Versa Gripps How To Use
PUTTING ON PROPERLY
Each pair of Versa Gripps includes a left and right grip. Start with the right grip, which is labeled for clarity just under the wrist pad. With the label facing you, insert the wrist strap through the metal ring, then fit your right hand through the loose loop. Grab the palm piece with your fingers as you tighten down the wrist strap using your left hand. Repeat this process with the left grip.
Your Versa Gripps should fit comfortably around the wrist, allowing you to rotate so that the curvature of the palm piece aligns along your thumb. Do not overtighten.
If you have large hands and find it difficult to fit through the loose wrist strap loop, you can alternatively hold the Versa Gripp and then tighten the wrist strap over your wrist. To do this, lay your Versa Gripp on a flat surface. Place your hand on the grip and secure the palm piece with your fingers. Using your other hand, guide the writs strap through the metal ring and then tighten back over the wrist.
PULLING EXERCISES
For exercises that require grip strength to pull weight like dead lifts, rows or pull-ups, follow this technique.
1. Do not overtighten the wrist strap. Your Versa Gripps should be snug, but still allow for easy rotation around the wrist. Unlike traditional wrist wraps, they should not restrict motion or blood flow.
2. Place the bar between your hand and the palm piece. Using your fingers, pull the palm piece over the bar and tuck it back into your palm.
3. Grasp the bar as you would normally. As you apply pressure the grip will lock onto the bar and you’re ready to pull. The tapered design of the strap will tighten around the wrist during the pulling motion to provide lift assistance.
4. To release the bar, simply loosen your grip and the palm piece will immediately unlock from the bar.
PUSHING EXERCISES
Versa Gripps provide arch support to pad and support the palm for pushing exercises such as bench or overhead presses.
1. Position your Versa Gripps slightly higher on the wrist toward your forearm.
2. Pull the strap tightly around the wrist for added support.
3. With the palm piece lying flat against your hand, position the bar so that it is resting on top of the grip.
4. Grasp the bar as you would normally to perform the push exercise.
