One Size Does Not Fit All. How do I determine the correct size for my wrist? 

To determine the correct size of Versa Gripps that you need, please wrap the tape measure all the way around your wrist (directly over your wrist bone). The size of Versa Gripps is not determined by your hand size but your wrist circumference. Versa Gripps are designed to fit securely (not too tightly)around the base of the weightlifters hand. When worn with a proper fit, the user is able to easily rotate them around to the back of their hand when they are not in use. They are not designed to fit tightly around the wrist while doing a pulling exercise. Versa Gripps will not damage the hands or wrists by over-tightening the way that a strap would. They will not restrict blood flow, movement, nor will they damage nerves. 

Please use this link below to print off a full-size ruler you can cut out and use to measure around your wrist. (See the Picture Below for the Correct Placement of the tape measure around your wrist.) (When printing: do not shrink to fit page width)

It is very important to order the correct size in the style you desire. To do so, take a measurement of the circumference of the bony part of your wrist. Then, go to the style you are interested in and scroll down to the measuring chart. Your wrist size will match up with the correct size you should be wearing. Remember, Versa Gripps are NOT designed to fit tightly around your wrist. They should be secure but in the case of pulling exercises, they should actually be loose enough to land at the base of your hand. When worn correctly, the pressure is not on your wrist but is actually evenly distributed across the base of your hand.

PERFORM A PULLING EXERCISE

When performing a pulling exercise like a dead lift, shrug or chin-up, Versa Gripps are designed to fit securely (not tightly) around the base of the weightlifter’s hand. When worn with the proper fit, the user is able to easily turn the palm piece around to the back of their hand when they are not being used. They are not designed to fit tightly around the wrist while doing a pulling exercise. Versa Gripps will not damage the hands or wrists by over-tightening the way that a strap would. They will not restrict blood flow, movement, nor will they damage nerves. Versa Gripps provide a secure hold onto the weightlifting bar.

With the Versa Gripps standing in front of the palm of your hand, position the lifting bar between your palm and the gripping portion of the Versa Gripp (The palm piece should be on the outside of the bar). Using the tips of the fingers, fold the thicker end of the grip over the top of the weightlifting bar, between the bar and against the palm of your hand. Grasp the weightlifting bar as you would normally. At this point you are locked on and ready to pull.

If you have large hands, the length of the gripping portion is adjustable. Simply loosen the strap around your wrist and allow the end of the palm piece to rest farther up toward the tips of your fingers. This will provide more gripping length to wrap around the bar for weightlifters with larger hands.

If you ratchet down the Versa Gripps very tightly and rub them against the grooves on the bar, over time the stitching will wear out much faster. Simply touch the palm piece to the bar as described above, and you are locked on.

PERFORM A PUSHING EXERCISE

The human hand and foot are anatomically symmetrical. Your feet have arches as well as your hands. Arch supports are important for your feet. They are also necessary for your hands when doing a pushing/pressing exercise. Built into each grip, is an arch support that works like a bridge over the arch of your hand. The arch support is firm and stiff, yet flexible enough to wrap over the weightlifting bar when performing pushing exercises.

The padded wrist closure that attaches the palm piece to the user’s wrists is designed for ease of operation, comfort, safety and support. Position the Versa Gripps farther up on the wrist, then pull the strap tightly around the wrist. Tightening the wrist wrap provides additional wrist support when performing pushing exercises.

With the palm piece of the Versa Gripps lying against the palm of your hand and the weightlifting bar resting on top of the grip, grasp the weightlifting bar as you normally would to perform a pushing exercise.

If you ratchet down the Versa Gripps very tightly and rub them against the grooves on the bar, over time the stitching will wear out much faster. Simply touch the palm piece to the bar as described above, and you are locked on.
