how big do your hands need to be for fat gripz extreme?

The grips work pretty well. Honestly, whenever I use them for any pull movement (curls, pullups, lat pull down, seated row etc.) they work my firearms more than what the specific exercise was designed for. Which isn't necesarilly a bad thing as long as you're aware of it. When my hands are fully stretched out, from mthe tip of my index finger to the tip of my thumb is about 7 inches. Ke eping thiw size in mind, they work just fine for me.

I don't put my thumbs around the bar anyway so all I am doing is pushing against a bigger object and my triceps love it. I have gotten stronger using these and regular fat gripz and then regular straight bar for change. All of them work. a great product. It works. I cycle it for a contest. I compete in bench only bench press meets internationally.

the whole idea is to have a wide to hold on to.i think it does not matter how big your hands are....

my hands are 9" thumb to middle finger. I cannot fully wrap around the grip, that's also not its intent. these grips simply reduce the surface area so other muscles need to work harder. your lifts will be lighter of course, but the benefit is improving strength in other areas. these also are not a go to everyday addition to your workout, so size is a no issue Imo.

Average size. That's the size of my hands. I can handle just about any exercise with extreme fat grips, except pull ups. I have to work my way up to that. LS

I don't think you need big hands. my hands are average size and can use these. I recommend starting simple with dumbbells and then when your strength increases use the barbell. using the barbell first increases the chance of losing your balance. hope I could help

about 2" and hand tight, then just a tad more! Use some BLUE Loctite just for piece of mind! And because my husband said so! Boris sets up all my guns!! C.

I use a size large. "Bunching" on the grips can be a problem, I would think going to small would be more uncomfortable. The place on the grips your fingers go through can get very tight. If your size ends up too small the grips will be uncomfortable. Also the Velcro that goes around the wrist gives a little bit of variance in the size. Like I said before I would go with a little larger than smaller, that would be my preference.

Apprx. 7" long x 2" wide, less than a half pound, comfortable grip for most

These grips are pretty wide. The grip surface area is about 4 1/2 inches, not including the bar end portion. You should be good. Be careful when you tighten the bolt that secures the barend, I snapped it off and had buy another set of grips. The other Ergon grips were different and smaller, the GP2 was much wider as I mentioned above

If you mean oversize vs. standard, I believe it is standard size, you will love the grips!

Probably 4 1/4 grip, standard width 105? (i have oversize). 27" ... I'm 5' 8". I use 4 1/8 grip. But it's real light. A solid racket.

My hand fits a men's L glove (14 inches). The grip in the center fills my whole hand. Each button is about 3/4th inch square. It is about 6 inches wide at the widest points, and about 9 inches long.

Measure your hand around the knuckles at the base of your fingers. Hope this helps (-:

I assume you're asking about grip size. I'd say an average size man's hand would use the 4 3/8 in grip and an average woman's perhaps an eighth of an inch less. If in doubt, get the smaller size and you can always add an overgrip on top of that to make it a little bigger. There have been articles in recent years that the pros are trending toward smaller grips. E.g., I understand Rafael Nadal uses a 4 1/4 inch grip.

I have average size hands and I selected the Large. I don't see any advantage to a smaller size as I don't ride (I ride on the road) with a death grip on the bars anyway. I usually ride with my palms on the flat and a loose grip. I notice that the Large is all that's showing as available now anyway.

I think, if anything, it would give a better result. The Fat Gripz that people attach to dumbbell bars make the bar thicker, and dramatically alter the way the bar works the forearm. So gloves (or wrapping them in tape) would make the bars thicker and probably harder to work.Currently I'm using the ProHands gripmaster...and its too weak, I found one of these at the nearest used sporting goods store, along with a pair of Fat Gripz...unfortunately this is too strong.

The Ergorest grip is ~4.2 cm long, so since you have ~3.5 cm it's not ideal but should still be usable. The main issue is tables with round edges.

I have medium sized hands and the FK is perfect. Its small enough to fit inside my palm but large enough to get a good grip. I use a claw grip. The material is nice and grippy and the buttons have great feedback. I can get you my finger measurements when i get back home as i dont have a ruler.

Thank you for the answer, I have already wasted money on grips too big for this gun! Appreciate your time.

I would go big. The design's intent is for all four fingers to be on the button face. Even my hands are too big for the biggest.

orange fat gripz are crazy big. If you already have the blue fat gripz I would stick with those. The whole purpose of the fat gripz is to activate more muscle by gripping it and creating tension. so you can try it out but if you can't get a clean grip on it then most exercises become pointless. But still a great option to have for arm's and grip training and maybe some dumbbell work. I hope this help's.
