Very few women use Fat Gripz, and I’m supposing this is because they think this device will give them big forearms.
I want big forearm muscles and have not been able to get them using Fat Gripz.
Maybe I’m not using this device often enough, but you need not use Fat Gripz often if you simply want to increase your grip strength.
Why Fat Gripz Will Not Make a Woman’s Forearms Huge
The muscles that control your hand grip are in the forearm.
These are small thin muscles. Do you realize just how difficult it is to make naturally small thin muscles big?
This is why many men struggle to blow up their forearms.
I have a very strong grip. I never use gloves or straps for pulling exercises, and can deadlift 215 with either an overhand grip or an underhand grip.
I put Fat Gripz on a 135 pound barbell that’s racked on the lower pegs of a bench press station.
I stand over the bar, then grasp the blue devices and lift the bar off the pegs and hold for several seconds. NO mixed grip.
I alternate between an overhand and underhand grip for several sets.
This is exceedingly difficult for a woman to do. I’m sure that most men pulled off the street wouldn’t be able to lift 135 pounds this way even a millimeter off the pegs.
However, this exercise has done nothing for forearm hypertrophy.
Maybe if I add Fat Gripz to my rows I’ll start seeing forearm hypertrophy, but I doubt these muscles will ever develop Popeye proportions.
Women should incorporate Fat Gripz into their regimen to increase their grip strength.
These devices are advertised as a means to make one’s forearms big.
But I seriously doubt that a woman has to worry about getting huge unsightly forearms from this ingenious tool.
