Extreme (2.75 Inch Outer Diameter)

Fantastic product, genius idea whoever came up with it, seems sturdy enough to last a lifetime, but if I only get 5-10 years out of it will absolutely come back and buy another set one day. I bought all 3 sizes and I use all 3 sizes in my workouts now, on various pieces of equipment / bars.

I've had this product for right at 6 Months now and I regret not putting a review up sooner. This product is the Fat Gripz Extremes at 2.75" Diameter, a few days ago I put in an order for the other 2 Sizes (1.75" Ones, and the 2.25" Original Fat Gripz) that they offer so that I can incorporate more weight in my workouts. For starters, upon purchasing a product from Fat Gripz you will receive an e-mail that runs you through the basics of how to use the product - BEFORE YOU RECEIVE IT. I highly recommend giving that a read through as when you receive your package, you will want to try it as soon as you get it out. I am a Competitive Powerlifter and a big advocate of Grip Strength and Training. I have used the Fat Gripz Extremes solely for strength and I have been impressed with them. The reason that i'm purchasing the smaller 2 sizes is so that when a competition nears I can scale down the grip size (Fat Gripz) until the competition where i'm obviously using the standard Olympic Bar - this allows the advantage of using progressively more weight while still maintaining the added benefit of muscle activation that Fat Gripz provides. Grip Strength is paramount to lifting heavy weights; if you can't hold it, you can't lift it - simple as that. This will increase your gains and in turn, your competitive advantage. For those who do MMA, Grappling, Wrestling, Rock Climbing, you could also benefit from this as your hold(s) will be greater and harder to break from. Durability is top notch, the material is a rubberized grip which gives you a great surface to grip onto (even when sweaty) as well giving the bar on the inside a strong mating surface, most of the time you'll have even more through knurling. These things aren't going to spin on you while you're doing a lift! One thing that I never really thought about until I purchased the smaller 2 sizes was the ability to use them on Ropes, Pull-up Bars, etc., since it's just a slit that you open up and place around the desired equipment. Needless to say, I more or less missed out on even more gains but no longer! Try 'em out, you'll thank Fat Gripz later!

Solid product it definitely goes a long way I’ve been using the Fat Gripz pro for a while decided it’s time to step it up. Very simple product so it’s quick to slap onto pull up bars etc. so I get a lot outta em. You may wanna work your way up since these are pretty big but if you know you can handle the Extreme version right off the bat go for it. They’ll get you a good soreness if used how they should be used. I personally use them for deadlifts, curls, pull ups, and dips. I’m personally sitting on a grip strength of 368lbs these will help with that.

It works as advertised. It makes every grip focused exercise hell, and you'll definitely need to drop weight to use it. But the pump was great, I really liked it.

The wider grip gives me a whole new sensation in working out. It’s targets the muscles function in less time then a normal grip. The different sizes train for different movements or different functionalities. If you really want to gain and target the muscle fast the black and blue grip will do you well. The orange is more of a challenge if you want to go there but technically the black or blue one will do the trick. It’s a bit on the expensive size but I get why. They work for my hands and feel great when I use them in my workout. I believe they aren’t for everyone to use all three but if you know yourself well the black or blue one is for you.

Grips may take a while to get use to edpecially if you have smaller hands. During a workout you can definately feel the additional tension with your forearms especially when using wigher weight. I have noticed a definate difference in gains with using db's. Smaller hands might want to consider the smaller blue grips when starting out. Very well made and substantial.

Works as described. But will not work on dumbbells that have a thin handle on the ends with a thick handle in the center. Basically like the dumbbells you find at Walmart.

Both these and the 2" blue Fat Gripz are well made and sturdy. I being these to the gym and change them across all manner of bars with no wear and tear noted. I have bought these as gifts to three other people, each have had the same good experience. I'd had the blue 2" Fat Gripz for about six months, and had incorporated those into most pulling exercises that I do with a pull-up bar, barbell, or dumbbell. For scale, my hands measure 8 3/8" from wrist to finger tip, and my forearms are small relative to my upper arm and shoulders, and my grip has always limited my pulling exercises. The 2" Fat Gripz required about 6 weeks for me to get back the roughly 10% reduction I weight I had to make to let my grip not become the weakest link. As I progressed, my grip was still the weakest link relative to my other muscle groups. Added the 3" Gripz in slowly, initially for curls, reverse curls, and shoulder flies to avoid injury to tendons, and then have worked in bigger weight for rows. After two months of use, I still cannot use the same weight for exercises that I would use with the 2 inch Fat Gripz, but my grip-particularly my thumb- is no longer as limiting as they used to be when using the 2" grip. The biggest difference I've noticed is in functional strength doing manual labor-pulling on fence or tree branches that are thicker. Side benefit-bench press with the 3" grips is comfy on my wrist, and you have to get your hands a whole inch lower to get the bar to your chest. If your hand is bigger than mine, you could possibly start out with these, otherwise I'd highly recommend putting months of work in with the 2" Gripz first. Fat Gripz-if you made half sizes, especially 2.5", I'd buy those too.

Super durable rubber that has significant heft. You can feel an immediate difference using these on any exercise that has some elbow flexors, forearm or hand engagement. All of which are noticeably sore after using the fat gripz. I’ll be sure to update my review in a few months time.

En üst modeli, almadan önce bilmelisiniz oldukça sağlam bir ürün parasının her kuruşunu hak ediyor, kol ve bilek gelişimini üst düzeyde artıyor ağrılar çok yüksek oluyor, kol ve bilek kasları gelişimi farklı bir boyuta geçti adeta tavsiye ediyorum

Sin duda el trabajo con fat gripz es indispensable para aquellos que tenemos un agarre débil o queremos mejorar marcas e innovar en el entrenamiento de una manera simple y sencilla. Yo empecé utilizando los azules y hace poco decidí dar una oportunidad a estos naranjas de diámetro más grande y sinceramente estoy encantado he mejorado drásticamente mis marcas en la mayoría de ejercicios como consecuencia de la mejora de mi agarre. Principalmente los recomiendo para ejercicios como: -Paseos del granjero -Cualquier tipo de tracción, horizontal o vertical -Ejercicios auxiliares de brazo El precio puede parecer un poco alto pero sinceramente la calidad del producto está más que pagado.

Very sturdy build quality Expands even bigger to around a 3 inch diameter when on a dumbbell Great for training grip strength Humbling experience at first

Molto grandi, adatti a vari tipi di allenamento per rinforzo di mano e avambraccio, non consiglierei l'utilizzo a chi ha mani piccole. Il grip è rimasto ottimo anche dopo mesi di utilizzo.
