Yes. One of the main uses for gym grips is to prevent painful rips or tears while you’re lifting, doing gymnastics, or cross-training.
Gym Hand Grips
Built for athletes who want to train harder, recover faster, and protect their hands without sacrificing performance. Gym grips are designed to keep you locked in, protected, and focused through every rep—because there’s nothing more distracting than ripping a callus in the middle of your set.
Better Protection for Better Performance
Hand grips prevent rips, calluses, and slipping; distractions that can get in the way of your training. When you’re not worrying about drops or slips, you can focus completely on your set. Engineered from durable, high-grade materials, our gym grips keep your hold secure even during your more demanding workouts. With better grip and more control, you can train longer, recover faster, and perform at your peak in every session.
Key Benefits of Using Gym Grips
Superior Grip Support: Stay locked to the bar during pull-ups, muscle-ups, and your heaviest lifts.
Durable Construction: Durable double-stitched rubber is built to endure high-intensity workouts.
Versatile Training Tool: Lightweight and flexible enough for cross-training, grippy and durable enough for powerlifting.
Palm Rip Protection: Prevents calluses from ripping, so there’s nothing to hold you back from training hard.

FAQs – Gym Grips
Will gym grips prevent my palms from ripping?
Do I need to use chalk with gym grips?
You don’t need to use chalk with your Gymreapers grips; both sides of the rubber are textured to grip the bar and your hand at the same time.
How do I size for a lifting grip?
The sizing of Gymreapers grips is based on your wrist size. Follow the sizing guide for each grip variation to ensure a proper fit.
What are the best grips for powerlifting?
The Gymreapers rubber lifting grips are excellent to use as powerlifting grips.
How do I use weightlifting grips?
Secure the wrist strap snugly, hold the grip in your hand, and wrap the grip around the bar or rings for a locked-in, confident hold.
How should lifting grips fit?
The wrist strap should be snug, but not tight enough to interfere with circulation. The grip pad surface should cover your palm to prevent friction ripping during weightlifting sets.
