Alpha Grips 3.0 - Extreme Arm Blaster - Best Dumbbell and Barbell Thick Bar Adapter

I am an avid grip trainer and these are very easily one of my new favorite tools to use during the week. These things are absolute beasts and attacks the entire hand when you use them. very durable and heavy duty too. This pair is going to last a lifetime of gripping! Very satisfied and would recommend to anyone looking to improve their forearm strength

This is a great product for working forearms. It is a bear to get on the barbell at first, but when it becomes easier, I can assure you that your forearms/grip strength is increasing. I use these for reverse curl bar curls, wrist curls, and simply holding a loaded barbell for forearm strength and development. It’s taken about a month to get better accustomed with it which I feel is quite appropriate!

I use these for bodyweight pull-ups. And now I have started adding weight. It may be frustrating at first, but your body will adapt. I thank these for keeping my elbow tendonitis under control. I don't have much pain. I give it 4 stars only because it can be very stiff to pry it open. But eventually it will loosen.

The product I purchased is well built and quality, I bought the 3.0, the HUGE ones. I have large hands and strong forearms already but these were still far to big and difficult. I thought it would mean that once attached to the bar the size would equal 3 inches. No. its more like 4. Doing only 50lbs with bent over rows, or chainsaws whatever you wish to call them, my grip was slipping within 8 reps. i can only see someone like Brian Shaw who is a 6'9" strongman purchasing these. Go with the 2.0 or maybe 2.5 unless you are legitimately HUGE and have MASSIVE hands. Trust me theyre extremely difficult.

These grips are great for a forearm pump and working on grip strength. I would recommend starting with the smaller version if you've never used alpha grips or fat gripz before but I disagree with all the reviewers that say these are only for people with giant hands. That's not the case. Having such big grips make you really focus on your grip and form even with low weight Dumbbells. I love using these now to change up my routine on arm day. Also the quality is fantastic, they really feel well made and durable. I know they'll last a long time.

I upgraded to these from the blue fat gripz. I’m 5’10 175lbs and normally do 20+ pull ups. The fat gripz brought me down to about 15 reps and these bad boys took that down to about 10. They’re pretty difficult to pull apart to get them on the bar but I like that because they don’t roll nearly as much as the fat gripz. Immediately noticed the forearm pump after a set. I can’t wait to try them out on some farmers carries. For anyone getting into grip training, I also highly recommend the captains of crush grippers. Get a trainer, and/or a .5 to start. They’re the real deal and it’s going to sound funny but my girl loves the effect grip training has had on my massages.

I HIGHLY recommend using this. I've been working out for 15 plus years and did many grip exercises. If you can't find a thick handle bar for weight lifting or if you do calisthenics and its hard to find a thick bar to improve your grip, this will certainly do the job. As of right now I do mostly calisthenics and I wanted to use a product that can help be improve my forearm strength. I've used towel pull ups which are fantastic but the towels are usually too bulky for me to carry around all day and sometimes don't hold up. These grips are fantastic. They're not too light but they aren't a pain to carry around. I've been using this for calisthenics (mainly pull ups and chin ups (different grips)) and my grip strength and forearm size are showing. I've also used this for weight lifting and I recommend it more for weight lifting. I would say do half the size of the weight your normally lift when you use this product though because you WILL feel the difference in how much your hand has to work. I did some shrugs with 100lb dumbbells, then tried doing it with the grips, NOT HAPPENING. I had to go down to 40-45lbs. If you're a big, tall and strong guy, with big hands, this might not be super effective for you but I am certain you will feel something. For guys who are below, average or a little above average stature then this will do wonders for you and will add a whole new dimension of training. JUST BUY THESE DAMN GRIPS.
