Made from a military-grade, high-density compound, Fat Gripz can instantly transform any standard barbell into an axle bar (thick bar). They also fit most dumbbells, pull-up bars, and cable attachments, – doubling the thickness for a greater test of arm and grip strength. Once attached, Fat Gripz hold to the bar firmly like a clamp, and won't compress – even you're deadlifting extreme loads. Thick bar training has become increasingly popular with athletes and military personnel around the world, and lightweight, portable Fat Gripz enable them to get the benefits of an axle bar wherever they are. From U.S. Special Forces to NFL teams, top MMA fighters, the Grace Barra, and your own local box, you can find dedicated users of the product.

I have had these fat gripz for about a decade and use them a few times a year. Nice to turn some of my basic cable attachments into fat handle attachments. And toss them on dumbbells for some variation.

These take some getting used to but I like that they add an extra grip component to things. They fit on most barbells and dumbbells and can add an extra level of effort for the sole purpose of growing your forearms. You can also use them to help turn regular dumbbells into circus style.

A great option to add grip training to your programming. With the versatility of going on a barbell, set of dumbbells, or even a cable attachment you can take any shaft to the next level of girth. One thing to keep in mind is that the opening for these is only so big so it won't fit on shafts that are over 29-30mm in diameter. That limits my use of these somewhat since they don't fit on my Pepin Fast Series. Even so, it's hard to argue with the price to functionality ratio.

Great for grip training or if you just want to work on squeezing the dumbbells during your accessories. They sometimes get slippery if you’re too sweaty.

An absolute classic for grip training. I remember reading about these on tnation back in like 2008. My only gripe is that the interior diameter is a bit small for most things you'd want to put these on

These are cool for sure. Was gifted these by supporting member Big Curt. They are fun to add in to grip training- if you're into that sorta thing. I also like using them to protect my bands when I am doing deadlifts on my platform. Small knock just because there are cheaper alternatives out there nowadays that do the exact same thing.

I've had several versions of the fat grips and they're all high quality and perform well. They let you adapt normal bar and make it almost like an axel in some instances. These would be a good option for those looking to mix things up without breaking the bank.

These are the classic that we all think of when we say fat grips. Great material and provides a good challenge for typical dumbbell lifts. I do think the fat grip one is a more realistic daily driver for added difficulty, but these are a solid choice as well.
