My staple gym accessory 🫶

If there’s one staple accessory I will always keep with me on my leg days, it’s grips. I went from only being able to hold 45lbs dumbbells in each hand to 70lbs in each hand. Before using grips, I would have to drop the weight in the middle of my set even though my legs could have kept going.

Grips are used when your forearms or wrists tend to give out before your legs do. They also help give you the ability to heavier due to the grips relieving your forearms and writers from pain and cramps.

The two exercises grips are the most useful for are RDL’s and Bulgarian split squats. However they could also be used for other exercises as well, this is just how I personally use them.

There are many grips out there you could buy, however, I bought mine off of Amazon for $40. They’re called the cobra grips and after having them for 2 years, they’re still in tact and work as perfect as they did when I first got them.

Don’t let your grip strength stop you from chasing those gains!
