The grips are certified for 180kg (400 lbs) per handle (so 360kg 840lbs when using together). Also, you can take a look at our unofficial resistance test that we did with a minivan, which weighed over 1.8 tons (4 grips) 

Angles90 Resistance Test 💪🏽

Building grip strength is extremely important. With the help of A90 you can definitely increase your grip strength, because you have to control the grip (free-moveable) and you can change within the grip options. One grip-option, called GRIP (😉) allows you to put the main focus on your grip-strength by putting the ring-finger between the straps. Please, have a look at the following video: Angles90 grips: Grip-method

There are several differences:

1. You can grab rings in one way only. Our grips, on the other hand, offer different grip options (see details here:  Ergo vs Power ). One grip option, called Ergo grip, is pretty much aligned to your hands and thus is more ergonomic. 

2. Rings are much bigger, thus less convenient to carry around

3.Most importantly, though, the Angles90 grips can be attached to all kinds of pulling machines, cable machines, bars and bands, thus allowing for a more natural ROM and a wider variety of exercises. 💪🏽

A freely movable handle allows for a more natural range of motion which directly implies in less joint stress. Our bodies were not made to grab horizontally aligned handles year in year out in the gym. From a biomechanical perspective, our arms (slightly) rotate when they pull something. If you now with the use of Angles90 you grab a handle that adapts to you and not the other way around, your involved muscle groups will absorb the loads more efficiently, thus minimizing wrist, elbow and shoulder injury risk. 

It's mainly for pull exercises, because that's where the freedom in choosing different grip positions is missing the most (barbell deadlifts, pull-ups, rowing machines...). However, the handles are also attachable to cable machines to just have a better grip. while doing Chest Fly's for example. With the help of our A90 Sling Trainer and A90 Resistance Band you can do a lot of push-exercises too!

Angles90 allows you to train in a natural range of motion, which means that countless exercises can be performed more effectively and with less strain on the joints.  

Our body, however, is not made to move weights out of rigid angles - at least according to numerous studies and the best coaches on this planet.

From a biomechanical perspective, our arms should rather be moving freely during a movement in order to alleviate pressure from wrists, elbows and shoulders. Especially at pull movements the problem becomes clear: Lat pull-downs, pull-ups, deadlifts and barbell/machine rows oftentimes provide limited grip options - unlike in cases of chest or shoulder exercises, let’s say a dumbbell press. There you intuitively chose a range of motion that feels most comfortable on your joints and that squeezes your target muscle most effectively.
