PRO Wrist Straps, Train Better

I lift 6 days a week and my three main weak links are my wrists, tendonitis in my right elbow/forearm and right shoulder. I noticed that changing my workout to pull/pull/push/push/arms/legs (days) decreased my pain by allowing more recovery time in my forearms over spreading out pull days. I've never been a fan of straps because they take time to wrap, dig into my wrists and unless I'm super careful wrapping they alter the shape of the bar/grip. One of my gym buddies recommended two things: these straps and a forearm strap. I already had a forearm strap with a gel 'lump' that presses into the tendon bit never thought to use it while weight lifting. These straps looked bulky but he was a chiropractor and serious trainer so I gave it a shot. These straps are the greatest things since pre workout! Simple, unbelievably effective and very well made. These hold so well I now use a false grip for most pulling moves including dead lift and shrugs. These have a thumb relief so a natural grip is fine, but I find when doing barbell shrugs, lat pull downs, and other exercises that a false grip is more comfortable and with these the grip/hold is so strong I can confidently grip barbell and dumbells any way I feel like and there is zero.zerozero chance it'll slip. I train hard, like have to wipe the floor sometimes from sweat hard and I've never once felt like these could possibly slip. I've seen a definite increase in my traps, lats and back training since using these. For reference I used to shrug barbell till failure then immediately do strip sets of dumbell shrugs to failure and would start with 80lb dumbells since my grip was already tired from 40+ shrugs with 350-200 lbs on barbell. Now I start with 100 or 90s and plan on stepping up to 110s in the next two weeks. Absolutely no way I could do that without these straps. Regular straps are a PITA to use on dumbells; these, again, let me use a false grip on 100 lb dumbells! Scary the first time but now it's just natural. Over all these two small changes have increased my lifting, decreased my pain and the dinner I promised him to thank him will surely cost a lot more than these did. Get off the fence and buy these. Best damn straps on the planet. I've used all the standards, padded standards and even the built in hooks. The hooks are great but awkward and limit movement and form. Regular straps are too slow, too much work, dig into my wrist too much and rarely inspire confidence. These are perfect. Worth every nickle.

Versa Gripps are a game changer. I had tried some other types of straps but after having seen a lot of hype for VGs I decided to give them a try, and I was not disappointed! They're well made and do exactly what they were designed to do; help improve grip, maximize weight, and isolate muscles. The Pro versions are exceptionally grippy, have a nice little bump at the end of the pad to secure the hold, and have a little extra length, which I find beneficial even with smaller hands and wrists. Also love the colors, which might not seem important, but training is hard and a splash of color put a bright spot in the midst of pain. There are some people I've heard from say "I don't need straps because I want work on my grip strength". Those same people have eventually started using these and expirenced substantial improvements to their training. There are some misconceptions about these having a negative effect on grip training, however, they don't eliminate grip strength, they eliminate the limitations of grip. When you're doing a heavy set of barbell or dumbbell rows or stiffleg deadlifts trying to isolate your back and hamstrings, you don't want to burn up your total energy reserve trying to stabilize and hang on or unintentionally put more focus on supporting muscles. After training with these for several months, I've greatly increased my weight and training effectiveness and my natural grip strength has continued to improve (turns out grip has a lot to do with other muscles beside you hands). If you have a well rounded training split, you're going get plenty of work on general support and strength. One thing to note on this specific design over other straps or hooks, is that you can quickly and safely remove yourself from a bar or equipment when you need to. Some designs can actually carry some risk, such as with hooks, as you are not able to let go if need be. These are expensive, there's no getting around that, but when used properly the results more than justify the cost and they will last, plus they're made in the good ol' US of A. I know people using the same pair after many years. There is a bit of a break-in period and you may develop some calluses but they'll work in over time and during training you should be more focused on form. I don't know that I would ever strictly say VGs are "comfortable" but they are very functional without being distracting, and you do get used to them. To be fair though, I don't go to the gym to be comfortable... exercise is hard work and takes dedication. Maximize the work for the time you put in. Use Versa Gripps.

Love these! Had my old pair for 8+ years and they were ready to fall apart but they're pricey. Thankfully I got these on prime day and love them! Went you a get a new pair, you have to break them in but it's great for lifting so you can focus on the muscle you're working rather than the grip on the bar. I got a small (I'm 5-1 and about 140 lbs) and they're a little bit big but they work well. I'm afraid to go down to a XS because it might not fit. It's velcro so you can adjust to your size. Doesn't pinch on your or anything so they're pretty comfy :)

I’ve been using Versa Grips for 20 plus years and have always liked them. Just upgraded from the Classic to the Pro and they are well worth the extra money. The grip pad is thinner and has more grip. The pad is a little longer which helps wrap around the bar or handle even better. Great project and I would recommend them to anyone.

I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful these are. The single greatest lifting strap ever made. Worth every penny. Built to outlast anything you can throw at them. Don’t waste your money on cheap imitations. Last straps you’ll ever buy.

I’ve been wearing straps for a years when doing heavy pull work and they have worked fine for the most part. Straps are cheap and reliable. For some reason I wanted to give Versa Gripps a try and see how they compare to the straps. My initial impression of the Versa Gripps was not good at all. I put them on and cinched them down tight! Well, the weight pulled and the straps chafed the crap out of my wrists - left almost a slight burn. I then tried to use them to do pull ups to see how they would feel. Same thing! Chafed my wrists. I decided that maybe I’m using them wrong so I referenced the how to video and sure enough I was. After I cinched them down only a little bit and allowed them to move freely did I experience the goodness. These things are fantastic. Very comfortable and very “sticky”. I sweat a metric ton when I lift and it doesn’t make a difference on the stickiness. One thing to note - make sure you fully disengage and let go of the part that wraps around the bar. With straps I can just open my hands and they unravel. Not these. You have to fully open your hand and make sure everything is out of the way because even a little bit of the wrapper will grip. I tried to let myself drop from the pull-up bar and couldn’t let go! I had to get my feet up on a box so I could completely disengage. Money well spent and the fact that they are made in the USA makes me feel a little bit better knowing the my money is staying here.

Just got the pros delivered today. Used them right away for my X3 bar pull day. What a difference they made. For the first time I was able to do bent over row to muscle failure. I was able to do deadlifts until I hollered so loud my wife rushed upstairs to check on me. These things are really great. Very expensive, though. Considering the minimum packaging and all, I'm sure they make a killing off each sell. However, they are made in the USA and they do work and as stated. So although they are obnoxiously expensive, I'm still satisfied with them.

All positive absolutely love these. Able to do more weight and reps with these because of the killer grip control.

Very nice
