Sports magnesia

Sports magnesia

— a magnesium carbonate-based product that dries the palms and improves grip on the barbell, pull-up bar, rings, or handles when hands sweat. In the gym context, it's often used for pull-ups, deadlifts, cable pulls, and kettlebell exercises to ensure a more stable grip and prevent the skin from sliding on the metal. Applying chalk to the pull-up bar before a set ensures that your hand won't slip even during long sets.
