Falsegrips

False Grips is a patent-pending rubber platform that attaches to standard gymnastics rings (1.1" to 1.25" diameter). It's not a gym or a store—it's specialized equipment designed to fix one specific problem: the false grip is uncomfortable and hard to learn, so most athletes avoid strict muscle ups entirely.

The false grip is pulling the trigger on an unloaded gun. That's it. No ammunition, no recoil, no noise, no cost per trigger press.

Learning a strict muscle up requires weeks of false grip conditioning. Your wrists burn. Your hands tear up. You want to quit. False Grips flips this:

• •Ergonomic platform balances the heel of your wrist on the center of the rings instead of pinching your palm
• •Textured rubber surface provides friction for a secure grip without the skin damage
• •Snap-on design attaches and detaches without removing rings
• •Works with band-assisted drills via patent-pending cutout for ¼" to 1" resistance bands

False Grips solves a real problem: athletes avoid strict muscle ups because the false grip is uncomfortable. This rubber platform makes the false grip accessible, lets you drill the movement pattern correctly, and builds the strength progression faster. Pat Burke didn't invent muscle ups, but he made them learnable for regular athletes.
