The Gorilla Grip by Maniak Fitness is a professional tool designed to train your crushing grip—that is, your ability to close your hand from an open position under real load. Perfect for anyone who needs a dominant grip in deadlifts, climbing, grappling, or strongman, this device replicates the real movement of closing your fingers from extension, starting with an open hand, just like in a pull.
The top bar remains fixed and serves as a palm support. The lower bar, connected to the loading pin, sits at your fingertips and must be lifted—using only your closing strength—against the weight.
Crushing grip: finger-closing strength, essential for mastering any type of hold.
Deep forearm flexors: muscles that aren’t activated with rows or curls.
Truly strong fingers: training from an open-hand position improves pulling initiation.
Hand-to-shoulder connection: functional strength and stability for lifting and controlling heavy loads.
Isometric endurance when training under time-under-tension.
Load Olympic plates onto the central pin (50 mm).
Place your palms against the fixed top bar.
With an open hand, hook the lower bar with your fingers.
Slowly close your hand and lift the lower bar.
Repeat, hold, or increase the weight.
This movement is similar to using a hand gripper but with real load, longer range, and direct transfer to real performance.

It’s a grip training device that focuses on the motion of closing your hand against resistance from a fully open position. It’s not for pushing or hanging—it’s all about crushing down with your fingers and controlling the movement.
It uses 50 mm Olympic plates. The max load depends on your grip strength... and how much you're willing to suffer.
It's on a different level. While traditional grippers work a short range with constant tension, the Gorilla Grip allows for progressive loading, full range of motion, tempo control, and realistic unilateral or bilateral training.
Yes, you can train with both hands at once for volume and endurance, or one hand at a time for targeted work, imbalances, or max-strength development.
Yes, if you start with light weights. The forearm muscles respond well to training but need gradual progression and solid technique. Use loads that let you close with control, not momentum.
The Maniak Gorilla Grip isn’t for everyone. It’s for those who know that grip isn’t just an accessory—it’s the start and finish of every serious lift. With it, you'll build steel fingers, bulletproof wrists, and unshakable confidence in every heavy set.
Close with power. Rule with your hands. Be a Maniak.
