Barbell Grips - Thick Dumbbell Grips Arm Blaster Adapter with High-Density Silicone Rubber, Bar Grips for Weightlifting Muscle Growth Rapidly and Hands Stress Relieve

The media could not be loaded. Don’t be fooled by higher priced options. These do the trick and have effectively increased my forearm size as well as grip strength.Frequently use for curls, push downs, incline press, standing dumbbell calf raises and barbell shrugs.Easy to clean and very durable.My dumbbell bar is oversized, did not effect the performance of these grips or stability.

caliper measurement of grip comes out to 50mm (2") in my tests, and 55mm (2 1/8", 2.13") on the bar. maybe they were designed to be 45mm (1.77")? Both my grips are exactly the same, so I expect this is a mistake in the post and not a tolerance error.anyways, i love the grips. i thought the basic grip pattern would be useless and that the material wouldn't grip the bar enough, but it's perfect for me. I don't use heavy weights, so that may have an effect on this. I use it for pullup grips mainly, turning a 1.25" bar into one that doesn't give me marks. I've also tried some ergonomic sticky ones, and i greatly prefer these.

I think these are a good product if you are focused on increasing forearm strength, comfort and are seeking a pump.About myself: 6' 4" dude with large hands. I say this because I think the average dumbbell diameter is too small for my hand and this product allows me 2 things: a more comfortable yet challenging grip for dumbbells. I've had wrist issues from years of rowing, and this product has increased my wrist stability from increased forearm strength while also getting a great pump. I'm starting to notice that I my wrist strength is becoming less of a limiting factor on other lifts.My only draw back (that I don't think is unique to this product) is the placement of your hand relative to the gap when the product is wrapped around the dumbbell. This takes a little getting used to but I tend to put the gap between int he fleshy part of my hand between my index finger and thumb and that works for me.

I have an old Torso Track from the 1990's. I love it and it still works great, but the grips were a mess from constant kitty attacks. These work great as replacements, plus they aren't as prone to kitty scratches.

The handgrip itself is good quality and durable. However, that's it.The grips are quite thick, so if you're hand isn't on the larger size it's going to be hard to get your hand around it, though it's quite good for large hands. Also, the grips are short. They are thick, but quite short, so when I use it on my dumbells I can barely grap the weights, and when I do the sides and wrist of my hands are touching the dumbell, which is very discomforting. So unless you have small hands, the length of the grips wouldn't be too good for your hands. But at the same time, if you're hands are small, you wouldn't be able to grab the grip because of its thickness. Ironic.The surface of the grips has these indents, most likely to allow you to have a good grip for your weights, but it becomes painful to grab when you use heavier weights.

the cheapest one and is perfect!

Comfortable so your palms don't hurt from the metal bars

While these seem to be made tough, they are still too stiff and the texture doesn't help in that it irritates my hands; therefore, uncomfortable for me to grasp with or without my wearing workout gloves. Plus I use these on my smooth finished pull-up bar and they tend to "rotate" while exercising, and there is always that slight opening/gap (shown in one of the product photos) that is also uncomfortable.
