What are Fat Gripz used for?

They’re used to strengthen grip, build bigger arms, improve joint stability, and increase forearm and upper body muscle activation in exercises like curls, rows, presses, and deadlifts.

Do Fat Gripz really work?

Absolutely. Both research and anecdotal experience from athletes confirm that they promote faster hypertrophy and better grip endurance.

How do Fat Gripz work?

They force your hands and forearms to grip a wider surface, increasing neuromuscular engagement and activating more muscle fibers in every rep.

When should I use Fat Gripz?

Use Fat Gripz 2–3 times per week on pulling or pressing movements to challenge grip strength, stimulate new muscle growth, or reduce joint stress. Avoid using them for Olympic lifts or speed-based movements.

Which Fat Gripz should I buy?

The original Fat Gripz (blue) are best for most users. Advanced lifters might prefer the Fat Gripz Extreme (orange)for a larger diameter challenge.

How to make Fat Gripz at home?

You can DIY a temporary version by wrapping a hand towel, yoga mat piece, or thick foam around a barbell. However, this doesn’t provide the same grip, safety, or durability as the original Fat Gripz.
