"Fat Gripz"

  • Exercise or Problem requiring equipment: Fat Gripz can be used to make any grip related exercise more demanding, they can also make bar pushing movements easier on the hand.

  • Pros: These unlock a wide variety different ways to train grip strength by turning almost any bar into a Fat Bar used in Strongman, they are also advertised as helping Bicep development but I'm no expert on the science. They also provide a large surface area for bar pressing movements which can make it a lot easier on heavier people or those with larger hands (more on this in Purposes/Uses).

  • Cons: Cost, these are probably an unnecessary expense for most people.

  • Qualities to look for when purchasing: These are brand name so this isn't applicable.

  • Alternatives: The only alternatives I'm aware of are Thick Strongman Style Bars, which are pretty damn expensive. EDIT: Grip Rippers & Grenadier Grips. Fat Gripz EXTREME.

  • Purposes/Uses: The main exercise I use these for are Fat Grip Deadlifts and Parallel Bar Triceps Dips. I'll focus on the Dips for obvious reasons. As a 108kg person with proportionally large hands I often find the bar on the dipping stations in most gyms put a lot of pressure on my palms, sometimes to the detriment of my dips. Now I know the obvious solution here is to Git Gud, but I've found that by using Fat Gripz for dipping I have managed to completely alleviated this discomfort and moved fairly swiftly from 5x5 +20kg to 5x5 +45kg. It only ensures that no matter where I'm dipping, I have the option to have the bar feel exactly as I'm used to. EDIT: These are also brilliant for Reverse Curls to develop the forearm!

  • Places to acquire equipment/materials: Amazon

  • Cost: £30

    Does anyone have any other experiences with these?

Honestly, the olympic rings can do almost everything that those other things can do so I would easily put that at the top of the list. A freestanding pullup bar / dip station is really good but not quite as complete as rings. If you want to save money i would get a doorway pullup bar and some cheap parallettes so you can do deeper pushups, deeper hspus etc. I don't really like weighted vests because they tend to be really expensive and the weight doesnt go up very high. A dip belt and a few plates tend to be a much better investment for the money. The dip belt can be used for weighted pullups and dips on the rings. Here would be my order:

  1. Rings

  2. Dip Belt + weight plates

  3. Pullup bar / dip station

  4. Parallettes

    If you want to really work on grip fat gripz have been amazing. Throw these on a pullup bar and your grip strength will fly through the roof.
