When grip strength limits you, Versa Gripps support you
The Versa Gripps Classic were developed to reduce the strain on your grip strength and give you more control during pulling and pressing exercises. Especially with exercises like deadlifts, pull-ups, rows, or heavy dumbbell training, the limiting factor is often not the target muscle group, but your 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 traditional training gloves, lifting straps, or hooks. At the same time, the wide hand pad protects your hands from pressure points and calluses caused by the knurling of the barbell. The self-supporting construction allows you to attach them quickly to the bar and release them instantly as soon as you open your grip.
The Classic model
The Versa Gripps Classic are especially suitable for athletes who are just starting strength training, train with moderate weights, or combine strength training with other areas of fitness. The shorter grip piece enables quick transitions between pulling and pressing exercises and ensures easy handling 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. To do this, measure the bony area of your wrist with a tape measure. If you do not have one available, you can also use a piece of string and then measure its length with a ruler.
Versa Gripps should not fit extremely tightly. They should sit comfortably on your wrist and still be easy to rotate. 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 feed 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 be able to 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 the palm and the grip piece. Then use your fingers to pull the grip piece 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 it, simply open your hand.
Versa Gripps can also be used for pressing exercises such as the Bench Press or Overhead Press. To do this, position them slightly higher toward the forearm and tighten the strap for extra stability. The palm piece lies flat under the barbell and supports the palm during the movement.
Thanks to one-handed use, Versa Gripps work faster and more easily than traditional lifting straps. At the same time, your hand stays open and ventilated, creating less heat and moisture than with closed training gloves.

When hands and forearms need support
During heavy pulling exercises, the limiting factor is often not your back, shoulders, or arms, but your grip strength. This is due to small flexor muscles in the forearm, which are connected to the fingers via tendons through the wrist. These muscles are responsible for holding the barbell firmly. However, as training weight increases, 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, part of the load is taken off your hands, fingers, and forearms. This lets you focus more on the actual movement and the 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.
