Iron Bull Strength Alpha Grips 3.0 - Extreme Arm Blaster - Best Dumbbell and Barbell Thick Bar Adapter

I HIGHLY recommend using this. I've been working out for 15 plus years and did many grip exercises. If you can't find a thick handle bar for weight lifting or if you do calisthenics and its hard to find a thick bar to improve your grip, this will certainly do the job. As of right now I do mostly calisthenics and I wanted to use a product that can help be improve my forearm strength. I've used towel pull ups which are fantastic but the towels are usually too bulky for me to carry around all day and sometimes don't hold up. These grips are fantastic. They're not too light but they aren't a pain to carry around. I've been using this for calisthenics (mainly pull ups and chin ups (different grips)) and my grip strength and forearm size are showing. I've also used this for weight lifting and I recommend it more for weight lifting. I would say do half the size of the weight your normally lift when you use this product though because you WILL feel the difference in how much your hand has to work. I did some shrugs with 100lb dumbbells, then tried doing it with the grips, NOT HAPPENING. I had to go down to 40-45lbs. If you're a big, tall and strong guy, with big hands, this might not be super effective for you but I am certain you will feel something. For guys who are below, average or a little above average stature then this will do wonders for you and will add a whole new dimension of training. JUST BUY THESE DAMN GRIPS.

I'm a tall lanky guy who's been into weightlifting for about 5 months. I've made nice gains but am plateauing because my forearms are too weak to progress to heavier weights. This is because I have long arms with thin wrists and huge hands. My hand span from the wrist to tip of middle finger is 9 inches. When I grip a 1 inch diameter bar, it doesn't even come close to activating my forearm muscles and so I am not progressing. Not so with these things. With the 3 inch grips I can almost close my hand around them and wow, do they ever activate my forearms. With my bench press, deadlift, and pull-ups it feels like I'm just doing forearm exercises now. After a week of my normal routine my forearms are so pumped. These are the key I needed to keep moving forward. I highly recommend them for anyone with my body type.

Great product and quality, just over priced.

Yes they are big and difficult to use...but that's exactly why I bought them. As an athlete in my 40s, I am always looking to challenge myself in ways that doesn't involve the pounding of heavier weights or the boredom of higher reps. So ideally, I am always looking for ways to make lighter weight more difficult to use. I already had experience with Fat Gripz and Fat Gripz Extreme, so I knew that I would be able to handle the Alpha Grips 3.0. I am proof that you do not need big hands to handle these (I am 5'9" 185 lbs.), you just have to have realistic expectations as to what you are going to do with them. I have been doing sets of 10-12 reps of bodyweight pull ups and have not yet gone above 50 lb. dumbbells for any exercise with these monsters...but that's just fine with me. Thanks for a great product! ***Update*** I am still using these things on a regular basis. I mainly use them for pulling exercises, but they also fit surprisingly well on my close grip tricep attachment and enhance pushdowns. I will keep experimenting.

I am an avid grip trainer and these are very easily one of my new favorite tools to use during the week. These things are absolute beasts and attacks the entire hand when you use them. very durable and heavy duty too. This pair is going to last a lifetime of gripping! Very satisfied and would recommend to anyone looking to improve their forearm strength

Iron Bull Tgrip 3.0 inch diameter: These grips are perfect for their intended purpose, to improve grip. Those who complain about the size imho do not fully comprehend this purpose. A novice in grip training should not start grip training with these. Drop down to the 2.0 or 2.25 and gradually work up to higher reps and heavier weight or you may pay the price of severe tendonitis. After I placed these over a taped/oversized dumbell it's like griping a Coke can!! Looking forward to great progress in grip training! VERY PLEASED!!

This is a great product for working forearms. It is a bear to get on the barbell at first, but when it becomes easier, I can assure you that your forearms/grip strength is increasing. I use these for reverse curl bar curls, wrist curls, and simply holding a loaded barbell for forearm strength and development. It’s taken about a month to get better accustomed with it which I feel is quite appropriate!

If you have not used the smaller versions I would not recommend making the jump to these. If you have however these are an essential tool in both isolation and grip strength.

these are impractically large and ultimately a waste of money. I wish I had gotten 2-2.5" instead. I am giving 5 stars because the size is exactly as suggested, the material feels great and the shape/ ergonomics are ideal. Only slight cirque is they will smell strongly of vanilla for a couple of weeks...

Well built durable grip thickeners for dumbells and bars/handles , these ones are really thick and will reduce your poundage capabilities significantly , but work your thumb/fingers and forearms to a huge degree , usefull easily applied tool in the strength armoury

Cet Iron Bull TGrip 3.0 est idéal pour travailler sa force de préhension. Il est de très bonne qualité ! Je le conseille aux athlètes pratiquant le culturisme et/ou le bras de fer sportif. A recommander +++

Se adapta muy bien tanto a las barras como a las mancuernas Se activan mucho más las fibras a nivel neuromuscular y la presencia de carga de nota más .. aumenta la resistencia en la ejecución y mejora a la larga la tracción muscular

Me encantaron, son más anchos que los fat grips azules. Son para manos grandes y quedan perfectamente en cualquier tipo de mancuerna y barra olímpica.
