More grip and support for heavy reps

The Versa Gripps Pro were developed to specifically reduce the strain on your grip strength during heavy pulling exercises while also providing more stability at the wrist. 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 into holding on to the bar.

The special non-slip material on the grip surface ensures an especially secure hold on the barbell and stays grippy even with regular use. At the same time, the wide hand pad protects against pressure points and calluses. Thanks to the self-supporting design, the Versa Gripps can be quickly secured to the bar and released just as quickly as soon as you open your grip.

The Pro model

The Versa Gripps Pro were developed for athletes who train regularly and intensely. Compared with the Classic model, the Pro version offers a longer grip pad, 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 load 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 tightly. They should sit comfortably on the wrist and still be able to rotate slightly. If you are between two sizes, we recommend the larger option.

How to use Versa Gripps correctly

Each pair consists of one left and one right grip. First pull the wrist strap through the metal buckle, then put your hand through the opening created. The hand pad should run along the thumb and sit comfortably on the palm. Pull the strap tight, but not too tight. The Versa Gripps should sit securely without restricting mobility or circulation.

For pulling exercises such as Deadlifts, 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 up, 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 pushing 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 hand pad lies flat under the barbell and supports the palm during the movement.

Thanks to the one-handed application, 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

In heavy pulling exercises, the limiting factor is often not your back, shoulders, or arms, but your 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 your grip and hold on the bar, they take some of the load off your hands, fingers, and forearms. This lets you focus more on the actual movement and the target muscles instead of constantly fighting against declining grip strength.

In addition, the padded, 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 more clearly, and reduce unnecessary early slipping or regripping on the bar.
