Okay, real talk. What’s y’all’s take on using honey vs. chalk for grip?? :honeybee::hand_with_fingers_splayed: I swear by honey but my coach thinks I’m out of my mind.

I tried honey ONCE and it went soooo bad. Slippery bars = disaster :weary_face: Stick to chalk, fam.

stick_figure

Not to flex, but I tried a mix of honey and liquid chalk and it’s been :fire::fire::fire:. Perfect for those uneven bars flips!

Yo, just sprinkle a lil sugar into your chalk bag. Gives it a lil extra sticky kick. Trust the process! :candy:

Sugar in chalk?? Next y’all gonna say put salt in my Gatorade :thinking:.

LOL I tried honey and ended up tasting the bar mid-routine :woozy_face: Never again.

ICYMI: check out Olympic footage, some athletes sneak in a honey swipe before they go on. Pro strat or nah?

Legit saw a guy use Coke (the drink!) on his hands…carbonation grip or something? Weird flex but it worked? :face_with_raised_eyebrow::cup_with_straw:

gymcat

Coke sounds cray. Tried it once and literally buzzed through my routine. LOL never again!

Been in the game 5 years. Odorless white tack is where it’s at. Zero slip, zero stickiness, max performance. :flexed_biceps:

REAL question: does the type of chalk matter? I can’t even tell the difference between brands. :upside_down_face:

It’s all about that magnesium carbonate life. The finer the powder, the finer the grip :nerd_face:.

Yo, pro tip: layer the chalk. Chalk base, grip enhancer, chalk top. Tadaa – perfect grip sandwich :sandwich:.

Not kidding, I saw someone use peanut butter… and it actually worked?? But smells :nauseated_face:.

stunt_savage

LMAO peanut butter! Okay, but like, if it works, who am I to judge? Might have to try.

floor_frenzy

Anyone else just stick to OG, plain chalk? Or am I the only one not risking snack-time hands? :joy:

balance_beamie

Same here! I’m all for experimenting, but sometimes classic is best :woman_shrugging:.

Future goal: invent the ultimate grip gear that doesn’t involve tasting weird stuff mid-routine :crossed_fingers::thinking:.
