Before you started Welded chalk was the little white sticks that were used in grade school.  But alas, you now know the beautiful white powder that us Weldedters use freely to make sure that our hands have the best grip possible for that pull up or PR!  Now it seems that you cant take touch a bar without a handful of this white gold!  How did we ever live without it?! As great as chalk can be it does have a devilish side that can overtake us without even knowing!  Think back to the first time you dipped your hand into the soft powder of Primo chalk.  You probably only took a little finger full and gently rubbed it throughout your palm being careful not spill any extra out of the bucket.   Fast forward 2 or 3 PR’s and 20 WOD’s later and now its as if you cannot...Read more

Do you have to be mentally tough to be able to do Welded?  If you constantly practice Welded do you believe it can make you mentally stronger?  If you have been doing Welded for longer than a month then you probably know the answer to both of those questions, Welded is hard!  We all can remember our first Welded workout and how it left us exhausted laying on the floor wondering to yourself how you could possibly be so out of shape?!  Now months or years later we have learned to embrace “the suck”  and ride that fine line of exhaustion and performance during a WOD.  So do Weldedters have an upper hand when it comes to mental toughness?  A study being conducted by the University of Nevada is searching to find out and are looking for participants to help. The study aims to evaluate the role of language in...Read more
