"We love the grips! They give us so much flexibility in our grip training. We can use them on any conventional bar on every exercise that we do. They have added another variable to every exercise in our program here at LSU. Not on are the grips thick but you have to squeeze them as well and this adds to the training stimulus. Your grips are well manufactured and heavy duty.""

"I use the Grip4orce extensively with our wrestlers as an added way to bridge weight room strength into mat strength.
Incorporating Grip4orce training into our pulling movements seems to have carried over very well to our grip strength in regards to wrist control.
Our guys say they have bear traps for hands now!

Pros about the Grip4orce
-Anyone can squeeze the Grip4orce. I think most of the fat grips and fat bars out there are too thick if you have small hands.
-Easy set up: you can easily put it on and take it off barbells, dumbbells, and machines regardless of the size of the handle unlike other similar products.
-Very stable in your hands, doesn't get slippery from sweat.
-Seems to be very durable."

"Grip4orce will be a DIFFERENCE Maker to any program that chooses to use your new grip strength product! In the short time our school has been using Grip4orce, we have noticed a remarkable difference in the grip strength of our athletes. Your product is the best new tool to enter the strength field in many years."

"The Canton McKinley Football program could not be more impressed with Grip4orce. We are always looking for an edge, and in a game that is played with your hands and requires great strength, Grip4orce provides it. Our guys get jacked-up about the pump they feel in their forearms, biceps, and triceps; and if the guys feel it, you know they'll use it! "

"Grip4orces are one of the best training tools I've ever tried and I doubt I'll ever take them out of my gym bag. I don't think there's a better, more efficient way to train the forearms and grip. You don't need a bunch of accessory or isolation exercises—you need Grip4orces."

"I'm a HUGE believer of training your grip when it comes down to getting yourself stronger and more athletic. It's an often overlooked component of training both for athletes and non-athletes. I was hooked the first time I used the Grip 4orce thick grips for farmer walks. My other favorite movements to use the thick grips with are all of the different pull up variations there are and oddly enough, military presses. Now, I've got all of my athletes and clients using them and will continue to do so. What I love best about the gripers is that their easy to add to pretty much any movement you want as well as the fact that you have to keep your grip tight through the whole exercise. This really teaches the importance of squeezing the bar and keeping tension on your grip throughout the whole movement. Bottom Line - get your grip stronger = YOU get stronger!
Thanks Grip4orce for having an awesome product! "

"After using the G4's for an entire week I could feel like I was getting a forearm workout in all my lifts and additionally increased the grip strength on all machines and equipment. Furthermore it felt nice to think I had my own grips for every machine I used. The G4's are a great efficient and inexpensive way to get the best grip and forearm training available without having to worry about having to have an additional separate forearms and grip workout since they already provide all those benefits. The additional benefit you get with the G4's is an amazing forearm pump. Throughout the entire time I was using the G4's I felt my forearms exploding with blood which was an outstanding feeling. I would highly recommend the G4's to anyone looking to increase their grip and forearms strength and get all the extra benefits that come with the G4's"

"I have tried other thick bar sleeves and find that Grip4orce is the best on the market today. That fact that the finger flexors has to provide force to close the grip4force has two consequences – a tremendous strengthening effect AND clear feed back when the fingers fail to provide the necessary force and you can feel the grip4force open."

"I am a big fan of thick bars and thick grip work. For whatever reason, grabbing heavy things with the "Raptor Grip" and struggling to keep the hand on the weight seems to make people a better athlete. The problem has been for many of us is that this means buying another bar. One year, I had four bars in my home gym and my wife noted that "this seems a lot for one person training." So, of course, I asked her to join in! So, G4s are an inexpensive way to turn your barbell, kettlebell or dumbbell (or Pull Up bar, too) into a new kind of training tool. It is handy enough to take to the gym, too, if you don't have a home facility. Let's look at my recent notes on them: "Well, we added them to two things: Kettlebells and Pull Ups. For the guys prepping for the RKC snatch test, I decided that they needed to work their technique and the G4s were perfect for this. The challenge really cleaned up their movement. With the Pull Up bar, this was actually a better idea as a lot of my trainees now are middle aged (which seems to be anything over 25!) and this is stopping what I call MAPS (Middle Aged Pull Up Syndrome). It is a simple thing to add, but it stops the elbows from barking. Two theories: one, the bigger grip is "good" for the elbow somehow, and, two, the Pull Up can't be done anyway save in a controlled tense pull...limiting the issues with the elbow. So, so far, nothing but a thumbs up from me." So, from me...I have nothing but positive things to say about the G4."

"We know that using a crushing grip creates irradiation. But this was something so much different than crushing a KB handle or a thick bar. The grips actually work back against you - almost like wrestling. Here's what happened: My rows, although light, felt effortless. I was way more grounded and could actually feel that my whole body was working because of the increased grip work. I could actually feel my upper muscles working more... efficiently. More than ever before. Not necessarily harder, but more efficiently. The next day, I woke up and as the day progressed, my upper back got more and more sore, which was surprising because the weight was so light. Must've been using more of the right muscles - that whole efficiency thing - than normal. I'm going to be implementing these routinely in the New Year.
Bottom line: I REALLY like the G4 - much better than FatGripz sure, FatGripz are easier, which is why I like the G4 - makes you do more work so I can see how you'd get more benefit. I would recommend these to everybody. "

"Grip4orce is a fantastic product that takes thick bar training to a new level. The principle of overcursh is used to create extra force in order to achieve simple movements like deadlift and pull ups and the attachments can also be used on kettlebells, clubs, dumbbells and farmers walk. It is like adding a mini pair of hand grippers to your training device that guarantees you will get a grip of steel! "

"The ability to cultivate true power comes when you complete the circuit of tightness and strength that exists from the hand and radiates to the rest of the body. The G4 grips are unmatched at getting this accomplished without taking anything away from the rest of training and sport. Athletes, if you want to crush your opponents you first need to crush the bar."

"I began incorporating Grip4orce into my training 13 weeks ago. Since my training is devised into 12 week blocks I wanted to see exactly how they would work if I spent a full 12 weeks using them. I’ll never forget the first time I used them. I put them on 25 lbs dumbells and thought I was going to drop them on my toe. It was a real eye opener to how weak my grip was. I used the grips that workout, and noticed I didn’t need to do the myriad number of sets I usually have to do to warm up my elbows too, hmm..some bicep activation maybe? At the end of the session, my fists were literally closed shut and my bis were completely loaded full of blood. As I kept using the grips my grip and my biceps got stronger and stronger. I don’t give a rat’s ass about how much I curl, but I was doing 30-40 more pounds on barbell curls by the end of the 12 weeks. I also put the grips around ropes, and used them for pushdowns, along with around a barbell for skullcrushers. I can’t begin to tell you how awesome my tricep pumps were. I have all my athletes using these now, and I plan on continuing to use them as the results have exceeded my expectations. This is an awesome product."

"After realizing just how big of an impact the G4 handles were having on my thumb strength, I have begun including them in my workouts every single week. I have found that using the Grip4orce handles with normal Dumbbell Bicep Curls hits the grip extremely well. Since using them, I have seen improvement in my Grippers, Pinch, and Open Hand grip strength, so they are going to remain a major part of my training."

"When I first saw the Grip4orce products I thought, 'Good idea.' When I tried the Grip4orce products I said, 'This could be useful and fun.' I believe I was correct on both assessments and our trainees have been challenged by the use of adding what one could term their active hand and forearm involvement during many standard barbell and dumbbell movements. A direct and useful innovation."

"I’m a big advocate in the ol’ saying “every cent counts” well Grip4orce are like another cent that you can add to your back account. The best thing I love about the Grip4orce and why I only use them at my private training facility is because they create tension by accident. As soon as you grab the bar with a Grip4orce in your hand you immediately feel tension radiate up your arms and into your shoulder and entire body this results in a stronger and safer lift "
