've used a towel to wipe the bar down but that really only works for another lift and then sweat again.It really throws off my rhythm. My question is any ideas or gloves that you deadlifters could recommend?

Liquid chalk if you can't use the normal stuff.

Will this Liquid Chalk make a sticky mess for the next guy about to use the bar after I'm finished?

liquid chalk or buy gloves that are uncomfortably tight. When I was in a similar situation (commercial gym with a chalk ban) I found that very tight gloves worked pretty well. The trick is to make sure they have no slack at all.

I train at a facility that does not allow chalk. This product leaves no trace.

I use gloves for certain lifts and always have liquid chalk in my bag

Unless you're using a ridiculous amount, nope. It was my go to when I still trained in a commercial gym.

I use gloves and have no problems. These are the ones I use - they have little rubber-like dots on the palms that really help me grip. I had ones with a soft leather palm before, these are so much better. Not sure if they make a men's version, but I would think the women's black in this would work for a man, just get the correct size. http://www.amazon.com/Meister-Womens-Lifting-Washable-Leather/dp/B00KHYGRQ0/ref=sr_1_1?s=sports-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1460418826&sr=1-1&keywords=meister+lifting+gloves

I make my own liquid chalk. Ground up chalk mixed with rubbing alcohol. You can YouTube it. It does leave some residue on the bar, but I just make sure to clean it up very well.

Liquid chalk or just use the chalk. My gym doesn't allow it either but it's only the power lifters who use it and when done quietly/clean no one makes a fuss.

my local gym doesn't allow chalk either, but i sneak it in , in a Tupperware in my gym bag and discretely put it on . and i wipe up afterwards
