For most, every bit of space is important in the home gym. Tools like the Titan Grips can come in very handy for this setting. They take up basically zero space and add a ton of diversity to your lifts.
How do they work?
These are grips that attach to just about any type of barbell, dumbbell, or other type of attachment in the gym (any 1 to 1.5-inch handle). They can be used for basic lifts like bench press, curls, pull-ups, lat pull-downs, shoulder press, etc. They’ll also be helpful when using cables or machine equipment where there is a handle. Their YouTube page has an instructional guide to using for a variety of workouts. They are not designed to be used for olympic weightlifting or one rep maxes.
The grips are flexible enough to wrap around multiple types of equipment and are extremely easy to take on and off. They weigh next to nothing, but are tough enough to not compress when weight is applied. You can’t squeeze them like a stress ball.
Why the Grips?
Without getting too scientific, the grips change your hand placement, which ultimately makes each lift different than they were without. Therefore, different muscles are activated. They can be used for all or one of many sets. It’s a good change of pace and may be especially helpful if you’ve hit a plateau, needing to try something different.
It does not feel abnormal to use the grips. They fit snug on the bar and are easy on the hands. The angles also help to relieve pressure from your wrists and shoulders.
In conclusion, the Titan Grips are a simple but brilliant tool that will allow you to add another dimension to your workouts without taking up any space. Plus, they are not going to break your bank. They cost $26.99, but you can use the promotional code garagegym100 to save an additional 15%.
