Country Crush Raptor Grips

If you are new to thick-bar training, we recommend starting with the 1.5-inch or 1.75-inch grips. These provide a noticeable challenge over standard barbell handles without being so wide that they compromise your lifting form.

No, these are specifically engineered to fit the Country Crush Two-handed Revolving Handle and the Raptor Rolling Handle. They are not designed to attach directly to standard Olympic barbells or dumbbells.

The revolving design forces your hands and forearms to work harder to stabilize the weight throughout the entire movement. By eliminating the ability to 'cheat' the lift, it ensures your grip muscles are under constant, even tension.

Absolutely. While they are a staple for deadlifts, they are highly effective for rows, pull-ups, and static holds. Integrating them into various pulling movements is the best way to develop comprehensive forearm and hand strength.

You can purchase them as a single unit or as a pair, depending on your specific training needs. If you are using them for two-handed lifts like deadlifts, a pair is standard, but single units are useful for unilateral exercises or specific arm-wrestling drills.

The grips are constructed from high-quality, durable plastic designed to withstand intense, heavy-duty training sessions. While they are robust, they are intended for controlled lifting rather than being dropped from height, which could eventually compromise the material.
