GET BIGGER, STRONGER ARMS IN LESS TIME
Increasing the diameter of the bar causes much greater muscle activation throughout the arms leading to bigger, faster gains in muscle size and functional strength.
Military-grade high-density compound that grips the bar like a clamp and doesn’t compress or wear out — even after years of punishment (we guarantee it)
Thick bar training automatically targets your body’s weak links, unlocking massive increases in the strength of your whole body
More than doubles the thickness of standard Olympic bars — at a fraction of the cost of a set of thick bars
No need for new exercises or extra sets — just put on Fat Gripz on your bars and we guarantee you’ll feel the impact immediately
Fat Gripz are being used by the US Special Forces, teams in pro football, pro hockey and top MMA fighters
Fits your dumbbells, barbells and pull-up bars in less than 10 seconds — then doesn’t budge till you want to take it off
Bevelled ends ensure they fit almost all dumbbells and barbells quickly and easily

WHY THICK BARS HAVE THAT EFFECT
LESS IMBALANCES AND INJURIES
Thick bars shift the stress off the joints and onto the muscles because a thick bar spreads the weight over a larger area of the hand (just imagine bench pressing with a thick bar compared to a standard skinny bar). It also makes the forearms extensors (the muscles on the top of the forearm) and forearm flexors (the muscles on the bottom) both work similar amounts and so helps avoids imbalances, weaknesses and injury.
INCREASED MUSCLE ACTIVATION
Thicker handles stimulate much more muscle activation in the hands and forearms and in the upper arms and whole upper body. More muscle activation means much bigger muscle and strength gains.
UNLOCKING MUSCLE GAINS
Thick bars make your hands, fingers and forearms so much stronger that your body can finally stop "holding back" the strength and muscle gains in your uppers arms, back and chest.
COMPLETE TRAINING
Thick bar training automatically trains your hands, fingers and forearms at all angles. If you are bench pressing, the thick bar will train your hands and forearms in a completely different way than if you are doing chin ups with a thick pull-up bar.
NATURAL MOVEMENT
Thick bars perfectly replicate the natural function of the human hand – lifting heavy, awkward objects.
AUTOMATIC TRAINING
Thick bars means you are training your grip the whole time and you don't even need to do any extra exercises.
CONCENTRATION
Thick bars are harder to handle so you need to concentrate a lot harder. Some credit this alone with making them significantly stronger.
SHOULD I USE THICK BARS OR FAT GRIPZ
Thick bars are great but they are very expensive and, therefore, quite rare. Also, you can't take them to different gyms easily (unlike Fat Gripz).
THICK BARS
$300-$800
THICK HANDLED DUMBBELLS
$10,000-$25,000 (a set)
THICK HANDLED MACHINES
Virtually non-existant
FAT GRIPZ
Fat Gripz on the other hand, are great value. You can use them at home or in your gym and they fit almost every peice of weight training apparatus.
QUICKLY AND EASILY FIT FAT GRIPZ TO YOUR WEIGHTS
Fat Gripz are made from a high density military grade compound a lot like rubber that can be pulled open and will then snap back and clamp itself round the bar. This will instantly convert dumbbells, barbells and pull-up bars into thick bars (so that you can reclaim your lost size and strength gains).

Ratings & Reviews
Great product works great with every exercise.
I purchased my set of Fat Gripz to help keep my tendons happy, particularly in my elbows. I had to stop lifting for a couple of months to address severe medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow) pain. When I started lifting again, I used these and the thicker grips have taken the stress off my tendons and increased my grip strength. I am pain-free during and following my workouts so while there are obvious strength benefits to using them, it is the relief my elbows get while working out. Much better than the therapy I paid for.
I wish I would have heard of these sooner. I love using them on barbell presses and especially for curls. I get a better pump when using them. 10/10 Worth the money.
Have been searching for a pair to help strengthen my grip and forearm and finally got to ordering these babies! Product is perfect just as stated and is a doozy to enhance your workouts to the next level!
The best investment I've made in bodybuilding products in the entire 34 years of my time weight training. My only regret is not getting these sooner. I bought these mainly to help strengthen my grip because it's not what it used to be now that I'm getting older and had a few shoulder injuries. So it's like a 3 for 1 deal, you get good grip strength build up, better bicep pumps on curls and chest pumps on bench, and faster overall strength build up. I've seen some dudes trying to build their own FatGripz and I even tried this myself but it was never exactly right and felt odd. But that's what you get when you cut corners, so just spend the $40 and get he real thing and trade it for not buying 3 cups of Starbucks coffee, it'll be totally worth it.
This product intrigued me because I wanted to increase the size of my forearms to keep them in proportion with my arms but not focus on them and this does the trick the burn from this on my bicep curls is unbelievable I would recommend this product the only down side to it is the price for what your getting
I bought myself a pair of fat gripz to get better grip strength and bigger biceps. My arms feel bigger after working out at the gym using fat grips compared to just the bar . I overall like the idea of fat gripz.
I bought the first pair and liked them so much, I bought a second set (mostly so I could superset). These are a cheap way to basically make every exercise feel brand new.
Been wanting these for awhile now and finally got them for my birthday. Got great muscle activation throughout my whole arm. Neat piece to toss in your gym back
I expected a great forearm workout with these, but my biceps also got great activation
The first day I used my Fat Gripz I already noticed a huge difference, this one is a must buy for any serious weight-trainer, I look forward to the days I use my Gripz. I used them on my shoulder , back and chest days. Don't use them for squats at least I don't.
Bought these as I was looking to increase my grip strength. I couldn't be happier. I tend to use them in every aspect of my workout, to the point of almost over training and I get a massive pump in my forearms and within a short period if time I went from a 12" forearm to a little under 14". My grip strength has greatly improved and what I love most is I'm able to incorporate grip strength training without doing any isolation forearms exercises, just slap them on any bar or grip and you're ready to go.
