## Description

Stop Killing your Strength and Size Gains with Standard Barbells and Dumbbells Did you know that old school powerlifters, professional weightlifters, bodybuilders and pro athletes are all training with handle diameters of 2 to 3 inches thick? One reason your gym only has 1 inch bars and dumbbells is because they are way cheaper to buy. However, using fat grips and bars build much more strength and size than regular bars.Unleash Levels of Power You’ve Never Experienced Before Brooks Kubik, multiple world record holder says: “Using a thick handled bar is one of the very best things you can do to develop maximum muscular size and strength. Thick bar work develops levels of upper body power virtually incomprehensible to those who train only with regular bars”How it Works Thick bars stimulate much more muscle fibers in the hands, forearms, upper arms and whole upper body. How? By the principle of irradiation: “A muscle contracting at its maximum capacity will recruit the neighboring muscle to support its action.” Using a fatter grip forces your hands and forearms to maximally contract automatically recruiting the surrounding muscles (upper arms, upper body).”Some of the Benefits You Get: 1. Recruit More Muscle Fibers in the Upper Body 2. Increase Finger, Hand, Forearms and Arms Strength and Size 3. Less Imbalances and Injuries 4. Natural Movement The Bottom Line Basically, using a thick bar is the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to add muscle and strength to your upper body. If you're an experienced lifter and have trained with thick bars before, go with the Alpha Grips 3.0. Get a pair today and don't let regular size bars rob you of any more gains.

Review: THICK FOREARMS - I HIGHLY recommend using this. I've been working out for 15 plus years and did many grip exercises. If you can't find a thick handle bar for weight lifting or if you do calisthenics and its hard to find a thick bar to improve your grip, this will certainly do the job. As of right now I do mostly calisthenics and I wanted to use a product that can help be improve my forearm strength. I've used towel pull ups which are fantastic but the towels are usually too bulky for me to carry around all day and sometimes don't hold up. These grips are fantastic. They're not too light but they aren't a pain to carry around. I've been using this for calisthenics (mainly pull ups and chin ups (different grips)) and my grip strength and forearm size are showing. I've also used this for weight lifting and I recommend it more for weight lifting. I would say do half the size of the weight your normally lift when you use this product though because you WILL feel the difference in how much your hand has to work. I did some shrugs with 100lb dumbbells, then tried doing it with the grips, NOT HAPPENING. I had to go down to 40-45lbs. If you're a big, tall and strong guy, with big hands, this might not be super effective for you but I am certain you will feel something. For guys who are below, average or a little above average stature then this will do wonders for you and will add a whole new dimension of training. JUST BUY THESE DAMN GRIPS.
Review: Wow - I'm a tall lanky guy who's been into weightlifting for about 5 months. I've made nice gains but am plateauing because my forearms are too weak to progress to heavier weights. This is because I have long arms with thin wrists and huge hands. My hand span from the wrist to tip of middle finger is 9 inches. When I grip a 1 inch diameter bar, it doesn't even come close to activating my forearm muscles and so I am not progressing. Not so with these things. With the 3 inch grips I can almost close my hand around them and wow, do they ever activate my forearms. With my bench press, deadlift, and pull-ups it feels like I'm just doing forearm exercises now. After a week of my normal routine my forearms are so pumped. These are the key I needed to keep moving forward. I highly recommend them for anyone with my body type.

## Features

- BUILD BIGGER, STRONGER ARMS: The Alpha Grips will instantly recruit more muscle fibers in your arms and forearms by increasing the diameter of any barbells, dumbbells, cable attachments and exercise machine handles. Using fat grips is the equivalent of using a fat bar but with so many more possibilities at a fraction of the price.
- FULLY VERSTAILE: Simply wrap the Alpha Grips around any regular dumbbell, barbell, pull up bar, push up bar, cable attachment or any other bar and turn it into thick bar training. These grips will triple the size of regular bars (3.0 inch diameter) and turn your workout into an extreme muscle building workout.
- PATENTED ERGONOMIC DESIGN: Our unique and patented curved design gives more support and a more natural hand placement on the bar allowing for safer and more efficient training. Convert any bars within seconds in 2 easy steps: 1-Spread open the grips, 2-Attach to bar. Start building more muscle!
- USED BY TOP BODYBUILDERS: Thick bar training is used by NFL players, MMA fighters, bodybuilders, cross-fitters, powerlifters and many pro athletes. Fat grips create less stress on joints, less injuries, less imbalances and recruits more muscle fibers. You also work your whole grip without even noticing it and when it's most important. While lifting heavy weights.
- LIFETIME WARRANTY: The Alpha Grips are made from a highly durable rubber material that don't compress under heavy weight. Unlike other competitors, we use a high-grade rubber compound and not a cheap, slippery silicone material. They will literally last a lifetime. You only need to buy one pair and you're good to build muscle for a lifetime.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the inner circle diameter?**
A: Its 2.5cm. It'll fit around a slightly bigger bar and be opened up a little so the sides won't touch.

**Q: I am unsure if I should purchase the 2.5's or the 3.0's. I have large hands, from my wrist to the tip of my middle finger is 9 inches.**
A: I train with the 3.0s and my hands are 8 inches long but I'd advise the 2.5s first unless you have stronger hands. I train my grip strength with grippers and my hand strength can close a captain's of crush 3 which is 280lbs.

**Q: How tough is the grip on these? Will I need gloves?**
A: Its pretty easy on your hands youll just need strong enough hands to keep a good grip on them.  Id advise training your grip also so you can use these on all your exercises. Best equipment to train yoir grip is ironmind captains of crush grippers

**Q: how to get rid of the smell?**
A: You dontt he smell goes away after use for a while mine stopped the smell just smells like rubber now
