heyy! i'm a gymnast but i have this problem on bars, it seems that everytime i'm going to do my routine (kip, switch kip, birdie, straddleback, kip, birdie, kip, cast handstand, giant, giant, layout flyaway) my chalk comes off and the bar becomes very slippery after my straddleback. i've slipped off the bar on my giants before becasue of this.. i just a lot of chalk & water.. does anyone have any suggestions as to how to chalk my grips so it doesn't feel slippery? oh and does anyone know where to buy that butt glue stuff? the stuff that makes your leo stick so you don't get wedgies? haha thanks!

You should but chalk on the bar as well as your grips, but It works better if you just put a little bit of water on your grips so that the chalk sticks. If you use a lot of water then you'll slip easier and you don't want to lose your grip doing giants or straddlebacks. You can buy what your looking for at most Big Fives or usually leotard and dance stores.
