Rubber Multi Grip Straps/Hooks, Premium Heavy Duty Weight Lifting Straps/Gloves - Gym Strap for Deadlifts, Rows & Weight Training, Wrist Support for Men & Women

EDIT 4 month update - I’ve been using these for about four months now and at first I didn’t use them much and I couldn’t say they were having a big impact on my workouts until I used them with pull downs and split squats. The difference these grips make is literally an extra 3-4 reps, once you don’t have to think about holding onto the weight it really opens up the mind muscle connection and you can focus on making your muscles work.I’ve seen some other reviews talking about poor quality and sizing/strap too short, the pair I’ve received aren’t the leather ones and they’ve held up perfectly. If your finding the strap too short chances are you’re using them wrong. The strap doesn’t need to fold all the way round the bar and it doesn’t even need to be tight. I think the way they work is imagine an alternative grip you (shouldn’t) use for a dead lift, one hand stops the bar from rotating forward one hand stops it from rotating back, I believe the grips achieve this affect but in one hand.-The reason I bought these is because I’d seen Dr Mike Israetel recommend Versagrips. They cost about £70 in the UK... Bear Grips do not.The point of this accessory is to stop grip being a limiting factor in exercise where you’re pulling or holding a decent amount of weight.If you think “ha just train your grip strength!”Well is your grip ever going to be stronger than your lats or entire back? Or your hamstrings and glutes?No it’s not. And you will likely find that your grip fatigues before your primary moving muscles do. So why lose potential gains because your grip has fatigued.I’ve used them for a few exercises so far. Hanging leg raises, pull ups and stiff leg deadlifts. I don’t use them all the time only when my grip does become the limiting factor. I’ll start with chalk then move to the Bear Grips of I need to.It’s very surprising how once you don’t have to worry about your grip you can really focus on the primary moving muscles and focus on that mind muscle connection. I especially found this doing back exercises.The grips are fairly comfortable but I’m sure as they’re broken in they’ll become more comfortable.The fastenings feel very secure and they’re much easier than traditional wraps to apply to a barbell.The only situation I wouldn’t use these is if you deadlift and your goal is to get stronger and stronger. That’s a situation where you need to have a raw grip. Use chalk and use a hook grip. No ones impressed by a 500lb deadlift with grips or wraps and it doesn’t count...But if you’re goal is purely hypertrophy then use the grips but you probably shouldn’t be conventional deadlifting in the 1st place.Altogether very pleased with the Bear Grips and I’m sure they’ll be part of my array of gym accessories for a while to come.

After trying the Bear Grip workout gloves, I found these straps/hooks suited me much better. I have very small hands and wrists, and these make it much easier to maintain a secure grip when lifting heavier weights without my hands fatiguing as quickly.They feel sturdy, well made, and provide good support during exercises such as deadlifts and rows. The hooks are easy to use and help me focus more on the movement itself rather than worrying about my grip strength.Everyone's preferences will be different, but for me these were a much better fit than traditional lifting gloves. They've made my workouts more comfortable and enjoyable, and I'm very pleased with them.

I’ve been using these regularly for over 2 years now for heavy pulling exercises (weighted pull-ups, barbell shrugs, all kinds of rows).The rubber grip is excellent. They are grippy enough to feel very secure and to give me confidence on the heavier pulls, taking my forearms almost completely out of the equation for better focus on the lats/traps etc. It took maybe 3 or 4 workouts for my hands to get used to the rubber, but once they did these have been consistently comfortable and reliable. The length is enough to wrap around any standard 20kg barbell or dumbbell that I’ve come across. It’s just about enough for the bulkiest machine handles too. As shown in the pictures, the rubber has shown no sign of degradation.Importantly, it is easy to wrap these straps around the barbell/dumbbell one-handed. There isn’t a steep learning curve with these - just use your thumb to guide the rubber strap around, then grab it with your fingers and pull it in to tighten the grip.The foam padding around the wrists is comfortable enough to not be a distraction while using them, provided you’re not wearing them for hours. I have super sensitive skin that will react to pretty much anything but I’ve found that they are absolutely fine with these.The velcro strap was sturdy for a long time, though I’ve found that it has started to fray (as shown in the picture) meaning they are starting to come undone on the super heavy lifts, which is why I’m replacing these. For less than £25 it’s still a solid deal in terms of longevity, and of course less than half the price of the other influencer-peddled brands. I am replacing them with the exact same ones - while in an ideal world they would have lasted a bit longer, I still think that 2 years of heavy use is a reasonable length of time for the price.I would definitely recommend these over the far more expensive brands. They do their job brilliantly and feel like a sturdy high-quality product.

Having tried just about every type of gym strap available, from wraps to hooks, I was left speechless by this offering from Bear Grip.I saw the recommendation by Dr Mike on his Renaissance Periodization videos for this style of grip but the ones he named are over £60. I saw these Bear Grips for under £20 and they look identical. I read the reviews and they were stellar so I took a punt. I am so glad I did.They arrived quickly and in brand new condition. I tried them today and I can honestly say that all the other grips I have are going in a storage bag in the garage as I won’t ever be using them again.Simply put, these are perfect. They take all the effort of gripping heavy weights out of the equation and leave you to focus on the core muscles you are targeting. So today I shrugged 36kg dumbbells with ease. I could have held them for an hour as my grip just didn’t give up. I was left to make a mind connection with my traps and I have never hit them like this before. Amazing.Yes, it probably means I am taking out some of the grip training from my forearms but this should easily be compensated for by the rise in the weights I can handle. I moved rapidly through the dumbbell rack and ended on the 44kg and I still could have gone higher.The straps are very accommodating for a wide range of wrist thickness so pretty much one size fits all. On the inside are two foam cushioning pads that mean despite the heavy weight, the straps do not dig into the skin on the wrists - making them super comfy.There is no faffing about like with regular straps when it comes to wrapping the bar. You simply flick the tongue over and the material is rigid and tactile enough to grab on the other side under the fleshy part of your palm. There is no time wasted and you can begin the exercise immediately.Also, unlike with hooks you aren’t stuck at the end with the heavy load in tired arms because you are able to effortlessly disengage from the weight by simply loosening the fingers and lifting the palm to release the tongue. Therefore you can knock out those final fatiguing reps safe in the knowledge you won’t get in a difficult disengagement at the end.I wanted to add some negatives to balance the review but I seriously can’t.I come from a family with seamstresses and so I know about stitches too and the needle work on these is perfect. Absolutely no issues with the quality control. I can see these lasting until my old age.I even chatted with the company. They are clearly 100% behind their product with exemplary customer support.I recommend any gym goer, from amateur to professional, to grab a pair of these. You won’t be disappointed.

Really great for pulldowns. Just gives you that extra bit of grip, and I find I can definitely go heavier using these

Been using these for deadlifts/RDLs specifically and can't fault them, much quicker and easier to set up with than traditional straps.Tried the cheaper MyProtein version which tore apart in a few uses, no such problem with these ones and the only reason I'm on my second pair is I lost the first.

I use these due to restricted grip caused by multiple sclerosis. They help me strengthen my target muscle and not have to worry about my grip failing first.

I first bought the rubber ones and immediately noticed a very bad smell, exactly as mentioned by other reviews. Also the rubber on the pair I received have these greyish white streaks all over them as if the straps had already been used for months. I think this may just be a fault with the manufacturing but they do look used. I decided to try them out in the gym anyway and was very impressed with how effective they were. I was able to do lunges with 50 kg dumbbells in each hand, holding them for about 45 seconds, without even needing to wrap my thumbs around the bar. Usually my grip is failing on these by the end of my sets but this time I was able to just focus on legs. The straps were very easy to take on and off, and far quicker to set up around the bar than traditional lifting straps. But then there's another smell related downside... my hands smelled of rubber for hours afterwards, even after washing with soap. My whole gym bag also smelled of rubber.So I decided I'd return these and order the leather ones, assuming they're exactly the same, just leather. They're not the same. The design of the velcro strap that goes round your wrist is totally different. The rubber ones are much like the more expensive versa gripps, with two separate pieces of foam cushion coming out off the rubber at different angles. This makes strapping them around my wrist very quick and ergonomic. The leather ones are single straight piece of cushion stitched across the leather, meaning the whole single piece has to curl around my wrist. This may be fine for someone with thick wrists, but with my thin wrists this was very hard to do. It would take over a minute of pulling on the velcro very hard, and then it wasn't comfortable at all. There was no way I could lift with those so I didn't even take them to the gym.In the end I decided to keep the rubber ones and live with the smell (will have to put them in a plastic bag to prevent them stinking out my gym bag). The leather ones went back. So I feel if the leather ones had the same strap design as the rubber version, or if the bad smell could be reduced on the rubber ones, these would be an excellent pair of products.

C’est la 3e fois que je les achète.Elles ont un bon grip, ne glisse pas. Je les change au bout de quelques mois d’utilisation car la gomme s’estompe et le scratch n’est plus très efficace.Je recommande

These grips are amazing. I have other brands and they just aren't as durable or as strong.I have very poor grip strength due to arthritis in my hand but these allow me to achieve lifting heavier weights than ive been able to in the past helping me break some savage personal best records.

Parfait
