How to use thick / fat grips

Slip the MNML Thick Grips onto any bar, dumbbell, or cable accessory to instantly increase grip thickness—boosting forearm activation, grip strength, and muscle recruitment.

Here are some great exercises to use them with:

Biceps & Arm Work

Barbell curls (EZ or straight bar)

Dumbbell curls

Hammer curls

Preacher curls

Concentration curls

Reverse curls

Pulling & Back Exercises

Barbell rows

Dumbbell rows

Pull-ups (wrap fat grips around the bar)

Lat pulldowns

T-bar rows

Shrugs

Cable rows (attach to handle)

Deadlifts & Carries

Conventional or Romanian deadlifts

Trap bar deadlifts

Farmer’s carries

Suitcase carries

Rack pulls

Pushing Exercises (Less Common, but Useful)

Dumbbell bench press (adds wrist/forearm challenge)

Overhead press

Tricep extensions (less typical, but doable)

Bonus: Grip Training Finishers

Static holds (just hold dumbbells with fat grips)

Bar hangs with thick grips

Thick bar towel rows or curls (DIY if needed)
