Measured.
Not Felt.
We built a torque tester to verify grip improvement in hard numbers. Here is what it measures, how it measures it, and what the data shows.
Grip in FTLBS.
The torque tester measures the maximum rotational force a hand can apply to a fixed handle before the grip fails. Same hands. Same implement. Before and after Chalkless. The delta is the number we publish.
Optional
Maximum torque with a bare, unprepared hand.
Maximum torque with the same hand after applying Chalkless.
The measurable difference between the two. We publish the number, not the story around it.
Why Torque Is the
Honest Measure.
Torque means twisting force - how hard you can twist before your hand slips.
mu ("μ") is grip friction, N is how hard you squeeze the bar, and r is leverage created by the length of your arms.
Chalkless does not make people squeeze harder or suddenly grow longer arms. The increase comes from μ getting bigger, meaning the hands are less slippery and can create more rotational force before grip fails.
The Grip You Already Had.
Before and after. Same hands. Same load. Same implement. One variable changed.
Average improvement across all athletes tested. The variable that changed was oil at the interface, not technique, not strength, not equipment.
What It Does Not Show.
The torque tester measures grip, not technique, strength, or execution. A 70% improvement in friction does not mean 70% better performance. It means the friction variable is no longer working against you. What you do with that grip is the athlete's job.
