Grip and forearm strength is an important but often neglected aspect of strength training. One way to improve your grip strength is to do fat grip training.What is fat grip training, and how does it work? Fat grip training is when a lifter uses weights with thick handles or attaches thick grips to a barbell, dumbbells, or pull-up bars to increase the weight’s diameter. The increased diameter makes the weights harder to hold onto, allowing you to work on your grip strength and increase muscle mass in your forearms.
The top five benefits of fat grip training are: Improved grip and forearm strength, Improved hypertrophy in your forearms, Training variety, Breaking through strength plateaus, Improved muscular endurance.
Fat Gripz was one of the first fat grip devices to hit the market. They’re still one of the most popular products available today due to their durability and high quality.
Instead of silicone, Fat Gripz are made out of military-grade rubber and designed to last forever. They have a grooved exterior for better gripability, but they can get a bit slippery if your hands are really sweaty. They’re more expensive than other brands, but since you likely won’t have to replace them often (if at all), the price is worth it.
We understand hand size and grip strength varies greatly from one person to the next. So it's important to start with correct size. As your strength increases, you will graduate to using a larger diameter. The Fat Gripz Pro is best size for most goals and hand sizes. That being said, if you have smaller hands or weak grip strength you may want to consider the Fat Gripz One.
