Fat Gripz |

Hey Everybody!

Today I am writing about an awesome addition to your gym bag. I never go to the gym without them! They are the Fat Gripz!

I have long fingers so I find that every time I am lifting my nails are digging into my palms. It is super uncomfortable but with my Fat Gripz it doesn’t happen anymore. I also have noticed that it helps me to pay closer attention to keeping my wrists straight while lifting. This helps me to not injure my elbow further (I have golfers’ elbow). FatGripz.com states “Many people use thick bar training because of how fast it adds muscle to their body compared to standard bar but many lifters report that thick bar training has actually helped (and presumably therefore, reduced the chance of) all types of injuries including wrist, elbow and shoulders issues. It seems that thick bars shift the stress off the joints and onto the muscles which is, of course, exactly what we want.”

I absolutely love how versatile they are. You can put them on almost anything at the gym. My husband and I use them on dumbbells, barbells, cables, and some cable grips. You can even use them on pull up bars.

They have different widths of grips depending on what you are looking for. I use the Fat Gripz One which are 1.75 inches in diameter and are made for functional training. They have a 2.25 and a 2.75-inch option as well. They also have a lifetime warranty on them so you don’t have to worry about having to buy another set unless you want a different width.

Using a fatter grip also helps you to increase muscle activation. FatGripz.com states “Fat Gripz / thick bars develop levels of muscle and strength that cannot be duplicated with standard equipment. It is not uncommon for even an experienced lifter to make significant muscle gains in just a few months by switching to thick bars.”
