Favourite grips

@linda195 Thirding Velites.
Thanks for the tip about no chalk on the bar. Didn't know that. My grips were slippery last week, didn't understand, know I know why.

@chasingvisions Do they work fine on powder coated bars or just for raw (spealer)

 

[tim71]

@matthew514 They work well on any bar!

@jjmcubbin I have bear komplex but I’ve ordered frog grips after trying a friends,

@jjmcubbin I’ve tried them all.

Everyone at my gym who borrows my Element26 IsoComp grip whips out their phone and buys them on Amazon immediately. You feel magnetized to the bar.

Hear me now, believe me later. Those grips got this 53M into the quarterfinals. Could have never made it through 24.3 without them.

@patona Say hi to the KCF crew for me

@jessicacat580 Bro we miss you.

@patona Yes these grips are ridiculous

 

[virious]

@patona These are the best grips

@patona Looking in Amazon Canada, Element26 Isogrip? Can’t find Isocomp. Pros / cons loops vs none?

 

[patona]

@staffseo No loops is better.

@patona They were good when I first got them but after a few months they’ve totally lost their grip. More just act as a pad for me rather than being sticky like they were when I got them. The first time i wore them I could almost do a strict muscle up they were so sticky, now the sticky has totally gone

 

[patona]

@samkbh63 How often do you clean them? When the ridges on the black surface get filled with dirt, dust, chalk they lose their grip. If you chalk them directly they’ll slip off instantly. The edges of those ridges seem to be what’s causing the grip.

I toss mine in the wash and air dry every month-ish. I always wash them right before a comp.

 

[samkbh63]

@patona Not very often! I’ll put them in the washing machine this week thanks!

@jjmcubbin My bear komplex carbons are fantastic, I’ve had them for months and they look brand new

 

[mindfulb]

@muel89 Yes I have the same ones (no finger holes) been great for me. Got them a size bigger than recommended. Once they go I will try victory and possibly reyllen but my carbons are great

 

[jackienan]

@jjmcubbin I love Reyllen Bumblebee. Used to use bear komplex and they ripped on me.

@jjmcubbin I love my frog grips.

@jannylove I've seen so many videos of dislocations because they are so long they wrap over themselves so the person goes to dismount and one wrist is still attached to the rig. Thumbs, wrists, shoulders

 

[jannylove]

@pjc Frog grips don’t wrap over themselves.
