Fat Gripz anyone??

[Yoda]

I recently bought some of the fat grips and have been using them... They do for sure make your workouts more challenging and make you feel like a panzy cause you have to reduce weight on some movements... This could be too that have stubby small fat hands. Anyone else ever used these? Opinons?

And yes its true what they say about guys with small hands... they wear small gloves.

never used anything other then straps,

yeah these are exactly opposite... they go on the bar or db and make the bar or bd grip like three times as thick... a real forearm and grip developer. Supposed to help overall strength and developement... not sure about that but grip and forearms... wow, that they effect.

I've never used them, but I've considered buying some.

 

[Yoda]

I'm liking them so far... I've only had three workouts with them but digging them so far, my opinion right now is they are worth the investment... think i paid 25.

Hey Big the guy pinning his forearms would benefit more from these I think lol

 

[csuperman]

could help the forearms but if its reducing the weight in lifts it could hinder the targeted muscle I would think.

 

[Yoda]

Yeah I could see that but it's more just reverse grip curls and things of that nature where the grip isn't "natural" that they hinder... I wouldn't use them for all of those all the time but it was neat to see how difficult the fatter grip really can make things

my gym has a angled bar to use for triceps that is about 3 times as round as the reg. bars. I use it sometimes on the lat pull for triceps.
You have to go slower to keep good control so it not only works the forearms but still gives good concentration on the tris. Good to
switch it up sometimes.
