well i'll just throw this in there with the nay sayers of chalk. i'm a total believer in chalk. keeps the hands dry and improves grip. sure some places don't allow it (including the gym i train at) but they can make exceptions as long as you're responsible with it. eg. wiping off the plates and bar of any residue (i bring a towel just for that purpose) if the problem is sweaty hands, well they're only going to sweat more in gloves and make training that much more uncomfortable. never under-estimate the benefit of improving your grip. chalk helps and will help you develope grip, control, and staying tight which will ultimately lead to increased strength and gains. you can buy chalk at most gnc stores for 5 bucks for a block - which will last you probably a year
