"Fat Gripz will give you the benefits of thick-bar training – at a fraction of the price."
They instantly turn bars into thick bars. That’s why everyone from professional footballers to mixed-martial arts fighters is using them.
Most Olympic bars are just over 1” thick. Slide on your Fat Gripz and all your bars will be more than twice as thick – not just your barbell, but your dumbbells, pull-up bar and cable attachments too.
There’s no need for extra exercises – no forearm extensions, wrist rollers or grippers. Fat Gripz work with your existing exercise routine to develop functional hand and forearm strength.
Unlike products that you squeeze to get a stronger grip, thick-bar training with Fat Gripz improves your grip when it’s at its weakest – when lifting heavy weights. That way, every time you press, row, curl with Fat Gripz, you’re improving your grip – your weak link – which in turn trains your chest, back and arms more effectively.
- The military-grade hardened compound in Fat Gripz doesn’t compress when you hold them. It doesn’t matter if you’re curling 60 lb or deadlifting 500 lb. Fat Gripz won’t compress – so you’re always getting effective thick bar training.
- They have a vice-like grip on the bar. There’s no movement, there’s no give, there’s no slippage – so you don’t need to worry about the towel slipping and dropping the weight. You can just focus on lifting the weight.
- Fat Gripz are quick to put on and take off your bars. There’s no hassle and nothing to tape in place. Just stick them on the bar and lift.
(The only thing Fat Gripz won’t do is wipe your sweat off afterwards.)
The science behind training with Fat Gripz
The proof below explains exactly why thick-bar training with Fat Gripz is more effective. When you use Fat Gripz in your normal workout, you’re improving the effectiveness of the exercise in three ways.
1. You’ll spread the weight more evenly across your body
- When you first use Fat Gripz, you may notice that there’s less pressure on joints like your wrists, elbows and shoulders.
- By using a wider grip on the bar, you’re actually spreading the weight more evenly across your joints.
2. You’ll increase muscle activation
- When you use Fat Gripz, you engage your hands and forearms more than with a regular bar.
- Charles Sherrington, neurophysiologist and Nobel laureate, states that the harder a muscle works, the more its neighboring muscles are activated – amplifying their strength.
- So that means by working your hands and forearms harder, you’re increasing the muscle activation – and strengthening your upper arms, shoulders, chest and back.
- That’s not all. Just holding the Fat Gripz on the bar is a completely difference experience to holding a regular bar. Your hands, forearms and upper arms are forced to work harder, helping to increase their strength and size.
3. You’ll eliminate imbalances
- Every exercise you do with Fat Gripz will help to strengthen your grip, hands and forearms. And by eliminating these weak links, you’re unlocking bigger strength and muscle increases in your whole body.
- Because our bodies are programmed to stay in proportion, the brain actually stops your arms, chest, shoulders and back developing – until your hands and forearms catch up. You can keep on training regardless – but you’ll hit a plateau.
- Regular barbells and dumbbells don’t help – in fact, they actually make it worse. They’re designed to be easy on the hands and forearms, meaning that the more you workout, the more they’re falling behind.
- But when you train with Fat Gripz, you’ll start to eliminate imbalances – from the very first workout. The first time, you’ll notice an intense burning in your forearms – hotter than anything you’ll have felt with grippers, wrist rollers or forearm curl and extensions.

- Awesome Review by Dave - Auckland

Most people have at least heard of the benefit of fat gripped bars when lifting and I had previously been wrapping a towel around bar, which worked reasonably well.Rating
But these are so much better, I had actually tried to get some of these when they first came out but no one in NZ had them.
They activate your muscles so much more, especially in your fore-arms, but everything activates more.
You will find you are actually able to lift only a lower weight, due to the extra activation, but thats great news, especially if you lifts start getting quite high, where you have more chance of injury.

I ordered these but had nooo idea how effective they'd be. They make you feel like a FOOL in the gym because when you use them it takes so much out of your grip/forearm strength that you can't lift as much as you normally do. The beautiful thing is, when you go back to lifting a weight with a normal sized bar again, its a lot easier!Rating
Great product. Buy a set of these they're fully worth it! (Posted on 3/02/12)
