If your gym doesn't have a chalk bowl or at least allow you to use chalk you are at the wrong gym! There are two things I do before a big lift as you have seen...1. Chalk up 2. Put my getnewage mouthpiece in. Once these are done it's time to destroy the weights. These two things are like my switch and how I get myself into GIGANTOR mode!
