UnbrokenShop hand grips come in clutch anytime I have a high volume pull day.

These unsung heroes help me get through the toughest workouts without tearing my hands up.

Whether you do a lot of pull ups, rings, or kettlebell exercises, these hand grips take a beating so you don’t have to.

For that reason, they deserve an in-depth review for those of you who rip often and are looking for help.

Let’s dig in!

Unboxing

Table of Contents

The speed hand grips pro package comes in a travel mesh bag.

Inside the bag there’s two hand grips and a callus remover.

The hand grips don’t have finger holes on them.

That’s done on purpose so you can transition faster to exercises that don’t require the hand grips.

Just move the hand protector down and out of the way without having to remove the hand grips.

The callus remover has two different sides.

One side has a raised, knurling-like surface.

And the other side is more like sand paper.

Features

On one side of the hand grips you have a soft padding that wraps around your wrists.

The leather part sits on your palms.

Here’s a closer look showing the stitching.

The padding feels comfortable when it’s tight around my wrist.

From this side view you can see the detailed stitching on the leather.

The fabric on the padding helps to wick sweat quickly.

Flip the hand grips over and you can see the rubber hand protector.

This is gonna come in direct contact with your equipment so your hands don’t rip.

A closer look at the rubber hand protector shows you how it’s stitched to the wrist strap in a box pattern.

On one side of the wrist strap you have a velcro strap.

And on the other side you have a loop for the velcro strap to go through.

Here’s an extreme close up of the stitching on the leather strap and padding.

How to Use UnbrokenShop Hand Grips

Using the UnbrokenShop hand grips is straight forward.

The soft padding goes on the inside of your wrist.

Thread the velcro strap through the loop.

Press the velcro strap down on itself to tighten the wrist strap.

And you’re good to go!

It’s the same set up as my weight lifting hooks but the purpose of these is more of hand protection and grip.

This is what it should look like when it’s on correctly.

The rubber side comes in contact with your equipment.

Hand Grip Applications

The hand grips work great with any ring exercises.

They wrap around the rings naturally without any restrictions.

The added grip is helpful when you’re doing a lot of reps and sets.

Great for ring pull ups and muscle ups.

The pull up bar on my PRx Performance rack has a rough texture so the hand grips make a big difference.

Especially when doing workouts with a weighted vest where you’re carrying more weight.

The hand grips reduce a lot of the friction on exercises like toes to bar, kipping pull ups, bar muscle ups, and chin ups.

They’re also useful in exercises like kettlebell swings and farmer walks.

Hand Grips Sizes

UnbrokenShop sells their pro hand grips in small, medium, and large sizes.

To see which one fits you best measure the space between your wrist and the base of your fingers.

Where To Buy

You can pick up the speed hand grips pro on Amazon.

They sell for $45 which is not bad at all because they’re great quality.
