Tribus - 2-in-1 Thick Grips for Dumbbells and Barbells, 2.05" & 2.44" Thick Dumbbell Grips for Women, Extreme Arm & Forearm Builder Grip Strength, Barbell Grip for Weight Lifting.

These are very sturdy quality grips but they are both very thick, not so suited for smaller hands.

These TRIBUS Thick Grips are far more potentially useful than advertised. Not only can you use them on your barbell and dumbbells, but they also work great on your pullup/chin-up bar, cable pulls, bars, handles of various types, and even as a padded grip at the hand end of your barbell when used as a landmine, etc. In other words, they can be used on any 1" or 2" bar as well as any bar or grab, handle, etc., that's in that neighborhood, size-wise, and will work not only for grip strengthening, but also to soften an uncomfortable handle, such as on a dip station, for example.Don't let the pretty pink (of the larger outer 2" sleeve) and purple (of the smaller inner 1" sleeve) nor the product title and packaging, fool you into thinking these grips are for women only. They are simply very versatile thick grips that will work for both men and women, alike. (Frankly, it seems odd that they wouldn't be advertised that way...)Studies have shown that using thick grips to build grip strength is actually more effective with eccentric pulls, so keep that in mind when you are choosing how best to make use of them, if that's your goal. (I like using them for heavily weighted eccentric hold/lowers from a pullup bar, for example, where I primarily focus on really squeezing with my grip while simultaneously performing a super slow decent, for several reps with 10 second rests, in-between. Deadlifts are also a great way to use them as the pull on your arms is eccentric.)A couple things to note are that the outer and inner grips are tongue-and-grooved to lineup and mate together with the lengthwise slice/openings matching-up, and that they seem to work best when those openings are placed in your palm, so that your squeezing action actually works to help them grip tighter on the bar.These are great, highly versatile, thick grips that will undoubtedly last essentially forever!

Perhaps I should have studied the listing better before selecting this item, because I didn't realize how thick these really are. I thought one might be, but the other would be better suited to a smaller hand. But they're both very thick. The change in hand grip might affect how the muscles are exercised, which is interesting, but it also might be even more uncomfortable than bare steel or iron over time.Having said all that, these are seriously substantial and high quality. They come shipped in a beautiful tin box, perfect for gift-giving--although mine was a bit damaged during shipment, so that seems less viable.In my opinion, these could be more versatile by making one of the grips thinner, but overall, they seem high quality and very substantial. Would highly recommend for people with larger hands.

My husband bought there for me and told me I was going to hate using them. They are the worst, but I know they are doing their job. They’re easy to put on the bar. They don’t slip and slide. They stay in place. I’ve been able to use these without an issue.

The media could not be loaded. I knew that my under knuckles were having a hard time when using the dumbbells but I finally found this. It makes the dumbbell thicker for you not to grip so tight. Has two sizes; they are silicone so it’s easy to take off and put on
