Steps to Properly Use Weight Lifting Hand Grips
The following steps explain how to properly put on and utilize hand grips, according to Roc Pilon's video tutorial on "How To Use And Wear Lifting Grips".
- Grip Placement:
- Position the grip on your palm with the grip facing upwards.
- Make sure the padding is where it will protect your palm during lifting.
- Strap Looping:
- Take the strap attached to the grip.
- Loop the strap around the barbell or dumbbell.
- Securing the Grip:
- Thread the strap through the loop on the grip.
- Adjust the grip so that it is snug and secure around your wrist.
- Neoprene Feature:
- The grips now come with a neoprene padding.
- This padding is designed to prevent the straps from digging into your wrists, ensuring comfort.
Using weight lifting grips properly allows you to maximize your workout without putting excess strain on your wrists and hands. The video referenced emphasized that the grip should be facing up on the palm and should be properly looped through to be effective.
