Description
A solid middle-ground grip ring for climbers, lifters and gym users who want stronger hands without jumping straight to heavy resistance.
A Medium Resistance Grip Ring for Climbers, Lifters and Everyday Grip Training
The YY Vertical Grip Ring Green 20kg is the middle option in the YY Vertical Grip Ring range, making it a great choice if you want something more challenging than beginner resistance, but not as tough as the hardest option.
This is the one we would point many regular gym users and climbers towards. It gives more feedback than the Yellow 15kg ring, but still feels controlled enough for warm-ups, grip activation and regular hand strength work.
The Green Grip Ring targets the finger flexors, which are the muscles involved in squeezing, gripping, holding and pulling. If your training includes pull-ups, deadlifts, farmers carries, kettlebells, climbing holds or loaded carries, your grip is already doing a lot of work.
This ring gives you a simple way to prepare your hands and forearms before training, without needing bulky kit or over complicated exercises.
Is the Green 20kg Grip Ring the best all-round option?
For many people, yes. The Green 20kg Grip Ring is a strong all-round choice because it sits between the lighter Yellow 15kg Grip ring and the harder Blue 25kg Grip ring.
It is not the easiest option, but it is not the toughest either. That makes it a good fit if you already train, climb or lift and want one grip ring that feels useful across different sessions.
If you are brand new to grip training, you may prefer the Yellow 15kg Grip Ring version. If you already have stronger hands and want more resistance, the Blue 25kg Grip Ring version may be the better choice.
Should I use a grip ring before climbing or lifting?
Yes, a grip ring can be useful before climbing or lifting because it helps wake up the hands, fingers and forearms before grip-heavy work. The goal is not to tire your grip out before training. Keep the reps smooth, controlled and comfortable. Think of it as part of your warm-up, not a max-effort challenge.
A few gentle squeezes before climbing, lifting or carrying can help you feel more prepared before your main session starts.
Why Buds Fitness Selected This Product
We selected the YY Vertical Grip Ring Green 20kg because it feels like the most practical option for everyday use. It is useful for climbers, lifters and strength athletes, but it is also simple enough for someone who just wants to improve their hand strength over time. Grip training does not have to be complicated, and this product proves that.
We also like that it pairs nicely with the YY Vertical Alien. The Grip Ring trains the closing side of the hand, while the Grip Alien trains the opening side of the hand. Together, they make a simple little grip setup without needing big equipment or a big spend.
Grip matters in strength sports, climbing and everyday life. Whether you are holding a barbell, carrying shopping, gripping farmers handles or climbing holds, stronger hands can make a real difference.
How to Use a YY Vertical Grip Ring
The YY Vertical Grip Ring is simple to use, but control matters.
- Hold the ring comfortably in one hand.
- Place your fingers around the outside of the ring.
- Keep your wrist relaxed and your hand in a natural position.
- Squeeze the ring slowly until you feel the resistance.
- Pause briefly at the squeeze if you want a little more tension.
- Release slowly instead of letting the ring spring back.
- Aim for smooth reps rather than fast, rushed squeezes.
- Use it before grip-heavy training or as a light hand strength drill during the day.
