Hold the bar when the reps pile up
The Cheater Grips are our classic gymnastics grips for the pull-up bar. They give you a solid hold on Pull-Ups, Toes-to-Bar, Muscle-Ups and anything that racks up high reps on the bar. Best part: you no longer need chalk. The grips bite on their own and back up your grip strength long after your hands would otherwise give out. For the best hold, wipe any residue off the bar first. And yes – despite the name Cheater, they're legal at every competition.
Tough material that keeps up
On the outside sits a hard-wearing rubber blend that delivers the grip. Underneath runs a textile reinforcement that makes the grips especially tear-resistant – even when you push them hard. Around the wrist wraps a neoprene weave that cushions and sits comfortably, even when you wear the grips for a while. The inside is soft microfibre that feels good against the skin.
Four colours, two sizes
You get the original in a single version and four colours: yellow, black, red and white. On top of that you pick size M or L – based on your hand length. The size chart and the sizing image show you which one fits.

Cheater Grips vs. chalk alone
| Criterion | Cheater Grips | Chalk alone |
|---|---|---|
| Grip at high volume | Consistent, even over many reps | Fades over time |
| Chalk needed | No | Yes, again and again |
| Hand protection (rips/blisters) | Covers the palm | No protection |
| Competition-legal | Yes | Yes |
| Clean hands and bar | Yes | No, it dusts and smears |
Chalk alone helps for a moment, but you keep reapplying it and it doesn't protect your hands. The Cheater Grips hold through the whole session, cover the palm and keep both your hands and the bar clean. If you spend a lot of time on the bar, reach for the grips.
