Versa Gripps

One word has frustrated gym goers all over the world for eons and holds back countless people from reaching their weight lifting potential: Grip.

Are you ever forced to cut your heavy sets short because you just can’t hold the weight any longer? Well, you’re only as strong as your weakest link, and your ability to maximally develop your large muscle groups hinges on your ability to hold the weight.  You can strengthen these muscles with some isolation exercises that focus on them such as plate pinches, wrist curls, and hand gripper tools but progress is slow and you can find yourself being held back by a lack of progress there.

Introducing Versa Gripps

Do you ever get shooting pain up and down your forearms after an intense workout due to the stress put on your wrist joint?  Your wrist area is a small fragile joint that is very vulnerable to being damaged.

That’s why you need to look into buying a set of Versa Gripps.  This versatile and easy-to-use lifting aid utilizes patented technology to assist you in overcoming your bodies wrist and hand limitations.

We reviewed this ourselves, and we loved them.

They’ll help you stay more focused on the major muscle group you’re working, and spend less time worrying about if your grip can make it through another rep.  This is a huge advantage, the mind/muscle connection effect that increased concentration allows you will provide benefits above and beyond simply those of being able to hold the weight longer.

What about other lifting gloves and straps?

Lifting straps can require two hands to set up tightly and properly, especially for over the head pulling exercises.  Additionally, lifting straps can present a dangerous situation if you need to immediately release a weight, often the straps will not come undone immediately leaving you with the potential for hand and wrist injuries.

Lifting gloves can provide somewhat better grip, but they are usually cheaply made and don’t stand the gruelling punishment you put on them in the gym.  They also enclose the entire hand in a festering playground of sweat and bacteria.

Why Versa Gripps?

Versa Gripps utilize patented technology to solve grip and wrist support issues in the gym, while avoiding the issues that plague other grip aids.  

The gripping portion is self-supporting, flexible, and stands up in front of your palm and fingers, so it is alway in reach and useable with just one hand.  It’s made of a proprietary reinforced material that is tacky and will remain grippy for the many years you’ll be using the product.  It is just wide enough to cover the palm to offer maximum gripping area and protect

your hand from the knurls (The pattern of bumps and grooves.) on dumbbells and barbells as well as the stopping painful calluses from developing on your hand.  

The body of the product is antibacterial and antimicrobial, and designed to be open, allowing your hands the room to breathe and your fingers to retain their freedom of movement.  At the base of the palm you’ll find a section of arch support that will protect your hand from developing painful carpal tunnel issues.  The product attaches to your wrist via a secure hook and loop closure and velcro.  Additionally, you get the valuable safety feature of being able to drop weights immediately if you need to.

How to use

Versa Gripps are also incredibly easy to use and can for both pulling and pushing exercises.  First of course you need to attach the product to your wrist using the comfortable wrist strap.  Do NOT try to fasten the product tightly, a bit of looseness in the wrist is intentional to avoid restricting blood flow, movement, or damaging any nerves in the wrist.

Next, if you’re completing a pulling exercise, position your hand so that the lifting bar is between your palm and the gripping portion.  Now using your fingertips, fold the end of the product over the weightlifting bar and against your palm.  Grab the bar as you would normally grab a weightlifting bar, and start lifting.

For pushing exercises, simply position the palm piece flat on your hand, with the weight atop it and grab as you normally would when performing pushing exercises.

Which style is right for you?

Versa Gripps come in three different styles and several sizes.  You’ll want to make sure you get the one that’s right for you.

• Fit Series

• Classic Series

• Pro Series

The Classic is the core of the product line, It’s the go to product for those of normal size and training regimen.  The main difference between the Classic and the Pro is that the Pro is the size of the gripping piece being larger, to offer more support on very heavy lifts such as deadlifts.  It has also been double reinforced to provide more durability in the face of

these heavy lifts.  So if you do a lot of deadlifts or other very heavy lifts, you might want to consider making the upgrade to the Pro series.  The Fit series was designed with women in mind.  It’s a little smaller, and narrower with the female bone structure in mind.

We would actually recommend purchasing from the pro series. We understand this happens to be one of the more expensive products, but, due to the small price difference, the increased durability and grip strength of this series will prove worthy of your dollar.

It’s also very important that you order the correctly sized product for your wrist.  Use  measuring tape to take a measurement around the bony portion of your wrist, then go to the style you’re interested in purchasing and reference the measuring chart to determine what size to order.  When you get your product it will be a little loose in the wrist, remember that this is intentional the product is not supposed to fit tightly on your wrist.  It should simply be secure.
