Jedd from the DieselCrew posted a detailed review of various thick bar handles.
He lists the pros and cons of Tyler Grips, Fat Gripz, and Grip4orce Handles.
I own a pair of Fat Gripz, but I don’t use them that often. However it’s a nice addition if you want to mix things up in your training.
This was very useful. Thanks for making this video.
Don’t thank me, thank Jedd. He made it.
Grip4orce is in a class of their own. Takes easy out of the lift and makes you focus more on the grip. Creating as much tension in the body is important for strength. Grip4orce do help at recruiting more fibers. Tyler grips seems a bit on the cheap side, the ones I have the rubber ripped on the end. Fgz are a bit to large to start with to me 2 1/4 , I thing 2″ is enough any bigger and your hand is almost to open and weight reduction is to much.
Thanks for you feedback.
Opinions vary widely on this one. But I second your take on Fat Gripz being almost to fat for smaller hands.
I know this is an older article, but I found it so I’m sure others will. I just wanted to put it my piece for the tyler grips, since I have them and fat grips.
I actually prefer the tyler grips and initially bought them based on a comment Dave Tate made. Yes, you can use the taper WITH the strength curve (as shown in the video), but if you want to really hammer your grip, you would use them AGAINST the strength curve. Dave Tate made a comment that if you drop a deadlift it always happens from the pinky, once that goes you’re done. flip the grip around, pinky on the large part. yes, it’s awkward, but these are actually pretty good for building strength, and I have never had to use straps on anything.
Jedd- Try em this way, I think you’ll enjoy them more.
One more thing, having a nasty cyst in my wrist complicates benching sometimes and the tyler grips seem to alleviate a lot of the pain that comes with it, but that’s an aside.
No brainer on this one…Grip4orce! The reason behind their technology simply works.
