I’ve never bought this before and have very little experience with it.

Can anybody recommend a good brand?

I'm waiting for Andy Seddon to get his shop up and running so I can buy some off him. Should be any day now. Check it out on FB

Andy Seddon from Bolton? I didn’t know he was opening a shop. What’s it called?

Is there much, or any, difference between brands, or is it pretty much all the same?

Can't imagine there being much difference tbh. I've only used MyProtein's stuff before though.

Yeah, that Andy. Stronglands heavy lifting company. You've liked it on FB! Lol

Ha ha. I’ve not seen anything from him for a while and had no idea what sort of stuff he’d be selling.

I’ll just get some stuff from Decathlon most likely. Cheers.

Big bens products are great. His liquid chalk is something id rate. Paul and i use some sometimes and just put 1 lot on at the start of training and it lasts ages on your hands, the decathlon liquid chalk i find rubs off quite quickly

Thanks for the tip. I’ll give it a bash.

If you're lifting somewhere else, make sure they're ok with it. Adlington Barbell certainly isn't. Foul stuff.

What makes you day that Rick? In my experience it’s just normal chalk in an alcohol type solution which evaporates off in seconds.

I've asked this question many times and still haven't really got a reasonable answer and I've talked to a few folk who don't like it/say it's too messy

I use it exclusively in my garage gym as it is far less (as in like 95%) messy than standard, regular loose chalk/chalk blocks - That's in terms of both the general platform area around where you are lifting and what mess is left on the bar after lifting (next to nothing on both counts)

The only way I can see it being an issue, is if people are not letting it dry before grabbing the bar as that would just cake it in chalk, but it would also defeat the purpose of using it in the first place as your hands would still be wet...

Weird. It's far less annoying and messy than normal chalk.

This is the main reason I’m buying it because one of the gyms I train at is a bit funny about chalk being used.
