Anyone have any experience with Fat Gripz (or similar brand)

Experiences?
I'm actually considering them because of chronic tendonitis in my forearms. I'm thinking that maybe the grips will allow stress to be put on some other muscles or areas of the muscles and let tendons heal for a while.

i have them, i like them for pressing. i dunno if it will fix your issue though.
you should really work on building up the flexor muscles though similar to working the tib on the shin to stop shin splints. wont stop tendonitis completely but will help.

I use them occasionally and they definitely help with grip strength and get different muscles engaged. But as stated above, I'm not sure it would help your tendonitis and might even aggravate it.

Recommend the Arm Aid

I have them and mostly use them for farmer's walks. I wish they were a bit larger to fully wrap around the dumbbell handle, but they work your forearms/grip.
Not sure it's going to help with forearm pain though. How do you feel after doing wrist curls?

They make some that are huge. Like Karl Malone would have a hard time.
ETA: I see you mean that they’d wrap around the entire bar. Seems like they could slip.
