Anyone ever use fat gripz? If they are quality and stay locked in place well, looks like a could be a very cost effective training tool

i have been wanting to try them before i spend the dough on a fat bar so im interested to hear from people who have used them as well. good topic.

Ive had my eye on those as well, seems like a very versatile tool.

It sure seems like they would slide around and feel weird.

My buddy swears by em....I just tell him, quit tryin to trick your muscles into growing, concentrate on just fucking liftin the damned weights...now hes got an elbow problem and hes blamin the fat gripz...live and learn.

I bought a pair. I was thinking it would help my wrists out in presses and distribute the load better on my hands for dips.

I've had a pair for a couple of years, and I like them. They give my forearms a hell of a workout.

It's not really trickery to use fat gripz anymore than it is trickery to use a fat bar, straps or even lifting as part of a routine. If he's blaming the grips for his elbow issue he's a moron.

IMO they are a pretty good substitution for thick bars at a fraction of the cost it would take to make said bars.

I use them every couple weeks and they are great. They will do wonders for your forearms. Got Halo hooked on them too. I would say spend the money. Look for a decent sale at elite with free shipping. Really good for DB curls, OHP and bench.

Yup what JB said, got em use em on a variety of things from bench to curls to overhead presses with bar or DB's. They blow up your forearms. The only sketchy part of them is if you are boosting big DB's overhead you have to pay close attention to how you grab them and boost them. Love em.
