Check the fit before you buy ↓

Know your setup

Measure your handle. Find the right fit.

Outer diameter
2″
Inner diameter
1″
Length
4″

The inner opening is 1 inch and each sleeve is 4 inches long. Check both the diameter and usable length of your handle. Bar sizes and shapes vary, so compatibility is not universal.

Make familiar training feel different

Start light. Keep the movement controlled.

Use Thick Grips for thick-handle variations of familiar lifts, such as dumbbell curls and rows. Treat the wider handle as a new setup and adjust your load accordingly.

  1. Check that your equipment matches the dimensions and the sleeve sits securely on the handle.
  2. Begin with a lighter load than you normally use. Check your grip and the fit before starting a set.
  3. Keep each rep controlled. End the set if your grip or the sleeve’s position becomes unstable.
Thick Grips

Choose the right tool

Two ways to change your grip training.

Thick Grips

Sleeves that sit over compatible handles to make the gripping surface wider. Use them with suitable equipment you already own.

Hanging Monkee Grips

Separate grips that attach to a suitable anchor for hangs, rows and other training. Original, Black and Level 2 refer to that product range.

Before you add them to your gym bag

Will these fit every bar or dumbbell?

No. The inner opening is 1 inch, with a sleeve length of 4 inches. Check your handle’s diameter, shape and available gripping space before ordering. A secure fit matters more than the equipment’s name.

Do I need Original or Level 2 Monkee Grips?

No. Thick Grips are sleeves for compatible handles and work independently of the hanging Monkee Grips range.

Should I use my normal training weight?

Start lighter while you get used to the wider handle. Choose a load you can control throughout the set and stop if your hold or the fit becomes unstable.

Is a bar or dumbbell included?

No. This is the Thick Grips accessory. The exercise equipment pictured is shown to demonstrate the setup and is sold separately.

Bring a wider grip to your next workout.
