Neutral Grip Pull Up Handles
For those who workout at a Crossfit box, functional fitness gym, or OCR gym that has plenty of straight pull up bars, our Neutral Grips are perfect for doing pull ups with different pull up grip positions. The Neutral Grips are good for both wide grip pull ups and narrow grip pull ups. Pull ups using a narrow, neutral grip position are a good choice if you are recovering from a shoulder injury as they minimize the strain on the should joint as compared to a wide pronated grip position. The hand grip surface, which has a flat powder coat finish, is 1.5 inches in diameter, and is 6 inches long. The hook emanates from the center of the tube, and it is covered with a silicone sleeve at the grip-to-hook interface to provide a comfortable grip.
The most common position of the Neutral Grips in your hand is with the hook placed between your pointer and middle fingers. When placed on a horizontal pull up bar with the hook facing away from you, the grips will be in the neutral position, and will also be horizontal. If the grip is placed between the middle finger and the ring finger, the grip will be approximately at a 45-degree angle. Turning the hook towards yourself will put the grip at various angles from horizontal. This all adds up to many different pull up grip positions that can be achieved with the neutral grips.
Like our other two hooked grip products, the Neutral Grips are great for swinging from one carabiner or ring to another with the grip in your hand. The Neutral Grips are a little easier to hang onto when compared to the Minicane Pinch Grips, and are approximately equivalent to the Ball Grips. Each Neutral Grip has a maximum recommended user rating of 250 lbs, and they are sold in pairs. If you are interested in an eyebolt version of this hand grip, check out our Ninja Tee Grips.
If you would like a lighter duty neutral grip, you can learn more at our Pull Up Handles page. We also make grips called the Ninja Hooks, with 8” long hooks turned 90 degrees from the grip, which creates for a great ninja course warrior-style grip for bar-to-bar transfers.
