Gunsmith Fitness Grenadier Grips - Unique Fat Bar Dumbell/Barbell Grips For Huge Size Gains, Explosive Power, Increased Grip Strength, Arm Muscle Builder, Crossfit, Improve Climbing and Grappling

I was a serious grip trainer from 2001 to 2010. After a serious accident, I've decided to take it back up for the sake of keeping fit and adding to girth to my now skinny forearms. I bought these with the intention of adding thickness and challenge to my regular spinlock dumbbells. I've hardly ever used a standard 1 inch bar. Instead I've worked with 2 inch thick bar (barbell) and a custom made 3" olympic dumbbell made of of thick rubber.These Grenadier grips would resemble the Baseball grip style which I use (baseball, hook, chain> kettlebell). Though I did fear that these would be small, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they are almost identical in size to a baseball (see pic). Using them on my standard 1" dumbell gives a moderate challenge and a different feat for the fingers in contrast to 2" or 3" thickbar. Certainly not as challenging as the 3" inch, but it's something different for variation as the finger wrap around the globe. My concern was that these don't hold securely on a standard 1". There's a gap which causes them to be loose. To counter this, I put a big clump of BluTak between the grips and the bar which has held it secure. I imagine they would be a perfect fir for Olympic bars which are slightly wider than 1".The sheer weight of the rubber is impressive and coupled with the fancy storage bag, these represent fantastic bang for buck. They could sell easily for £30 at this quality. The 'pineapple' grenade texture looks great and really captures the theme, however I do feel like there is too much grip assistance in this surface which detracts from the grip effort that need to put in. It would be a detriment to the theme somewhat, but I feel these should be a lot smoother to increase the challenge. Perhaps that's something to consider to an alternative model?Overall, I'm really pleased. For the price you really can't go wrong with these. I'm sitting here with a spare second one too, since I'm only using one on a dumbell. You could go halves with a friend - one each and it would be even more cost effective!

In my quest to build on my gripping strength I came across these & after doing some research decided to buy (great price too!) I use Fat Gripz in my training & now have these, which really do work the hand & fingers due to its shape. I can imagine my grip strength will increase vastly over the next six plus months. Word of caution though to anyone thinking of buying these for bicep growth - these are more suitable for training your hands/forearms & if you go heavy you may tear your biceps from unnecessary loading to fast. If you wanna hit your biceps safer use Fat Gripz. 10/10 product at great price & really effective at making your hands work harder! Come in a little camo pouch which is quite handy for keeping them clean & together in your gym bag.

I purchased these grips both to improve strength and musculature of the hands and forearms, both to reduce discomfort in the shoulders, elbows and wrists in some exercises. From the first training sessions, I have seen that ectually work for this purpose. In pull ups for example, I noticed that it reduces discomfort to the shoulders and wrists. Even in the biceps curls, wrists assume a more comfortable position, and at the same time hands and forearms are most stressed. Of course, in many exercises in which you want to use the grenadier grips, you have to lower the weight, in order not to lose his grip. Recommended in all exercises for biceps and triceps and pill ups, I found useful even in these grips overhead shoulder press with barbell (recommend to calculate well the weight) and low cable rows.It uses however, can be very many, giving some novelty to your routine.The rubber material of which they are made is very good: it has the right consistency, does not smell, and being shaped grenade, does not slip.Beautiful also the storage bag to carry grips comfortably.I'm really satisfied.

I have been using these when doing my regular back and biceps sessions and have found a lot of extra strength and size in my forearms after using these for these last few weeks, particularly good to use on a preacher curl bench or at the end of my session when I go light and use them with dumbells with concentration curls.They might feel awkward at first but persevere and go lighter and you will feel those forearms fill out.

Only seemed to fit the 1" standard bar well. They definately work the forearms more and i would say actually protect the elbows abit aswell. Do tend to move easily after putting the bar down so you do have to re-adjust the position. They feel good, worth the money i would say.

These work as you might expect open your grip on dumbbells, bars, cable attachments and pull-up rigs. However, I wasn't expecting it to make pull ups as difficult so they must help (?). Nice alternative to using the normal fat grips that has helped with heavier training whilst also having golfer's elbow.

Probably one of my best buys on Amazon, comes in handy durable pouch. The grips are very solid and due to the design enable a better grip - works well on dumbbell and bar bells. Note I would not recommend using them with heavy weights eg dumbbell over 10KG as bar inside may slip slightly due to weights. - very good product - well made.

I find this product excellent to use on deadlifts and bicep curls. The extra work your muscles will do will make everything seem 50% heavier but with lighter weights. Word of caution you can get wrist and forearm pain if you don't tilt your wrist slightly when doing bicep curls.
