Buying from Evolve Grips

Evolve Grips are available in 3 different thicknesses, so you can maximise your workout no matter where you are in your fitness journey

  • Evolve Grips Comfort – have an external diameter of 45mm (1¾”) and are suitable for those who are starting out with thick grip training or are mainly wanting the benefits of improved wrist alignment and callus prevention. They are also recommended for people attending a commercial gym that already has thicker bars on its equipment.
  • Evolve Grips Performance - have an external diameter of 57mm (2¼”) and are suitable for more experienced thick grip users looking to build muscle and increase their gains.
  • Evolve Grips Power - have an external diameter of 65mm (2½“) and are suitable for thick grip pros who are ready for their next challenge.

All 3 sizes are ergonomically engineered to perfectly mold to your hand, and are made from our own proprietary silicone compound, exclusively formulated for optimal density, grip and durability.

Using Evolve Grips

Incorporating Evolve Grips into your workout immediately helps you to prevent injuries and level up your gains.

By increasing the thickness of your barbell, dumbbells and equipment handles, you will turbo-charge your workout, introducing a new neuromuscular challenge and activating more muscles.

Our patented ergonomic design molds to your hand, and ensures that your hands and wrists are correctly aligned when holding your weights, preventing injuries and reducing wrist pain.

For more information, see the Benefits page.

Evolve Grips are suitable for people of all fitness levels, from workout novice to professional athletes to those in the armed forces. They are available in 3 different thicknesses (Comfort, Performance and Power), to help you achieve your specific goals and reach your full potential.

Evolve Grips are versatile, and can be used for numerous exercises, including the bench press, shoulder press and biceps curl. They are ideal for use in push movements, however you can view the Exercises page for a full list of suitable exercises.

If using Evolve Grips for pull exercises where there is a risk that the weights can shift out of your hands (eg. a deadlift or row), you must use lifting straps to secure your grasp of the weights. Note however that the use of lifting straps reduces the grip strength component of an exercise, as you can rely on the straps rather than on your grip strength. 

Do not use Evolve Grips for exercises that require your grip to change mid-movement (such as the ‘Clean and Jerk’ or ‘Snatch’).

The bevelled rims on Evolve Grips allow them to fit onto a wider range of dumbbells and barbells (including angled EZ bars), as well as a variety of equipment handles.

There are 2 criteria required for Evolve Grips to fit safely and securely onto your equipment:

  1. The diameter of your bar or handle must be between 1” and 1½” (between 25mm and 38mm), and
  2. Your bar or handle must be straight, and at least 4¾” (12cm) long

Evolve Grips are not suitable for neoprene dumbbells or kettlebells with tapered or curved handles.

Note: depending on the diameter of your bar or handle, there may be a gap at the opening of your grips. A slight gap is perfectly normal, and your Evolve Grips are still safe to use, so long as you are holding them correctly and the diameter of your bar or handle falls within the above ranges.

Evolve Grips can be used on a range of exercise equipment, such as resistance tube handles, dip bars, cable machine handles and many more!

Other

In developing this proprietary formula, we took into account characteristics such as tactile feel, coefficient of friction, compression set and optical properties, to create a grip that is both comfortable and robust.

Your Evolve Grips will not wear out, and have been designed to last a lifetime.

Fat Gripz is a popular brand of thick grips which also work by increasing the diameter of various weightlifting bars for greater muscle activation.

Evolve Grips increase the thickness of your barbell, dumbbells and equipment handles to intensify your workout, however our patented ergonomic design also improves your form and helps to prevent injuries.

The rounded edges at the opening of Evolve Grips also make them easier to open up, allowing for effortless placement and removal.
