More grip and support for heavy reps
The Versa Gripps Pro were developed to specifically relieve your grip strength during heavy pulling exercises while also offering more wrist stability. Especially during intense strength training, it is often not the actual target muscles that limit you, but fatigue in your hands and forearms. This is exactly where the Versa Gripps support you. They help you focus more on movement execution and the target muscles, instead of having to invest energy purely in holding on to the bar.
The special non-slip material on the grip surface provides an especially secure hold on the barbell and stays grippy even with regular use. At the same time, the wide palm support protects against pressure points and calluses. Thanks to the self-supporting design, the Versa Gripps can be quickly fixed to the bar and released just as quickly as soon as you open your grip.
The Pro model
The Versa Gripps Pro are developed for athletes who train regularly and intensely. Compared with the Classic model, the Pro version offers a longer grip surface, a non-slip special material, and additional support around the wrist. This makes them especially suitable for heavy pulling exercises, high training volume, and repeated intense loads in strength 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 measure it, 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 tight. They should sit comfortably on your wrist and still rotate easily. If you are between two sizes, we recommend the larger option.
| 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) |
| Extra Large | 20+ cm (8+ in) |
How to use Versa Gripps correctly
Each pair consists of one left and one right grip. Start with the right grip, which is labeled 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 slide 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 the 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 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 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 the one-handed application, Versa Gripps are faster and easier to use than traditional lifting straps. At the same time, your hand stays open and ventilated, creating less heat and moisture than closed training gloves.
Benefits and use of Versa Gripps

When hands and forearms need support
In heavy pulling exercises, the limiting factor is often not the back, shoulders, or arms, but grip strength. This is caused by 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. 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 you when gripping and holding the bar, they take some of the strain 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 the hands are relieved during heavy reps.
This can help you perform sets in a more controlled way, feel the connection to the target muscles better, and reduce unnecessary early slipping or regripping on the bar.
