Maximum support when training and weights get more intense

The Versa Gripps Xtreme were developed for athletes who train heavy on a regular basis and demand the highest levels of grip, stability and support. Especially during intense strength training, it is often not the actual target muscles that limit you, but the strain on your hands, forearms and wrists. This is exactly where the Versa Gripps Xtreme come in. They reduce pressure and support grip strength so you can focus more on power transfer, control and the target muscles.

The open design replaces traditional training gloves, lifting straps or hooks while giving you a direct feel on the bar without unnecessarily enclosing your hands. The wide hand support protects against pressure points and calluses, while the non-slip material provides a secure hold during heavy pulling exercises. Thanks to the self-supporting construction, the Versa Gripps can be fastened quickly and released just as quickly as soon as you open your grip.

The Xtreme model

Versa Gripps Xtreme are the most technically advanced model in the Versa Gripps range. They offer the highest level of support and are ideal for athletes looking for maximum support, high load capacity, and uncompromising performance in strength training.

The additional structural support comes from the patented VersaBridge construction and the patented X-design. The U-shaped VersaBridge architecture was developed to better distribute pressure across sensitive areas of the palm and reduce load in the central area of the hand.

In addition, the patented X-design stabilizes the entire construction under load and ensures that the shape is maintained even during heavy lifts. This creates an especially stable and controlled feel during pulling and pressing exercises.

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, use a tape measure around the bony area of your wrist. If you do not have one, 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 rotate easily. If you are between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger option.

How to use Versa Gripps correctly

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

For pulling exercises such as Deadlifts, Pull Ups, or rows, the bar is positioned between the palm and the grip piece. Then pull the grip piece back over the bar into your palm with your fingers. 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 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 hand pad 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 with closed training gloves.

When your 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 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. 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 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 fading grip strength.

In addition, the padded and ergonomic wrist construction supports stability during training without unnecessarily restricting mobility. The special shape helps distribute the load more comfortably and relieves the hands during heavy reps.

This can help you perform sets in a more controlled way, better feel the connection to the target muscles, and reduce unnecessary early slipping or regripping on the bar.
