The Fold
Victory Grips have been specially designed to give athletes extra material to produce a dowel affect when on the bar. The dowel acts like a sort of horizontal claw or 2nd thumb, that helps athletes hold onto their equipment while performing pull ups and muscle ups. The dowel effect helps take some pressure off the fingers, as the athlete, essentially hangs, from the dowel and their fingers. Dowel gymnastic grips are band from Crossfit competition, however Victory grips provide the dowel benefits of additional material without using the dowel itself. Allowing the athlete to lock in their grip and create maximum torque.*
