How to Use Elite Fit Grips Like a Pro: A Step-by-Step Guide for Smarter Lifting

Elite Fit Grips are changing the way athletes, lifters, and fitness enthusiasts train with dumbbells, barbells, and cable machines. Their rotating shaft, cushioned grip, and adjustable V-cradle are designed to deliver better comfort, safer angles, and stronger muscle engagement.

But to get the most out of your Elite Fit Grips, it helps to know exactly how to use them. This quick guide will walk you through everything—from setup to form to the best exercises to try.

✅  Step 1: How to Use Elite Fit Grips

Setting up your Elite Fit Grips is simple and quick:

1. Pull the ring pin to release the inner shaft.

2. Adjust the V-cradle to the desired length based on the exercise you are doing—dumbbell, barbell, or cable machine.

3. Reinsert the ring pin to lock the inner shaft in place.

4. Once secured, you’re ready to lift.

This adjustable V-cradle allows you to switch grip angles and maintain proper alignment for each workout. It’s all about protecting your wrists, elbows, shoulders, and back—while increasing efficiency and control.

✋ Step 2: How to Hold the Elite Fit Grips

Proper grip is key to the exercise you are performing:

• Ensure the cushioned handle is set in the neutral grip position, with the handle pointing outward (away from the body). - See Video For Example

• If you’re using a cable machine, simply attach the hook on the bottom of the Elite Fit Grips to the carabiner of the exercise machine. - See Video For Example

• Make sure your hands are as low as possible on the grip. This ensures that you will get the best leverage for each movement. - See Video For Example

This setup promotes a more ergonomic grip, reduces stress on joints, and enhances muscle engagement through natural movement patterns.

🏋️ Step 3: Best Exercises to Use With Elite Fit Grips

While Elite Fit Grips offer unmatched versatility and ergonomic support, they are not intended for every exercise in the gym. These grips are specifically designed to enhance comfort, control, and joint safety during select barbell, dumbbell, and cable machine exercises.

For optimal performance and safety, we recommend using Elite Fit Grips only for the following recommended exercises:

Barbell Exercises:

• High Bar Squats

• Deadlifts

• Shrugs

• Straight-Leg Deadlifts

• Romanian Deadlifts

• Upright Rows

These movements benefit greatly from the elevated grip height and adjustable rotation, improving both form and comfort.

Dumbbell Exercises:

• Farmer Walks

• One-Arm Rows

• Dumbbell Shrugs

• Lateral & Posterior Raises

• Lunges & Dumbbell Lunges

The Elite Fit Grip’s natural hand positioning reduces strain during high-rep dumbbell training, especially when targeting posterior chain muscles.

• One-Arm Seated Cable Rows
