Why This Bundle

PALM-TO-BAR CONTACT AND WRIST SUPPORT — WITHOUT FULL-GLOVE BULK.

Grip pads offer an open-hand alternative to full gym gloves by placing material only at the palm-to-bar contact point. That keeps the setup compact while allowing direct control and feel. Pair them with wrist wraps for additional training support across pressing, pulling, pull-ups and machine work.

Common Questions

A grip pad is held between the palm and the bar or handle. Unlike a full glove, it leaves more of the hand uncovered and adds less material around the fingers and back of the hand. The main difference is a lighter, more open setup with direct bar feel.

Rubber provides a textured contact surface, leather offers a classic feel, and neoprene provides a softer-feel option at the palm. The 4-loop version fits over more fingers than the 3-loop version.

The pad adds a material layer where the palm meets the bar or handle while keeping the rest of the hand open for direct control and feel.

No. Straps wrap around or connect with the bar to assist bar connection during pulling movements. Grip pads sit between the palm and the bar while your own grip remains in control.
