(Part 2) Best gymnastics accessories according to redditors

Liquid Chalk. It’s really been a game changer in my lifting, and no mess, so you can use it at any commercial gym.

I use this one and it’s very good.

All jokes aside... #JustDoLabItAtHome

You could try lat pulldowns with these.

gymnastics grips are specifically for this. Crossfitters like to use them too, since they do a lot of swinging

alternatively, get better at false grip

I would strongly recommend buying some wrist gloves that are used by bodybuilders to lift weights. Check these out, they come with a grip part in the middle.

This is some holographic tape that I really want to keep my bike Looking Good at Burning Man this year.



Thanks for doing this contest! You rock!!

I am new to "grip" training (been powerlifting/bodybuilding) for few around 6 years. "SUPER GRIPPERS" look awesome to me being adjustable. I dont care for certifications, i just really want to get stronger forearms as possible for me. My question is; are they good as they seem to be? Currently looking at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZXYP9XV/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1I1RXXZ29LZB1&psc=1.

And should i also include something like a "hand exerciser"? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KH3L7KC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Thanks to anyone taking their time to reply. Btw, I will also be using various fat grips everyday

Maybe these CrossFit grip things? Never tried them myself though.

Try talcum powder or baby powder on you hands.

Or get a chalk ball (works well in a cotton sock for wiping your hands dry).

I used to swear by wodies because I loved the wrist support. I burned through two pairs of them, and still use them from time to time. But lately, I've been trying to get away from depending on the wrist support and just strengthen my wrists as I go. This led me to just getting these from Amazon for $16. After about a year, they're still holding strong! I'll buy them again https://www.amazon.com/Leather-Barbell-Gymnastics-WOD-Nation/dp/B00Y9Y8ARI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483716257&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=gymnastics+grips&psc=1

15 bucks, work great once broken in.

Did you hear about the movie Constipation? It hasn’t come out yet.

I really need these

I ripped my hand open again trying to do chin ups and kettlebell swings... This would make my day if I had these!

10.5 oz for $11, powder form

16 oz for $13, block form

I make and sell liquid chalk, called Smart Chalk, with vitamin E. It's formulated to be 'layer forming' which makes it last considerably longer than traditional chalk.

I use gloves for kettlebells but mainly to prevent blisters and ripping of skin due to the constant rotation of the kettlebell during high-rep moves. I used to use normal lifting gloves with wrist support, but didn't like them. They keep your fingers + wrist in a rigid shape with less mobility so I would actually burn out my grip trying to hold onto my bell. I switched to minimal leather gloves which are smooth and allow the handles to glide, helping to prevent skin rips in the palms while not restricting my finger + wrist mobility. There are also gymnastics handgrips which are just like a layer of leather to cover the palms so you don't tear them up while doing high reps of pull-ups, etc. I also don't use the gloves all of the time - just when I know I'm doing high-reps of a move for a period of time (like swinging/snatches/etc. for 2 mins straight).

I got liquid hand chalk for lifting. It might be something you could use in combination with a glove. If you're having that much trouble keeping your hand dry that a towel doesn't work a glove might get too soaked after a few balls...but if you put this stuff on before you do the glove and check it after a few balls maybe...Hope you figure out something!

Train grip strength. On the days you don't deadlift, like squat and bench days, jump up and just hang on the pull up bar with one hand. Hold for as long as you can and then switch hands and repeat.

On submaximal deadlift days, hold on to the bar on the last rep of each set for a 10 count. Just hold it. Also, you said powder... I don't know what that means but use chalk or get some liquid chalk.
