Sports magnesia – what is it? Its application in the disciplines of “iron sports”.

So, who doesn’t know yet, sports magnesia is a special powder based on magnesium salt (also found in the form of a solution), reminiscent of loose chalk, necessary for athletes to get rid of moisture on the palms, and as a result, to increase the reliability of the grip. Magnesia absorbs liquid well, dries hands, reliably ridding the skin surface of sweat and fat secretions.

In addition to “iron sports,” magnesium is used in various sports disciplines. For example, in athletics, gymnastics, rock climbing and other sports where a strong, reliable grip is important. For example, in the high vault, shot throw, discus throw, hammer throw...

The importance of this sports accessory in iron sports disciplines is difficult to underestimate! A weightlifter, powerlifter and bodybuilder, like no one else, needs a strong grip on the apparatus, because his health, and perhaps even his life, directly depends on this. It’s hard to count how many serious injuries athletes have received throughout the history of “iron sports” as a result of neglecting their own safety and not using magnesium! The most common of them:

1. Lifters and bodybuilders were overwhelmed by the barbell on the bench press.
2. Weightlifters have suffered serious injuries due to the weight slipping or being torn out of the palm during a jerk or push.
3. All kinds of falls of bodybuilders and work-out athletes from the crossbar, during pull-ups, inversion lifts, leg raises and other exercises.
4. And other types of injury.

To protect yourself, we strongly recommend that you always use sports magnesium in your training. It's like a weightlifting belt - without it, don't even go on the platform with a serious weight of the barbell.

If you don’t have sports magnesium on hand, you can use regular chalk. Of course, it is many times worse in its characteristics, but in any case, it is better than nothing at all. If you don’t have chalk at hand, wipe your palms with a dry towel or some kind of rag, and also try to degrease your hands with at least something: plaster or lime, dust or dry sand and other available means will do...
