Liquid chalk can be a variation of normal
chalk (see:
magnesium carbonate) used to improve grip for sports, such as
rock climbing,
weight lifting, or
gymnastics.
Rock climbing Rock climbers use liquid chalk to prevent their hands from sweating. It may be used by climbers in situations where powdered chalk is restricted. It is preferred by some athletes because it remains effective longer and leaves less residue on rocks and equipment. Liquid chalk for rock climbers is made from
magnesium carbonate.
Other sports In other sports, liquid chalk is less beneficial to the athlete, because re-chalking can be done more easily between sets or rounds. However, some gyms require liquid chalk because it leaves less residue on gym equipment. Liquid chalk adheres to the hand better, reducing the need to re-chalk. == Ingredients ==
