Last summer when I got my kip, my coach told me that I should get dowel grips (the reward for getting your kip at my gym ). I didn't really want to pay $50, and I wasn't going to do more than 5 hours a week last year, so I didn't order any. Plus, I don't really get rips. Even after doing several kips, all I have is a few blisters. I thought grips were just for getting better "grip" on the bar, and to keep your hands from getting sweaty. If I don't have those problems, then why do I need them? I guess what I'm asking is, what are the benefits of grips? Is it safer with them, or easier, more fun? I am going to be doing more hours this year, so I want to know before I spend the money!
Thanks!
