why your legs are full of chalk son
Baby powder*
The DL bars at competitions bars are so rough, sometimes it can slow down the movement up your legs. Baby powder helps stop that. The knurling is basically like a cheese grader, that's why knee-high socks are mandatory because people used to bleed on the bars. nn random guys blood.
If the smooth part of the bar touches your skin, it will also stop/slow the movement of the bar going up.
