When grip strength limits you, Versa Gripps support you
Versa Gripps Classic were developed to reduce the load on your grip strength and give you more control during pulling and pressing exercises. Especially in exercises such as deadlifts, pull-ups, rows or heavy dumbbell training, the problem is often not the target muscles but the hands and forearms. This is exactly where Versa Gripps come in. They help you stay on the bar longer and focus more on the actual movement and muscle work.
Thanks to the open design, you no longer need classic training gloves, lifting straps or hooks. At the same time, the wide palm support protects your hands from pressure points and calluses caused by the knurling of the barbell. The self-supporting construction allows quick fastening to the bar and immediate release as soon as you open your grip.
The Classic model
Versa Gripps Classic are especially suitable for athletes who are just starting strength training, training with moderate weights or combining strength training with other areas of fitness. The shorter grip section allows fast transitions between pulling and pressing exercises and makes them easy to handle during training.

Versa Gripps size guide
The right size for Versa Gripps is not determined by your hand size, but by the circumference of your wrist. Measure the bony area of your wrist with a measuring tape. If you do not have one available, you can also use a piece of string and then measure the length with a ruler.
Versa Gripps should not fit extremely tightly. They should sit comfortably on the wrist and still rotate easily. If you are between two sizes, the larger option is recommended.
| Wrist circumference | |
|---|---|
| Extra Small | 13-15 cm (5-6 in) |
| Small | 16-17 cm (6-7 in) |
| Regular / Large | 18-20 cm (7-8 in) |
The Extra Large option for a wrist circumference over 20 cm (8+ in) is available for the Pro and XTREME models.
How to use Versa Gripps correctly
Each pair consists of a left and a right grip. Start with the right grip, which is marked accordingly directly under the wrist pad for easier orientation. Hold the grip so that the label faces you, and guide the wrist strap through the metal ring. Then either put your right hand through the loose loop or place your hand directly on the grip and then tighten the wrist strap over your wrist. Repeat the process with the left grip.
Your Versa Gripps should sit comfortably on your wrist and rotate so that the curve of the palm piece is aligned along your thumb. Do not tighten the wrist strap too much.


For pulling exercises such as deadlifts, strict pull-ups or rows, the bar is positioned between your palm and the grip section. Then use your fingers to pull the grip section back over the bar into your palm. As soon as pressure builds, the grip locks onto the bar and supports your grip strength during the movement. To release, simply open your grip.
Versa Gripps can also be used for pressing exercises such as the bench press or overhead press. To do this, position them slightly higher towards the forearm and tighten the loop for extra stability. The palm support lies flat under the barbell and supports the palm during the movement.

Thanks to one-handed use, Versa Gripps are faster and easier than classic lifting straps. At the same time, your hand stays open and ventilated, creating less heat and moisture than closed training gloves.

When hands and forearms need support
In heavy pulling exercises, the limiting factor is often not your back, shoulders or arms, but your grip strength. Responsible for this are small flexor muscles in the forearm, which are connected to the fingers via tendons through the wrist. These muscles take on the task of holding the barbell. As training weight increases, however, they fatigue much faster than the large muscle groups you actually want to train.
This is exactly where Versa Gripps come in. By supporting your grip and hold on the bar, they take some of the load off your hands, fingers and forearms. This allows you to focus more on the actual movement and target muscles instead of constantly having to fight against fading grip strength.
In addition, the padded and ergonomic wrist construction supports stability during training without unnecessarily restricting mobility. The special shape ensures that the load is distributed more comfortably and that your hands are relieved during heavy reps.
This can help you perform sets with more control, feel the connection to the target muscles better and reduce unnecessary early slipping or regripping on the bar.
