How to use your new Evolve Grips

Congrats on the purchase of your Evolve Grips

You’re about to turbo-charge your workout and level up your gains! Before you start using your new grips, please read the below instructions and warnings carefully.

Placing Evolve Grips onto Your Equipment

Your Evolve Grips feature curved edges at the opening, making them easier to place onto your workout equipment. Use your fingers to pull apart the opening of your grips, and simply slot them onto your barbell, dumbbells or other exercise equipment handles.

Holding your Evolve Grips

Your Evolve Grips are labelled with ‘L’ and ‘R’ symbols to indicate the left hand and right hand grip. To hold your grips correctly, wrap your hand around each grip, with the flat surface sitting comfortably in your palm. Make sure you can see the ‘L’ and ‘R’ symbols and that your fingers are pointing towards the opening of the grips.

Depending on the thickness of your bar, there will be a slight gap at the opening of the grips. This is normal and doesn’t affect their usage or effectiveness.

Don't use a "false grip"

Never lift weights with a “false grip” - make sure that your thumb is wrapped around your Evolve Grip so that you’re holding it securely.

Other Notes & Warnings

  • 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.
  • When starting out with Evolve Grips, lift lighter weights than what you would normally - it may feel unusual while you get used to the new neuromuscular challenge and will take time before you can increase your weights again.
  • Stop using thick grips immediately if you experience any pain.
  • Use Evolve Grips at your own risk and check with a physician beforehand as to whether they are suitable for your situation, particularly if you have any pre-existing medical conditions.
  • Evolve Grips are not suitable for people with allergies to silicone, rubber and similar compounds.
  • If you need to clean your Evolve Grips, do so with a mild soap or detergent, and make sure to thoroughly rinse and dry them afterwards before use.
