Glossary

Training volume

How much work you do. More volume usually means more sweat and more chalk, not a different product.

A heavy single and a 20-minute metcon empty a chalk bottle at different rates. Volume is sets, reps, and time. Sweat follows the work. Plan the bottle from how often you actually reapply, which is what the calculator asks you to type in.

High volume is also when skin tears. File calluses and wash chalk off at the end of long weeks. The bottle is not the recovery plan.

Gymreapers Lifting wrist straps

Padded neoprene with 18 inch cotton straps.

Wrist straps for deadlifts and pulls. They tie the bar to the wrist when the grip is the limit. They are not chalk, and they are not legal lifting equipment on an IPF platform.

Use them in training if your gym allows straps. Take them off when you are practicing the grip you will use in a meet.
