POWERPLAY Magnesia (liquid)

Purpose: Sports magnesia Powerplay (100 ml) is used in gyms, fitness clubs, as well as on skeledromes in light and weightlifting, weightlifting, pole dancing, acrobatics, powerlifting and other sports.

It is an analogue of powdered magnesia, which is characterized by increased stability.
A thin layer of magnesium, applied to the palms, prevents them from excessive sweating, ensuring dryness, and the regenerative additive in the composition prevents the skin from drying out.
This tool is available in a plastic bottle of 50 ml, with a carabiner that allows you to fix it on the belt, which provides greater convenience in use.
On average, a single dose (2-3 drops) of magnesium is enough for 1.5-2 hours of training, or for 20-30 handshakes
Sports magnesia: features of use and advantages
A fairly new form of magnesium that may work for you if liquid magnesium cannot be used due to an allergic skin reaction to alcohol or other ingredients.
This is the most economical form of magnesium.
You will need very little gel to fully cover your hands.
It dries faster than liquid magnesia and lasts longer on the hands.
Does not create clouds of dust and does not harm health.
Easy to transport, does not crumble or spill

Magnesium is a substance (powder or multicomponent solution) used in sports to improve friction and reduce sweating on the surface of the palms. Chemically, magnesia is a magnesium salt and, contrary to popular belief, it has nothing to do with chalk or talc. The "miraculous" properties of magnesium in climbing sports, weightlifting and athletics, pole dancing are explained by its high degree of hygroscopicity and ability to bind skin fat. It is for this reason that it is used: magnesium improves the grip between the hands and the surface of the sports equipment (climbing grips, barbell, pylon, etc.), allowing the athlete to hold it securely with his hands.

In sports, magnesium is used in several forms: solid (powder loose, pressed, in balls), liquid, in the form of a gel. There is no fundamental difference between them - any of the magnesia works to absorb moisture, but there are certain differences. Let's try to consider the advantages and disadvantages of liquid magnesia using the example of rock climbing.

Let's start with the last one. The main disadvantage of liquid magnesia is the impossibility of its use in the process of climbing on difficulty and on long routes. Unlike magnesium powder, which an athlete can always carry in a special bag, the liquid can be applied to the hands only before the start. Simply put, liquid magnesia is inconvenient because it is impossible, if necessary, to use it additionally during the course of the track or route.

However, the advantages of this liquid are much more than the disadvantages. First, liquid magnesia is better absorbed into the surface of the skin and does not crumble. It is very economical and, of course, lasts longer than powdered magnesium.

Secondly, liquid magnesium does not create "fog clouds" around the athlete, which is fundamentally important for work in bouldering halls where there is no good ventilation system. Under such conditions, powdered magnesium can have a harmful effect on human respiratory organs, causing allergic reactions and even silicosis. However, due to the fact that liquid magnesia does not have the property of spraying, with it such a risk is completely excluded.

Thirdly, after complete drying on the hands, which occurs within a couple of minutes, liquid magnesium stains clothes much less.

Useful recommendations.

Any magnesia (both powder, liquid, and in "balls") dries the skin very much. After the workout, be sure to wash your hands with soap and apply a moisturizing cream.
When climbing long distances and difficulty, it is convenient to combine the use of liquid and powder magnesia. Before starting, apply liquid to your hands, and during the course of the route, you can, if necessary, additionally use powdered magnesia from a bag.
Use liquid magnesia for bouldering and speed climbing. In these types of climbing, a one-time application of magnesium to your hands is often enough, and the damage to your lungs is much less.
Apply magnesia not only to the fingers, but also to the entire surface of the palm, since in the process of "fighting the vertical" you will need to use it repeatedly.

Interesting facts.

Thanks to its unique property of binding grease, magnesium can also be used to remove grease stains from clothes. Apply the powder or liquid to a cloth, leave for a few minutes, then rinse with water.
