Product Information

When it comes to strength, you are only as strong as your weakest link and most strength athletes know that fact all too well. It would be interesting to see whether using the grips on a barbell deadlift would lead to bigger gains in the same lift without the grips.

Once attached, Fat Gripz hold to the bar firmly like a clamp, and won't compress – even you're deadlifting extreme loads.Not surprisingly, Fat Gripz are now used by many special forces military and law enforcement officers. Anyone who watches late night television or reads bodybuilding, fitness, or health related magazines knows there is a lot of gimmicky crap out there. I am lucky because my wife puts up with my passion for working out and has allowed me to build a pretty sophisticated gym in the garage.

The problem with my homemade fatbar dumbbell handles is once you convert the bar you won't be able to quickly change it back. The tempo of my training session meant my eccentric portion was 4secs so this put even more pressure on the grip. Secondly, it makes everything more difficult and relies heavily on a strong grip, something I’m constantly trying to improve. Place the Fat Gripz onto any barbell or dumbbell by opening up the side slit and placing it around the bar or handle.I recommend using a thick bar or thick handled cable attachment (approx two to two and a half inches diameter) for both wrist curls and extensions because it reduces the degree of finger flexion required to grip the bar. It is also a continuous learning process, but the basics still beat the hell out of everything else. Whether you are an avid lifter looking to build arm muscle quickly, or a pro strength athlete looking to increase grip strength, the Fat Gripz have an option that allows you to optimize thick bar training to reach your unique goals. When not eating tacos or staring at a screen, Cooper can be found with his Wife Mollie, son Ezra, and dog ‘famous’ Amos. If you wear Newgrips weight lifting gloves while gripping fatgripz, you increase the diameter by another 1/4".

While a thicker bar or handle is more challenging to grip when pulling it is not much harder to hold when performing wrist curls and extensions with the forearms angled up slightly since the fingers or thumbs are working directly against gravity or the pull of the cable over most of the range of motion. They work on the basis of strength training of old when guys lifted fatter bars meaning more focus on grip and concentration on the muscles being used. We're super excited for this years UK Grip League to get started, we've selected 4 staple events for the qualifiers testing each area of your strength. First off, anytime I do anything with dumbbells, whether it’s a dumbbell snatch or a curl, I throw the Fat Gripz on.I’m glad I did because they turned out to be a great tool with a variety of uses and after using them on several exercises over the past two weeks I’m impressed. Through the years I have learned that working out is a period of adjusting to your body, ailments, age and your physical limitations.

They need a little breaking in when you first get them and are kind of hard to get around a barbell/dumbbell, but once broken in they are easier to get on. When I was younger I did go to a gym that had the fat bars and dumbbells but because of the discomfort and ego because your lifts do go down I did not use them.Very high quality, totally solid on the bar even for heavy benching, and will probably last forever (you've got to hold a pair to see how solid they are).
