SPRI Chalk Block & Chalk Ball for Gymnastics, Rock Climbing, Bouldering, Rings, Weightlifting, Pool Billiards

These are a pretty solid piece of chalk, and extremely fine. While I've seen a couple of very small edges chip off, it's less than other brands that I've tried. That said, it's quite easy to get enough chalk off within a few seconds, and easily enough to coat my hands without going after it time after time. Thickness is somewhere near 1.5" and well suited for anything in a workout routine except for maybe climbing. I hold onto kettlebells and dumbbells up to 50# and don't need to recoat partway through 3-4 sets.Other knurled products like maces and clubs will remove some of this off your hands and coat the knurling, but only to the extent where it's visible, not where it affects the knurling. I've been using this multiple times a day now for a couple of months and haven't even begun to work my way through the first brick... probably last me a year or so and I can see the entire package lasting 3-5 years. Overall, this is a VERY good value for the money.As for the fairer gender and people who might have softer hands, don't be afraid that this is gritty. It's about the consistency of talcum powder but in a brick format. It's very comfortable to use without giving up any convenience or effectiveness.I can't attest to what happens if you drop it but while it would probably dust some and make a few more corner chips, I don't think it would break. However, as I use this around the house and don't want chalk to end up in other places, my brick is kept in a Rubbermaid container with a snap on lid.

Great Product I really like it. I can recommend it, I use this frequently in my training every week and I can say with no doubt, this is a good quality product

It’s just chalk and it works for tossing weight around. That is all. Enjoy!

This is a great option, especially for first-time chalk users. It’s easy to apply and provides a decent grip, though it’s not the most durable and may break easily with frequent use. For the price, there might be better alternatives available, but it still gets the job done. I used it for both shot put and discus—while it works great for shot put, I found it to be a poor choice for discus. If you're mainly focused on shot put and need an affordable chalk option, this could be a solid choice.

Crumbles a bit when unwrapping but works great in the gym.

I’ve bought this block a couple times. Good value lasts a long time. I work out 5 times a week, with at least three of those days involving Oly lifting. Chalk is a must and is used often. This stuff provides the necessary grip and doesn’t leave my hands overly dried out after a session. It also doesn’t leave chunky residue on the bar (but I do wipe down and brush the knurling on the barbell regularly). Good for pull ups as well.

I’m not a connoisseur of chalk, by any means, but I’ve picked up enough heavy things to know when something is making a huge difference. I feel like I have a harder time dropping a weight than I do holding onto it, now. Not too dusty and applies easily.

This chalk has been a game-changer for my lifting sessions. It provides excellent grip, keeping my hands dry and secure during workouts. Easy to break into smaller pieces and long-lasting, it's perfect for all my lifting needs. Highly recommended for any serious lifter! 💪
