Great Ape Grips Pro

$64.95

The Great Ape Grips Pro is the next evolution of grip training—designed for athletes who want the benefits of the classic rice bucket workout without the mess, inconsistency, or breakdown over time.

Instead of rice, the Pro uses precision thermoplastic pellets to deliver smooth, consistent resistance with every rep. The feel is dense, controlled, and deliberate, allowing you to train grip strength, wrist stability, and forearm endurance more effectively than traditional DIY setups. Resistance stays uniform session after session, so progress is easier to track and training stays intentional.

At the top, an ambidextrous glove lets you drop your hand in and get straight to work—no setup, no cleanup. Whether you’re warming up before training, building long-term hand strength, or rehabbing grip-related injuries, the Pro is built to handle daily use without losing shape or performance.

Compact, durable, and engineered to last, this is a serious tool for serious grip work.

Why we like it:

  • Precision thermoplastic core for smooth, consistent resistance
  • Zero mess—no rice breakdown or leaks
  • Mimics rice bucket training with improved durability and feedback
  • Builds grip, wrist, and forearm strength simultaneously
  • Excellent for training, recovery, and long-term hand health
  • Portable, balanced, and ready for daily use

Who it’s best for:
BJJ athletes, climbers, lifters, strikers, and anyone who relies on strong, healthy hands and wrists.
