      Great weightlifting chalk

      Pros

      • Affordable
      • Compact
      • Easy To Access Chalk
      • Lightweight
      • Provides grip

      Cons

        Best Uses

        • Climbing Gyms
        • Kettlebells
        • Weightlifting

        Comments about Metolius Chalk Block - 2 oz.:

        Great alternative to expensive weightlifting chalk. Provides lots of grip and prevents a slippery grip when Olympic lifting or kettlebell training. Always seen it in stock, and under $2 for 2-ounce blocks (gym chalk usually runs $10 for 2oz.).

            Comments about Metolius Chalk Block - 2 oz.:

            This is a great chalk product. I appreciate how inexpensive it is, as well as it's versatility. When I want loose chalk, I just grind this up in a mortar and pestle and add it to my chalk bag. It also works just as well in its block form, if you prefer less mess.

              Comments about Metolius Chalk Block - 2 oz.:

              I have used this product for two years now and I love it. It works well and is the most inexpensive chalk I've found. The fact that it comes as a solid piece means it leaves less of a mess and I only use as much as I need. As a result it is fairly long lasting.

                This chalk is great stuff I not only use it when I'm out climbing but when I pole vault to gain extra traction so my hands don't slide on the pole.
