So, I just received my new set of Fat Grips. I bought them at Fitworks in Fredericton. There were two sizes to choose from. I started with the regular size. Available also is a larger size.
Fat Grips are sold in an attractive industrial-like black plastic wrapper that urges the new owner to log-on to the Fat Grip website for tips. The website is pretty good.
Fat Grips smell neat and are soft and pliable. They install quickly and easily onto the handles of most exercise equipment.
They fit well to handles that are long enough. I found a couple of cable handles in the gym that were two short to accommodate the Fat Grips.
I blasted out a few Dumbbell Arm Curls with the Fat Grips to see how they felt. They were OK. They were supposed to really crank my forearms. I honestly didn't feel anything like that after a set of arm curls. Maybe too early to tell.
I tried the Fat Grips on the bench press next. They made for an interesting change but didn't really seem to make for more effective presses.
Then I tried the Fat Grips on the Lat Pulldown machine. This worked better. The pulling nature of this exercise forced my fingers to really clench onto the Fat Grips.
I'll keep experimenting with the Fat Grips but my first experience leads me to believe that they would be most effective on pulling-type exercises.
