SHRUGS: using NewGrips

"I was pretty sceptical that NewGrips would really make any difference at all in my workout. Then when I did some heavy shrugs I noticed that all the weight and focus was on my traps and not on my hands. The Grip made all the difference. I can pound out 5-8 more reps as normally my hands would just get too sore and I would have to drop the weight."

"Considering my favorite exercise is the deadlift, (that's me in the photo) I was very excited to try the New Grips and see if I could make an increase on my 1RM. My 1RM was 295 with traditional gloves. 2 days later I attempted my NewGrip 1RM in which I pulled a 315.NewGrips are superior compared to lifting straps, because they do not put as much stress on the wrists as the straps do. I love New Grips....Thanks to everyone at BodyBuilding.com for all the recommendations."

"Grips really help out on shoulder shrugs where using a proper grip is very important, and with the NewGrips I was able to increase the weight load by about 5 more lbs on each dumbbell initially. Buying my second pair is a good deal because they endure."
