How to choose and what to follow when choosing the right griffin for your needs?
1 Type of griffin
Griffins, in combination with weight plates, are an essential component of professional gyms and other sports and recreation centers due to the multifunctionality of the different types and their wide application, but they also work well in schools and home environments. The key aspect to consider when choosing a gryphon is its type. In general, griffins are similar, but each type has slightly different parameters and purpose. You should think about the types of exercises in your training plan and, based on them, determine which type, given its parameters and specifications, will be adequate for your needs.- Straight griffin: is the most versatile type of griffin used for a wide range of strength exercises, such as bench press, squats, deadlifts and rowing. Its simple design allows for even weight distribution, which is crucial when performing multi-joint movements involving large muscle groups. Sample model: straight barbell 180 cm/28 mm.

- Olympic griffin: is characterized by a longer length and diameter, which allows the use of heavier loads, typical of Olympic competitions. These griffins are designed to withstand extreme loads and intense use, making them ideal for weightlifting such as the Olympic snatch, toss and squat. In addition, Olympic griffins have bearings in the sleeves, allowing the griffin to rotate more smoothly and reducing stress on the wrists. Example model: 50 mm Olympic griffin Professional Power 220 cm + clamps. Click on the link
- Broken gr iffin : this is a curved "W" shaped griffin, which allows for a more natural positioning of the wrists when performing isolation exercises, such as arm flexions for biceps and arm extensions for triceps. The curved design reduces tension on the joints and allows for more comfortable exercise, which is especially beneficial for people with joint problems or limited mobility. Example model: broken griffin 120 cm/28 mm. Click on the link
2 Length and diameter
- Length: An important issue, affecting the use of the griffin and the comfort of use, is its length. Shorter griffins, usually ranging from 120 cm to 150 cm in length, are more manageable and ideal for isolated exercises. Longer griffins, from 180 cm to 220 cm, are essential for multi-joint exercises such as squats, deadlifts and bench presses, where the longer length of the griffin allows better weight distribution and improves stability.- Diameter: an equally important issue that affects grip and compatibility of the griffin with weights is the diameter. Standard griffins have a diameter of 28 mm, which provides a comfortable and secure grip, allowing better control of the griffin during exercise. Olympic griffins have a larger diameter, 50 mm, which is standard for competitions and allows the use of specialized and heavier weights. The larger diameter also affects grip comfort and can help prevent hand and wrist injuries during intense training sessions.
3 Adjustment and adaptation
- The ability to adjust the griffin to suit one's needs is a valuable asset of some models. Although most griffins have fixed dimensions, some models offer adjustable sleeves that allow you to adjust the length of the griffin for specific exercises. Adaptation of the equipment involves compatibility with different types of plate weights, which can be individually mounted on the equipment depending on your training needs, and additional safety features, such as spring locks or screw locks. Griffins often have a non-slip finish and ergonomic grips to increase comfort and safety during training, allowing you to perform a variety of effective exercises.- In practice, adjustment is intuitive and simple. Some models have standard load mounts that can be easily adjusted with screw locks, allowing you to quickly and safely change loads during training.
An essential complementary tool for grips is a plate load. For more useful information about the weights and to browse the range, please visit our separate page click the link
4. manufacturing material
This is a very important aspect, as the workmanship and the way it is made affects not only the durability and strength of the griffin, but also the safety of use.- The use of high-quality materials, such as hardened steel, is a priority for reputable manufacturers. This material is characterized by high tensile and compressive strength, which allows it to safely lift heavy loads. The steel goes through a heat treatment process that increases its hardness and strength, making the grips resistant to deformation and cracking, even under heavy use.
- In addition, during production the equipment goes through a chrome plating process, which provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance, increases surface hardness and protects against corrosion and scratches. Zinc plating is also not uncommon during production, which further protects the equipment from corrosion and increases its endurance to splashing and outdoor use, especially in high humidity.
- In addition, the ergonomic finish of the griffin handle is another advantage. Most griffins have fluted grips, which increase grip and prevent the griffin from slipping from the hands during intense exercise. The handles have a non-slip coating, which also increases safety when it comes to sweaty hands.
Summary
The right exercise griffin is an invaluable support in strength training, allowing you to perform a variety of exercises. This makes the implementation of a number of exercises, strengthening various parts of the body, extremely effective and enjoyable. Thanks to its adjustability, the equipment is even more versatile, easily adaptable to the user and compatible with other equipment like barbells. Robust construction with high-quality materials and workmanship, which includes advanced finishing processes such as chrome plating or zinc plating, makes the equipment characterized by reliability. As a result, the griffin serves users with different expectations and needs in homes, schools, gyms and other sports and recreational centers for many years of intensive use.We encourage you to read the descriptions and parameters of each model of different types, or contact us so that we can choose the most suitable and adequate model to suit your needs.
