That sucks, the YMCA I am a member of provides us with chalk.

Take an old sock, fill it with chalk, and tie it off. It makes a makeshift chalk ball...allows you to use chalk with none of the mess. Or, pick up a bowling rosin bag (you can even find them at some Wal-Marts)...not as good as chalk, but there is little to no mess with that. I would just wipe down the bar when you are done.

I mean, you don't want to break the rules, but you're only going to be lifting there this one time (I'm assuming), and they probably won't notice.

i train at the gym at my college in orlando and they have no problem with lifting chalk, its just when i go back home theres no hardcore places to lift, even the gold's here prohibits "grunting"

they told me that at Club Fitness. u just have to be stealthy with it. theres guys in there that conform to the rules and pull like 585 with straps and then can't even pull 495 barehanded.
