Chalkness Monster Gym Chalk is dedicated to eliminating moisture and improving the grip of athletes across the globe. This Apex Chalk combo combines 100 grams of finely ground chalk powder with a refillable chalk ball with a unique open/shut slide strap.

That's why we designed the unique slide strap to enable refilling your favorite trusty chalk ball. Perfect for rock climbing, this finely ground, 100% magnesium carbonate chalk powder eliminates moisture and improves grip. The chalk ball fits 50 grams by itself. Get the most out of your game!

It’s good
I think they changed their formulation. I preferred it before when it was nice and crispy. But it is still nice.

BLOCKS crumble
Shipped quick, but blocks are very powdery. I couldn't even get the paper off the block without it breahing into pieces.

Grab thunder
As i was chalking up i could feel the power of Chalkness Monster coursing through my veins. I looked at my barbell and said, "it's about to go down." When i grabbed hold of that sucker i heard it wince it pain. I was slinging plates like they were weightless. After 30min my barbell cried, "bro, can we take a break? this sh*+ hurts!" And I was like, "shut up barbell!" Needless to say, I left that barbell sobbing like a baby when i was finally done.True story.

Chalk or flour?
I've given this chalk a week to grow on me; it has not. I purchased a full pound of this stuff and I'm afraid it's all going to go straight in the trash. When I opened the box I noticed that most of the individually packaged bricks we're already smashed or cracked. No big deal, I figured they were probably just handled a bit rough in shipping. It turns out, though, that this is the most brittle, crumbly, least chalk-y chalk that I have ever encountered. Most chalk sticks to your hands, this does not, most chalk holds together, this does not, most chalk gives a good friction grip, this does not. I have to admit, I'm a bit convinced that this is some sort of pressurized flour / baby powder mix. If I use it for my sweaty hands in the gym it functions more as a dredging than a drying agent. Chalk is to help you grab ahold of things, not to make your grip worse.

Crumbly cakes
Agreed with Mikael Dillon Sink, this chalk does not function as it needs to. Ours arrived in fine condition but once we opened it, the chalk just crumbles but not enough into a powder that you would expect chalk to do. Trying to rub it on hands is almost impossible since it's like rubbing rocks on your hands. What's interesting is that we used this brand a year ago and it was fine. Seems like something changed in their process or it just went "bad" if that's possible.

TRASH.
I have an asmr page and used to buy your gymchalk religiously because my followers really loved when I crumbled your chalk. “Your welcome for you increase of sales”. I’ve tried to even reach out to you guys to buy this product directly from you. (No response) It’s obvious since the holidays you guys switch your product up their isn’t any crunch to this gymchalk at all.. it breaks apart instantly. Never recommending this gymchalk again!

Waste of money
from Mike H. on June 17, 2018 This stuff is garbage it doesn't transfer to your hand at all I thought chalk was chalk I WAS WRONG, I was almost out of my last chalk block so I bought this product. This stuff is garbage it doesn't transfer to your hand at all... it just crumbles and makes a mess on the floor. and now I'm stuck with 8 blocks of chalk that I can't even use. DO NOT BUY THIS ,WASTE OF MONEY

Terrible all around
There is nothing impressive about the chalk what so ever. Extremely poor quality. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this product but they definitely under delivered much more than I thought they would.- Packaging not impressed. I dont really care if it comes in a cool colored catchy box..its chalk but the fact it was just tossed in a box, product packaging partly opened and scuffed just goes to show the lack of care and thought. Some filler would have been nice as every single piece was crushed.- The important part, the product. They mention even if it is crushed it works the same which I thought was funny..im buying the block for a reason. Extremely brittle. With the little chuncks that were left it broke on contact of hand.- Does not spread well. Better luck breaking down the blocks into powder and using that way.- Almost seemed like the Magnesium Carbonate was old or stale (not sure if thats possible)- End of the day - Extremely low quality product and everything about it shows.Will never buy again.

Weight lifting - Lasts for yearsss
I love this chalk! I use it mainly for my compound lifts like deadlifts, squats, & bench. It definitely helps with my grip. I can do so much weight on deadlifts now because I can have a good grip. Before 205 would slip off on the end of the 4th rep but now I can deadlift 235x5 and it won't slip halfway through a rep! My palms get super sweaty so this defineitly has helped. It's not too messy either. I believe this chalk will last me a long time, probably half a year or maybe even a full year. :) Okay I lied, so almost a year later I have only used 2 blocks. I crushed it into an empty container and I lost one at the gym so I had to open up a second block. This thing comes with 8 so I probably won’t need to buy chalk in years to come.

Works Great!
I have a crossfit gym in my garage in south Florida. Safe to say it gets hot even at 6am. This chalk is pretty inexpensive and worked great this morning while I did a workout that combined a bar movement and running. This is perfect if your are doing a work out where using gloves or straps doesn't work or if you are working on grip strength. Crossfit is all about grip strength so this is perfect in place of the straps I normally use on heavier bar lifts.

Average
When the package first arrived, I was like "oh, they forgot the chalk ball!". No, turns out it was inside the zip lock pouch, and some mess later, I had it in my chalk bag. However, my chalk bag is kinda small, so I decided I'd better empty out some chalk from the ball. I go to do that, and as soon as I touch the drawstring, it breaks. Very low quality.... I'm starting to get pretty annoyed, but I manage to empty some of the chalk ball back into the ziplock, and I tie the drawstring on the chalk ball shut.Then I go to chalk up, and find that only a tiny dusting of chalk will actually stick to my hands. As another reviewer put it, it was like flour. I was about to give the product 1 star, but I went climbing today and once my hands got slightly sweaty the chalk did begin to come out of the chalk ball and stick to my hands like normal. Not sure why it wasn't sticking initially. So, the chalk itself is average, as far as I can tell.Considering I bought this product specifically because of the refillable bag, and the drawstring broke on first use, I'm going to go with 3 stars. I'm not angry about my purchase (like I initially was), but I don't think I'd recommend it to friends.
