No Grip? No Problem

Just thought that I would share this quick one.  Do you need straps because your grip won't hold, and you find that chalk doesn't work?
Try going to a sporting goods store and buying a bag of rock rosin, that baseball players use.  Not the fine pitchers rosin.  That is really not great.  One bag of rock rosin will last you possibly years, and will cost probably under $20.00. All you have to do is pat it once or twice, gently.  You will be amazed at the difference. 
When I had my gym, there was always a bag available for members to use.  It's sticky, messy, and stinks.  You will have to wash your hands many times afterwards.
But it works.  You will want to keep it in a couple of small plastic bags, so the powder doesn't fall out.  Because most gym owners will have no idea what it is, trust me, you will probably never get asked to put it away.  If you are at a gym like I had, you may even find an owner like myself who would encourage the use of it. 
A little extra cleaning was a small price for me to pay, as I watched guys deadlift up to nearly 700 pounds, without sissy straps.
Try it.  It really works.
