Grips With 2 or 3 holes. What is better?

This is one of the million dollar questions. How to choose from a Grip of two or three holes?.

This choice depends on each one, but to guide you in this decision you must take into account the size of the hand.

Those of 2 holes are enough for most people, but if you want to have your hand very covered, that of 3 holes would be the one you would choose, you will see all the palm of your hand.

If in your case you have a big hand or if you need more protection, you recommend that of 3 holes.

In practice, crossfiters usually put their fingers in the holes but there are others who are more comfortable without introducing fingers into the holes. It all depends on the type of exercise you are doing. As they say in these cases: tastes, colors.

What is the size I must choose?

To choose what is your size, the first thing you have to do is measure your hand. It measures from the base of the wrist to the beginning of your hands and leaves some millimeters of margin so that the Grip Do not be very tight and allow you to open your hand without problems.

PICSIL has 4 different sizes in all its models: S, M, L and XL.

The type of grip that you are going to do, will make you decide for one size or another: if you want to use it in the usual way by introducing your fingers, you must choose the size that corresponds to the measure of your hand according to the siolation guide. If on the contrary, you prefer to protect your fingers a little more in the famous “muscle ups” and choose to make the gymnastic fold in the Grip, Or you even prefer not to introduce your fingers, you will choose one more size than is shown in the table.

For example, if the measure you have taken is 9.5cm you correspond to the M (size 1), but if you want to make the fold you would choose the L (size 2).

How to clean them?

Yes Grips They have taken smell and want to eliminate it, we advise you that the goals in the freezer. You will notice the difference when taking them out. However, if you want to wash them because they have a blood stain, you can wash them by hand being very careful.

When they are sweat, they get wet or wash them, it is very important that you let them dry. They are always recommended to wear them seized outside the backpack, as you have seen in professionals.

It is not washed except in exceptional cases to remove a stain. And very important is that it never wash.

How to use the Grips correctly?

The Grips They are used by putting the fingers in the holes, so that it always allows you to have a slack in the palm of the hand and that is not adjusted, that does not prevent mobility in your hand. As we had mentioned above, there are people who prefer not to put their fingers, which is also an option.

You will use using gymnastic folds is a personal decision that some crossfiters use to have more mobility. In this case, they make the fold in the union of the fingers with the palm of the hand and thus protect the area where the calluses leave and avoid the appearance of wounds. This grip is widely used in the exercise of dominated or in the “UPS muscle”.

Many comment on the importance of the doll when offering support to the wrist, making the closure well subject.

In PICSIL, new velcros have been created to give greater support, more durable and that provide more security.
