philnosko | Alternative to talc? | 27-04-2008 @ 18:12 | |
He's BACK Member 177, 1039 posts SQ 230, BP 155, DL 300685.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | As the title suggest Im looking for an alternative to talc when doing deadlifts. My gym has banned it. Im not too optimistic on this one but thought it would be a good idea to ask you guys. I can train elsewhere, it just means travelling out of town. | ||

I'm suspecting that he uses chalk for his hands and wondering if they'd just banned talc or chalk as well. I can pull ok without talc but I'd be f**ked without chalk. | ||

Loves rugby league ... Member 13, 14460 posts SQ 230, BP 180.5, DL 262.5673.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq Administrator | they havent banned chalk, the problem with talc is that certain members were over zealous with it and trapsing around teh gym making everything slippy, not so good when you have the old people in in the morning | ||

He's BACK Member 177, 1039 posts SQ 230, BP 155, DL 300685.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | Yeah I can just imagine the old women who clean in the morning slipping arse over tit! Icepick/Paul, I find anything over 180 becomes problematic as the bar rubs on my thighs and it grazes them quite severely. This also has the effect of slowing the rep down considerably. As such I would never consider lifting heavy with out it. Oh well, thanks for all the replies. I will just have to travel to do deadlifts elsewhere when I start doing them again | ||
