At 63 years old, I’m not slowing down—I’m adapting and pushing forward. I’ve spent a lifetime staying active and committed to fitness, but like many, age brought new challenges. Arthritis, weakening grip strength, and constant hand pain started to take the joy out of something I loved—lifting.
I refused to quit. Instead, I got to work. That’s how the GripPad Pro was born. I designed it out of necessity—to take the pressure off my hands while keeping me strong in the gym and beyond. Now, I can bench press, knock out push-ups, work the bar, or even get in a quick park bench workout—without being distracted by pain or discomfort.
The GripPad Pro isn’t just a product. It’s my solution, my comeback, and my way of proving that age doesn’t define your limits—you do. 63 and still pushing limits. Arthritis tried to slow me down—so I invented the GripPad Pro. Now I lift stronger, train smarter, and stay pain-free. Proof that age doesn’t stop you… quitting does. 
- Enhances grip and control

The GripPad Pro is a lightweight, ergonomic hand pad designed to stick securely to your palms, providing enhanced grip and comfort during push-ups on bars, chairs, or any elevated surface.

How to Use GripPad Pro with Push-Up Bars
Attach the pads to your hands
Place each GripPad Pro onto your palm, aligning it so it covers the area that will contact the push-up bar. Press gently to activate the adhesive layer, ensuring it sticks securely without discomfort.
Position the push-up bars
Set your push-up bars firmly on the ground, shoulder-width apart, on a flat, stable surface.
Grip the bars
Place your hands onto the bars as you normally would. The outer surface of the GripPad Pro will make contact with the bar, creating a strong, non-slip grip.
Get into starting position
Extend your legs back into a plank position, keeping your body straight from head to heels. Engage your core and keep your wrists aligned with your forearms.
Lower your body
Bend your elbows slowly, lowering your chest toward the ground while maintaining control. The pads help distribute pressure across your palms and prevent slipping.
Push back up
Press through the bars to return to the starting position. The GripPad Pro maintains consistent contact, improving stability and reducing hand fatigue.
Repeat for reps
Continue your push-ups with improved grip, comfort, and control.
What the GripPad Pro does during use:
Keeps your hands from slipping on the bars
Reduces pressure on sensitive areas of the palm
Improves stability so you can focus on form
Helps maintain a consistent grip throughout the set
Using your GripPad Pro – for pull exercises (like pull-ups, rows, and bar work):
Wrap or position the GripPad Pro around the bar, handle, or grip surface.
Make sure the pad sits evenly between your palm and the bar.
Your fingers should naturally curl around the pad—not squeeze directly on the bar.
- Wrap GripPad Pro around the handle or band
- Hold the pad instead of gripping tightly
- Pull toward your torso, squeezing your shoulder blades
- Keep wrists neutral and relaxed
- Key Benefits During Pull Work
- Reduces hand pressure and joint strain
- Helps with arthritis or weak grip strength
- Allows longer sets without hand fatigue
- Improves focus on back, shoulders, and arms
- Makes outdoor and bar workouts more comfortable
How to Use GripPad Pro for Push-Ups on a Park Bench
Attach the pads to your hands
Place each GripPad Pro on your palms, centered where your hand will press against the bench. Apply light pressure so the adhesive sticks securely.
Position yourself at the bench
Stand facing a sturdy park bench. Place your hands shoulder-width apart on the edge of the bench seat or backrest (depending on height and comfort).
Grip the surface
Press your palms (with the pads on) firmly onto the bench. The outer surface of the GripPad Pro creates a non-slip connection, even on smooth or slightly rough outdoor materials.
Step into starting position
Walk your feet back until your body forms a straight line from head to heels. Keep your core tight and shoulders aligned over your hands.
Lower your body
Bend your elbows and slowly lower your chest toward the bench. The pads help distribute pressure evenly and prevent your hands from sliding.
Push back up
Press through your palms to return to the starting position. The GripPad Pro maintains grip and stability throughout the movement.
Repeat your reps
Continue for your desired number of repetitions with better control and comfort.
Why it helps on a park bench:
Prevents slipping on smooth, painted, or slightly damp surfaces
Adds comfort when pressing against hard edges
Improves stability for incline push-ups (great for beginners or high-rep sets)
Keeps your grip consistent outdoors where surfaces vary
How to Use GripPad Pro with a Weightlifting Bar
Attach the pads to your hands
Place each GripPad Pro on your palms, covering the main contact area where the bar rests. Press lightly so the adhesive holds securely.
Position yourself at the bar
Approach the barbell (on a rack or on the ground, depending on the exercise—bench press, deadlift, rows, etc.). Stand or lie in your proper starting position.
Grip the bar
Wrap your hands around the bar as usual. The outer surface of the GripPad Pro will sit between your palm and the bar, creating a firm, non-slip connection.
Set your form
Align your wrists straight with your forearms and engage your core. The pads help cushion pressure points and reduce direct strain on your hands.
Perform the lift
Execute your movement (press, pull, or lift). The GripPad Pro helps stabilize your grip, so you can focus on controlled motion and proper form.
Maintain control throughout
As you complete reps, the pads stay in place, preventing slipping caused by sweat and reducing hand fatigue.
Finish and remove
After your set, release the bar and gently peel off the pads if needed. Clean them for reuse.
What GripPad Pro adds during weightlifting:
Stronger, more secure grip on the bar
Reduced palm pressure and friction (helps prevent discomfort or calluses)
Better control during heavy or high-rep sets
Useful for exercises like deadlifts, bench press, rows, and curls
The GripPad PRO is perfect for outdoor fitness training and functional workouts that combine running, pushing, pulling, climbing, and bodyweight exercises. Whether you’re training at the park, on outdoor bars, using benches, trails, or fitness stations, GripPad PRO helps provide a more comfortable and secure grip while reducing stress on your hands.
Designed for active movement, GripPad PRO works great during:
- Outdoor push-ups on park benches

- Bootcamp and CrossFit-style training
- Bear crawls, sled pushes, and resistance drills

Its ergonomic design helps absorb pressure and reduce palm discomfort during repetitive push and pull movements, allowing you to stay focused on endurance, strength, and performance instead of hand fatigue.
