Are there any other products you'd like me to review?
You only used one grip the whole time?? U know u can put the flap under the bar, so the dowel is in ur hand...
@@ryanshiroky8474 are you referring to using the flaps during pressing exercises? If so, I address that in the video.
What gloves do you recommend to avoid tearing your hands up? I have a good grip, but my skin just isn’t a fan.
You should review the inaka straps that are that style and compare them
Please give a link of your adjustable dumbbells
I’m a figure bodybuilder. I’ve had the same verse grips pro for 11 years and am finally getting another pair. When bench pressing with them, simply reverse the gloves to the other side of your wrist, and now they are only wrist support. I’ve done dead lifts with these for YEARS. The older they get the better they are for dead lifts.
I agree. They can definitely be used that way but if I'm going to wear wrist support, I'd rather just use wraps.
Thanks for your input ❤ I rarely have to use straps so it's nice to know they will last a long time
Better cobra or versa ?
Why would you use them for pressing movements? Makes no sense
@@BitLeg exactly. People love accessories for the sake of accessories. Probably dips in them too.
This is what I call a complete review. I got all my Qs answered. I wish all reviews on the Tube was as professional as this one! Thanks!
I'm glad is was helpful for you!
I've had these for around 5 years myself and just got a new pair, the velcro finally started to dull. Cant complain after consistent use for that long, was a no brainer to buy a new pair.
I definitely agree. I try to use them as little as possible so I don't harm my grip strength, but they're amazing when I do use them.
I've had mine since 2014/2015, And I use them for a lot pushing and pulling exercise, not just deadlifting which they are a staple in my workout gear for that. That are just as effective today as they were 9-10 years ago. These things are durable AF and will stand the test of time.
Same. I got mine around the same. I don't like them for pushing exercises but use them for some pulling exercises. They've lasted forever. The only way these things are ever going to wear out is when the Velcro eventually wears out.
This video helped convince me to get the Pros, and to size down since I was on the border. Both great choices, thank you!
Happy to help!
Just bought some Versa Gripps Classic. Used them for the 1st time today, they worked perfectly.
Love it! Glad you liked them.
Great review. Thanks! I've had a Pro pair for two years now and very pleased with them. I'm also cursed with small wrists (7½") but, to me, the R/L fit is fine. They're not meant to be tight fitting, so you can quickly swivel them out of the way to load a bar, etc. The looser fit may feel a bit disconcerting at first if you're only used to traditional straps. I first used them on a 1RM deadlift and had visions of the straps sliding down onto my hands. As soon as the load came on they felt solid and you knew they weren't going to slip. Whenever someone tries them for the first time I reassure them on this point. Some pretty big dudes (≈8½" wrists) have used them and still had plenty of overlap on the Velcro although obviously they should opt for a bigger size if buying their own. The only other thing I would add is that wrapping the tongue around a 35mm bar is a little fiddly. So if you use them on a Smith machine you'll take a bit longer to get them in place.
Great insight! I did consider that. Maybe I just prefer them tighter than they intended.
awesome review! this video is so well shot btw. really like the grip tracking shot in the beginning.
I'm glad the review was helpful for you. Thanks for the compliment! It took a very long time to get those clips. Lol
Most of your annoyances with the product seem to be lack of “natural feel” or connection with the bar while lifting. I feel like this is something that re-develops over time, with use, as your brain relearns that connection (same with lifting gloves.) It would be similar to someone not used to wearing shoes suddenly wearing shoes and it feeling strange. I think it’s a great product. Wrist support and being able to focus on a muscle group more confidently because of not losing focus on making sure your grip strength stays adequate is a no-brainer to me. Great product. I will agree that having a simple set of wrist straps in your gym bag as well as these is a smart choice.
Interesting perspective! Thanks for sharing!
On pulling movements you actually don’t wanna strap em tight, they have a video showing how to probably use em.
I appreciate you providing that tip for anyone reading the comments!
I bought the Classic and had to return them. Couldn’t get the flap around the bar. Too short. Ordered the Pro.
The pro is definitely the way to go!
Love your reviews, my man. How well do you think these would work for snatch grip lifts? I just lost one of my lifting straps(lasso) and planning to get a new pair. Since I'm going to have to buy one any way I was thinking if should try these out. But they look like they would keep sliding inwards when I'm doing high pulls with my hands literally gripping from collar to collar on the barbell. Thanks in advance.
Sorry it took so long to respond! I appreciate the support! As for using with snatches, I'm not sure. I don't do those so I don't have any experience with it. Give it a try 🤷♂️💪🏼
How long have they lasted/are you still using them
I don't even remember when I got them at this point. I think it was 2015 maybe. I am still using them but I only use them when I really need to so I'm not sacrificing my grip strength. I use them maybe once per week.
I've had mine for 20 years and they're completely beat up, but can still be used! Time for a fresh pair :)
Thanks, I needed to see whether I should size down.
I hope this helped!
2:05 "I didn't like having the rubber in between my hand and the..." lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
$10 versa grip bag or for $4 90 Ziploc Sandwich Bags mmhhhmm think ill do zip lock. Great video tho btw, actual honest review by some1 who used the produce for years instead of 10 hours. Thanks for explaining the sizing and different versa gripps wasnt sure which size or type to get.
Happy to help! I would caution you against using plastic bags though. If you sweat in these, then put them in a plastic bag (or something else that can't breathe), they will STINK.
@@RyanTreadaway Good point didnt think about that. I was just joking around tho!
@@glendreesen4934 no worries. Lol just wanted to be sure. I wanted to save you from that horrible experience. Lol
@@RyanTreadaway Appreciate it!XD
Happy to help!
Thankyou, I'll keep using my old tried and true straps for deadlifts
Happy to help!
Great review. Have you tried the newer Versa Extremes? I’m undecided which version to get.
Thanks! I haven't tried he Extremes. I know the Pro's are great already so it's a tough call to know if the extremes would be worth the extra money.
thank you for the information sir. answered all my questions
I'm glad the video was helpful!
Yea these seem great for everything but heavy deadlift imo you nailed it, I didn't like them the first time, I just don't feel as secure and deadlift is such a mental lift that it matters a lot. Also versa grips recommends looser fit, but idk seems like preference
Sorry, I can't share my secrets 😂
So what's the difference between the Pro and Classic gripps? Can't find any info on it anywhere lol
The pro are way better. Lol I made this review several years ago so I don't remember the exact differences but I'm pretty sure the classic doesn't have as good of grip.
@@RyanTreadaway Awesome, thanks for the reply! Just put in an order for the Pro's, can't wait to get my hands on them lol
Just the review I needed!!
Glad it was helpful!
Being on the low end of one of the sizes, your advice to size down is a big help (assuming it holds true :) ). Just the info I was looking for...thank you!
I'm glad the video was helpful for you!
@@RyanTreadaway Thank You!
@@jake8836 happy to help! Are you going to purchase the gripps?
I am thinking about it, so i could better buy the small version (15.2 - 17.8 cm) instead of the large (18.1 - 20.3)? my wrist size is 17.5-18 cm
@@jake8836 I'd definitely go with the smaller option.
An excellent review- you clearly answered pretty much every thing i had in mind about getting it. The only bit where you lost me is about buying the VersaGrip bag to protect those...10 bucks? No way man. Put it in a separate pocket if your gym bag has those or...any regular cheapo canvas bag for that matter . That company overprices enough as it is without cashing in more for their cute little bag :D BUt to each their own...good job still!
Fair enough. Lol you can get the bag or not. The grips are amazing though. I still have mine 10 years later.
@@RyanTreadaway sure sounds like an investment . Definitely might get a pair of those , also you made a good point about the pro being a little more but better for long-term.
Great review. Very helpful.
Thank you!
Will I look like an idiot if I wear this for lat Pulldowns? Or is it meant more for deadlifts?
I see people use these for lat pulls all the time. I would recommend using them only when necessary though so that you don't weaken your grip strength.
Would the versa gripps help with holding heavy dumbbells during lunges or would it be better to go with something with a hook like the secure your grip straps?
That's an excellent way to use the dumbbells. They're great for that purpose.
Yup the info show about size down kinda got to me, cause now their like $80.00 now.
Oh wow. Still worth it in my opinion. I've had mine for like 8ish years now.
Just received mine 👌👍 money well spent thankyou.
@@user-xy4hn9fk8l glad you like them!
I'm looking at getting this because i keep tearing my callous doing pull ups. would this help that?
Definitely! The grips will take the load instead of your palms.
Is it worth it to buy the Versa Gripps Pro?@12:50
You’re welcome 🙂
😂😂😂😂😂 that's hilarious! Lol
Ryan Treadaway lol 😂
My wrists are 6’1 inches (I got tiny wrist lol), you think I should get the extra small or the small?
I don't remember the size chart of the top of my head. If you're in between sizes, I would personally size down.
Please tell me that sizing chart only refers to wrist sizes.
What do you mean?
@@RyanTreadaway I fear it also refers to peepee size designations
😂😂😂 wrists only.
Whew!
@@ParkerBG 😅
Yes is the answer.
Yes, is the answer. Lol
Hi my wrists are bang on 7 inches ,whick size should i buy? Thanks
I don't remember the size chart off the top of my head. if you're in between sizes, I'd size down.
Dude you curled mustache throw me out of the video. LOL
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? haha
Is it soft on the palms tho? Will it provide some padding?
It provides a bit of padding, yes.
Which size to order if my wrist is 6.6 inch? Should I go with X small?
I don't remember the size chart of the top of my head. If you're in between sizes, I would personally size down.
anyexperience of fellow small handed and "wristed" gym rats on the fit vs. pro, vs. xtreme?
Sorry, I can't help. I've only ever used these (and I love them)
Just ordered these, my forearms have been hurting and I think I’m getting forearm tendinitis
I hope this helps!
Great review. New subscriber.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
How heavy can you realistically deadlift in these? I would be concerned about the Velcro bursting open
Unsure to be honest. Since I'm a power lifter I always deadlift with chalk since you can't use straps in competition. I have used them before on deadlift years ago. I think I've gone over 500 lb with them.
Thanks, I’m not a power lifter but I somewhat regularly hit 220kg and I always use figure 8s. I’ve tried a cheaper version in the past and it just felt unsafe
How about Versa Gripps vs. figure 8 straps?
I’ve never used figure 8 straps but I do LOVE the Versa Gripps.
Nice review
Thanks!
Versa grips look pretty n all I bought these and nah I don’t feel it as effective as the normal wraps
Why do you feel they're less effective?
Will these work well to prevent calluses?
I would say they'll help but if you workout to any significant degree, you'll likely end up with calluses, even if using grips or gloves.
Are they also sticky on rubber or just on iron?
They are. It's not so much them being stick on the bar/grip you're holding. It's them looping back into your hand and being sticky on your hand that helps.
@@RyanTreadaway Sounds interesting, hard to imagine... Thanks for answering!
@@robin5088 happy to help!
any ideas if the versa gripp xterme is really any better than the pro?
I have not used them personally. There's more stitching with the Xtreme, so I assume the weight capacity is higher. I've never had an issue with the pros though.
If you size down, would it be harder to wrap around since the strap would be shorter?
My my wrist size, the strap is too long. It wraps partially in front of my hand. Sizing down would help prevent that. If you're at the very top end of the range for a size, maybe don't size down. If you're around halfway or lower in the size range, I'd consider sizing down.
@@RyanTreadaway my wrists are 7”. The top strap on the Smalls only cover half the Velcro
I’m
@@RyanTreadaway my wrists are 7”. The top strap on the Smalls only cover half Velcro on the bottom. Gonna try the Large.
@@warrenhoffman653 hopefully, that'll work better for you.
supposedly you're not even meant to tighten these down too much. There should be enough slack in them for you to comfortable be able to spin them around your wrist without too much resistance
Hmm never heard that!
Never once mentioned that it lets you lift heavier
I talk about that about a minute into the video.
How do these compare to other brands like jerkfit?
To be honest, I've never really used another brand. I bought these in 2014 and loved them so I never wanted to try another pair. I've been using the same pair for 10 years now.
sick mustache dude!
Thanks my friend!
Could they be used as wrist support?
They definitely can be but I personally do not like to use them for that purpose because you'll have the flap hanging off.
can you use hookgrip with these?
It seems like it'd put a lot more stress on your thumb because the flap would be pulling against it.
Can you add timestamps?
I'll work on that!
Trying to decide between these or the cobra grips.
I don't have hands-on experience with the cobra grips. It's been a long time since I made this video so I don't remember what the reason was but I ultimately decided that the versa gripps were better when making my purchasing decision.
Good job, thanks!
Happy to help my friend!
I second you with the sizing!
Yes! Oh well. They're close enough. It'd suck if my wrist was 7 1/8 though.
@@RyanTreadaway Both my wrist are 7 inches on the dot. Should I get the small ones?
Add chapters! I cant find what i need.
It's not THAT long of a video. lol
Does any1 have the problem where the pads tear your skin around your wrist?
I haven't ever had this issue. Have you been wearing wrist straps for a long time or are you new to wrist straps?
@@RyanTreadaway I've used leather straps before these. But I am wearing them for 10-30minutes
I've not had that issue. Do you have them too tight or too loose?
@@RyanTreadaway I put them on snug but they dont feel uncomfortable. (Like cutting off blood or anything. ) thanks for the reply back btw appreciate the advice
I've not had that issue. Just try playing with the tightness.
Wait a second first lets talk about that mustache
I hope that's a compliment. Haha
I hate that I like these so much. They are expensive and the knockoffs are simply not as good. I am a bit of a skater brain and always wind up setting them down and forgetting them. They are too big to stuff in a pocket and I don’t carry enough around for a gym bag. I can’t tell you how many I’ve lost. I’m not sure why they are so hard to replicate because they have been around forever but the others are just simply not as good. So I am off to order my future lost pair.
I would recommend just carrying a small basketball type shoe bag so you don't lose them. Get a Tile or other GPS tracker that will notify you if you go to far away from your bag. lol
I cant stop staring at that statche
I will take that as a compliment. 😂
That's a nice intro you have there. 😉
Thanks! A beautiful woman followed me around the gym and recorded me. :P lol
@@RyanTreadaway whoa, I'm jealous! 😄
@@tracidean3692 😆😆😆😆😆
I don't think they are expensive. If they last 10 years, the price is 6,4 dollar a year, 0,017 dollars per day.
I agree. That's the way I look at items like this. It's an investment to me. That said, it still is a somewhat large upfront cost, especially in comparison with standard lifting straps.
75$ for straps?! Am I struggling to see the value in this because I feel like this is a 20$ product at best and I see no one else complaining
No one is complaining because theyre the best. Lol
Fell into the trap of using these things along with straps years back. Totally not needed. Train properly and work your forearms if you want a stronger grip. Very few folks use em at the gym I go to. And that includes the power lifters. if you need a better grip, use chalk.
or you could train forearms seperately? purpose of the straps are so that you can take your back muscles closer to failure before your forearms gives up.
@@gszxc
Not trying to be a smartass, but. Can’t imagine what the old fellas did back in the day. You know.
The 1’s with the huge backs and traps.
@@bobbyt6987 are they on gear? 💀
I wish the flap was made out of leather instead of rubber.
Why is that? This material is superior to leather for the purposes of grip.
Where are you from? I know that accent. 👀
Alabama my friend!
@@RyanTreadaway I’m in Tennessee. My first husband was from Alabama. 😂
Small world! I actually worked in Chattanooga for a while.
I was actually taking your review seriously until....the mustache
Hmm. Didn't know my facial hair had anything to do with the information I was sharing lol Sorry about that.
The mustache looks gross.
Thanks my friend! Glad you like it. 😎
Immediately clicked off when I saw the affiliate link 🤡
Well, I used them for years before I had an affiliate link. So.
Does it provide wrist support?
They do, but like I said, I would probably not use them for pressing. Wrist wraps will still be better because you can wrap above and below the joint to provide more stability. With a strap, you can only have it above the wrist.
