Combo Kit 8oz

Pros: - Leaves little to no residue on surfaces ("no transfer") once dry on your hands - Discreet, small bottle to take into the gym - Smells pretty good - Works like brick chalk for grip, provides good tackiness and grip Cons: - Requires more reapplications that the product seems to let on - Requires soap and water to remove - Contains some amount of rosin from what I've gathered about the ingredients (online research) - might not be safe to use on rock climbing routes due to potential for tacky build-up (climbers would know more about this) Overall Impression: I love this product for weight-lifting! Pretty affordable and the formulation is great as far as drying characteristics, grip strength and the fact that it really does reduce/eliminate transfer from your hands to keep chalk dust down compared to other liquid chalk products. Great for gyms that ban "chalk" as 95% of it stays on your hands and it comes with a discreet small bottle. Be sure to let it dry COMPLETELY before you use your hands or you risk it coming off easier and for courtesy, I would wipe off any barbells/dumbbells/equipment you use to remove the potential gum/rosin.

Works as advertised. I broke my left index finger a few years ago and struggle with grip strength in that hand due to lose of strength in that finger. As a powelifter this makes it hard to train at heavy weird for multi-rep because my grip falls after only a few reps. I also don't want to constantly rely on straps to compensate. Lastly my gym doesn't allow chalk go figure. Anyways I found liquid grip and hear are my thoughts. About a dime to nickel size run over hands like lotion and let them dry, this is crucial or it won't work the way you want it to, you might have to wave or shake hands to help air dry but only a few seconds. I have used for circuit workouts, gripping and un-gripping bars and push ups in one routine and powerlifting as well. It lasted at least 2 sets regardless of what I was doing, it didn't transfer to the bar, there is a very small transfer to cloths occasionally but barely noticeable. The smell isn't the greatest but its not unbearable. Its so super strong that you can smell it after its dried. It helped me get 8 reps at 225 before I couldn't hold the bar.

My gym doesn't have chalk nor does it allow it. Also, I am not a fan of using gloves. Bought this a few years back when I was living in Virginia and loved it. Bought it again because now I live overseas for work. I bring this everyday to the gym, apply a dime or nickel size amount, it last the entire workout (about an hour or hour and a half), grip improvement with no slippage is ON POINT, and it washes off easily after working out. If your worried about how fast it dries...it dries quickly just wave your hands around or shake em. I've shown other people this at the gym and they just rub their hands and stare at them after...Nah man you gotta shake your hands a bit to air dry em...takes a few seconds.

I've tried three different types of liquid grips. this was recommended to me by a friend who is a trainer. This is by far the best. It does leave white residue on the hands, as it is a liquid chalk. It works exceptionally well, zero slipping. Big fan.

This is the next best thing to using actual chalk in the gym. If I wasn't concerned with making a mess I would use chalk but this stuff works very well and completely avoids messes. One nickel-sized drop lasts me my entire workout meaning the small bottle lasts me about 15-20 workouts. My only complaint is the fragrance they add to it but after a few months of using this I don't really notice it anymore. I highly recommend this product.

My gym just completed a series of major renovations and has decided to ban chalk. This is a major annoyance, but it's their facility, and at the moment, I'm not able to find a new place that I like and can afford. Fine. Gloves are less than optimal as they are an added layer between your skin and the bar. I looked around and found this liquid grip at a reasonable price. I bought the kit, and really really like the small, portable bottle. It's really tiny, and fits well in my gym bag. I don't use the attached carabiner because well, I'm not in the mood to test management's...willingness to reason. I do need to put on maybe 2 or 3 small squirts of the stuff during a workout, but I used to re-chalk 2 or 3 times, so I'd call it even. The thing that is the hardest to get used to is the smell. It's a nice enough smell, but it smells a lot like tanning lotion. Since I'm not used to it yet, I find myself looking around the gym wondering who just slathered on the tanning stuff.

Update:After about 2 years of using this product, we're still purchasing it and using it regularly! We've tried a few other liquid chalks since and always return to this one. The only comparable chalk we've found is that of real chalk, but this is without the mess and it doesn't transfer to equipment. We've had a couple of the 1.5oz bottles stolen off our stuff which is always a bummer, but both husband and I rate this a solid 5/5 product... OG Review: I bought this to surprise my husband as he travels for work a lot and was warned at the temporary powerlifting gym he was attending for using regular chalk. I had mentioned this product a couple months prior after cleaning out the regular chalk that had exploded in his gym bag while traveling, and he was against it saying it'll never grip enough for the weight he's working with. He's a heavy-weight lifter so chalk makes a drastic difference. So, after being warned he tried a few workouts bare-handed and came out of those pretty frustrated. He finally got angry enough with the lack of intensity his now chalk-less workouts gave him to finally try this stuff....and was a a converted believer after the first use. Unless you use too much it dries on clear so really no one will know you're using "chalk" to begin with, and the small bottle came with a nice little clip for his gym bag so it's pretty discreet. The only downside is it does have a girly, almost lavender- smell to it but dissipates relatively quickly. A little dollop will go a long way, and on our lon

I’ve tried several liquid and solid chalks, this is by far the best one. Doesn’t fall and lasts almost a whole workout
