Gym Lifting Grips – Premium Non-Slip Grip Pads with Wrist Support

Lifting Grips – Grip Pads with Neoprene Wrist Support

The Gym Generation lifting grips are grip pads with a non-slip rubber pad (around 13 cm long, up to 9 cm wide) and an integrated neoprene wrist cuff (around 19 × 7.5 cm, 7 mm padding) that you fasten around your wrist with the hook-and-loop closure. The pad tightens under load and reinforces your grip, the cuff supports the wrist, and the shape protects your palm from friction. As gym grips they combine grip aid, wrist support and hand protection in one piece, on and off in seconds, with no wrapping. All black with a tonal logo. One size, sold as a pair.

Built for heavy pulling: deadlifts, lat pulldowns, pull-ups, rows, shrugs, rack pulls and Romanian deadlifts. Wherever grip strength tires before the back does, the grips take over the hold. From Gym Generation, part of our own training kit since 2013. Shipped from Switzerland.

Maximum Grip Through the Non-Slip Pad

On heavy pulling movements, grip strength often tires before the target muscle does – sweaty hands and tired forearms force you to end the set before your back or hamstrings are anywhere near done. The roughly 13 cm non-slip rubber pad tightens under load, spreads the weight across your palm and holds on barbells, cable attachments and pull-up bars. That keeps the focus on the muscle instead of the grip, and gets you more repetitions out of every set.

Neoprene Wrist Support With 7 mm Padding

The neoprene cuff, around 19 × 7.5 cm with 7 mm of padding, wraps around your wrist and adds hold on heavy sets. It spreads the pressure evenly so the hook-and-loop strap never digs in, giving a stable, cushioned feel without pressure points. The strap runs through tonal black metal clips that lock it securely and give the cuff a clean, well-made look.

Ergonomic Shape That Protects Your Hands

The shape follows the palm, takes strain off the fingers and protects against friction, pressure points and blisters. Instead of dealing with calluses or torn skin, you concentrate on the lift.

On Fast, Off Fast

No awkward wrapping like classic lifting straps: put them on, close the strap, pull. Released just as quickly between sets – ready for the next heavy set straight away.

Blackout Design With a Tonal Logo

The lifting grips are all black, from the rubber pad through the neoprene cuff to the metal clips. The Gym Generation logo sits tonal in dark grey on pad and closure, visible but restrained. For anyone who prefers gear without colour accents.

Gym Grips for Heavy Back Training

As gym grips and grip pads, the lifting grips come out wherever the grip gives up before the target muscle: on heavy rows, at the lat pulldown, on shrugs and rack pulls. They take the grip out of the equation, so you feel the last repetitions in your back rather than your forearms. If you want to train grip strength deliberately, run the first sets without and reach for the grips only on the heavy sets.

Lifting Grips – Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between lifting grips, straps and gym gloves?
Classic lifting straps are wrapped around the bar, gloves mainly protect the skin. Lifting grips combine both plus wrist support: you place the pad between hand and bar, it tightens under load and reinforces the grip – with no wrapping, and with protection for palm and wrist. If you only want hand protection, gym gloves or grip pads are the better pick.

What sets the lifting grips apart from the power grips?
The lifting grips have a shorter but wider pad and a noticeably thicker wrist cuff with 7 mm neoprene, plus the all-black design throughout. The power grips have a longer pad with more contact area along the bar. If you want maximum pad length, take the power grips; if you prefer the stronger wrist support and the tonal look, take these.

Are the grips suitable for beginners and advanced lifters?
Yes, for every level. The benefit is greatest on moderate to heavy weights, high repetition counts and at the pull-up bar. Beginners gain a better hold and less discomfort in the hands, advanced lifters more load and intensity.

Do the pads hold with sweat or chalk?
Yes. The grip pad grips harder under pressure and holds with sweaty hands, chalk and damp bar handles – including on stainless steel, chrome and powder-coated bars. Even in high humidity the grip stays stable.

Does the grip pad wear down over time?
The pad is built for intensive, repeated training. With frequent heavy use the surface can become slightly smoother over time, but the hold stays functional. Hard-wearing material and reinforced construction give it a long life.

Are the lifting grips suitable for men and women?
Yes. They come in one size and adjust to any wrist via the hook-and-loop closure, for men and women alike.

How do I clean the lifting grips?
Wipe them down after training or wash them cold by hand and let them air dry, not on a radiator. That keeps the neoprene and the grip pad in shape.
