Recommended. - Exactly what they look like. I wouldn't change a thing about them. Very solid, quality built product at a pretty good price, (compared to the more expensive 'FatGripz'). They arrived on time, and shortly after, I received a personalized message from the owner of the 'Beast Gear' business himself, asking if everything was alright with them and if I had any questions; very direct customer support. As an intermediate powerlifter and gym-rat, I can highly recommend these... especially when it comes to grip/forearm training. I have only trained with them a couple of times so far, but they are very grippy (rubberized surface), unlike some of the cheaper variants on desertcart that apparently aren't very grippy, and don't fit around bars well. This is not the case for 'Beast Grips'. They definitely increase forearm activation when doing wrist curls, and other forearm exercises. I also tried them on deadlifts... (emphasis on "tried"), I can usually (double overhand) grip anything up to about 150kg/330lbs, however with the 'Beast Grips' applied, I couldn't even (double overhand) grip 100kg/220lbs! Guess I'll have to start working my grip more now... fortunately, now I have the perfect product for that! I plan on using these occasionally on pressing movements too (especially bench, and OHP). Apparently thicker grips on pressing movements reduce joint stress, not sure if that's true, but they definitely make presses feel different... which could be beneficial for reducing the law of accommodation. We'll see... Anyway... definitely recommended for those who know what to do with them. I wouldn't recommend them for beginners because they're simply unnecessary. However, if you have been lifting for at least a few months, and you want to step up your grip game, or you simply want to introduce new stimulus on familiar lifts, give em' a try! They're only like £18 and they'll last for years, plus I think they'd be beneficial for bicep training too. Review: Well priced, very well made, get this one - from a v. picky person! - Chose these over other alternatives due to the great price and having bought (and constantly use) Beast Gear's skipping rope as well (really recommend those too). The build quality is great. I know on a lot of these reviews you wonder how much the reviewer knows about the alternatives, but really - I can't imagine it being any better. There just isn't any point. Not a superlative, it is a simple product just very made well. Had it wrapped around barbells, dumbells, EZ-bars, even kettlebell handles and it works like a charm. Nice grip surface, and made of strong rubber/plastic material that hangs on, while being very durable and offers a tiny bit of give so you can really grab hold of it. Useful when you're looking to really blast your arms, especially when you're in the middle ground where you know you can push more but the weight is a bit much, I use these on a slightly lower weight and make the most of the high rep sets (let's be honest, getting the pump through high reps on arms can be tedious and dull to get the work to kick in). Used these on smith machines too. A nice mixer to keep things interesting. It's a bright red, so bear that in mind if you want something low key. But to be honest, it's just a small gadget and the red motivates you to really go for it in the gym. ## Features - Using a grip forces your hands and forearms to maximally contract, which recruits the surrounding muscles ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01M8MOAXM | | Best Sellers Rank | 54,886 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 963 in Strength Training Weights & Accessories | | Brand | Beast Gear | | Brand Name | Beast Gear | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,737 Reviews | | Finish Type | Shiny | | Grip Size | 5 cm | | Grip Type | no knurling | | Grip type | no knurling | | Item Dimensions L x W | 47L x 27.9W centimetres | | Item Highlight | Neck Shoulder Hip Support ,Heavy Duty, Weightlifting, Squat, Cushioned Foam Protection,Weighted Bar Thrust Pads ,Gym Fitness | | Item Weight | 500 Grams | | Item weight | 500 Grams | | Manufacturer | Beast Gear | | Material | Synthetic Rubber | | Mounting Hole Diameter | 5 Centimetres | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | BeastGear3 | | Product dimensions | 47L x 27.9W centimetres | | Speaker cutout diameter or length | 5 Centimetres | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Weight Capacity Maximum | 250 Kilograms | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Beast Gear - **Finish type:** Shiny - **Grip size:** 5 cm - **Grip type:** no knurling - **Item weight:** 500 Grams - **Manufacturer:** Beast Gear - **Material:** Synthetic Rubber - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Speaker cutout diameter or length:** 5 Centimetres - **Weight limit:** 250 Kilograms ## Images ![Barbell Squat Pad, Extra Thick Foam Padding, Secure Hook Loop Fastener - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EGRbpFlJL.jpg) ![Barbell Squat Pad, Extra Thick Foam Padding, Secure Hook Loop Fastener - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Z6AgkED8L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you use on a W-Bar?** A: Yes, I use this on my w bar and it just about fits on it. **Q: Are these for arm workouts only or can they be used for chest and back too?** A: Hello I use it for triceps , biceps, and chest, but you have to know , you can not train heavy, specially for biceps. I would not recommend it for back training. I use it mostly for pumping not heavy and take as many reps as I can. You have to be careful to not stress your wrist. Sincerely David **Q: How thick are these?** A: These are approx 5.7 cm thick All the best, Ben, Beast Gear **Q: My bar is 2.77cm, what is the internal diameter of the hole?** A: 27mm or 2cm and 7mm. On that basis if you are contemplating buying these they should be a great fit. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect product. Recommended. *by M***Y on 4 August 2017* Exactly what they look like.

Very good customer service from Beast Grip. A representative got in touch and offered to send a replacement suggesting that the item I had may be faulty. I thought I would give them another chance, I had nothing to lose. The replacement arrived quickly and the results are much better. It was not slipping anymore and I managed to have a good workout. Only time will tell the long terms results but so far so good. Updating to 4 stars. Will return to give 5 stars if I see better results. Cannot fault their customer service, its very refreshing to see this from a company who truly cares about their products and the views of their customers. -- Did not really work for me. Some bars were already thick enough in the gym (Tricep dips/pull ups) so it does not apply there. Tried using on other barbells and dumbbells and the weight constantly kept slipping. I felt that I did not have a good enough grip to do heavy weights. As an example, with these on, doing a barbell bicep curl, i had to drop the weight by 10KG on my last set to do the exercise properly. I returned it it as being doing OK without them for years, and if it does not allow me to lift heavy then whats the point? ## Frequently Bought Together - Beast Gear - Barbell and Dumbbell Bar Grips for Weightlifting & Muscle Building - Strength Training Equipment - Nutricost Creatine Monohydrate Micronized Powder 500G, 5000mg Per Serv (5g) - 100 Servings, 17.9 Oz - Harbinger Padded Cotton Lift Straps - Soft, Supportive Neotek Wrist Pads - 21.5" Length, 1.5" Width - Reinforced Edges & Heavy-duty Stitching - Cushions Wrists for Lifting Support --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/661569284-barbell-squat-pad-extra-thick-foam-padding-secure-hook-loop](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/661569284-barbell-squat-pad-extra-thick-foam-padding-secure-hook-loop) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-10-28*
