The Angles90 grips are a great tool to add variety and reduce joint stress during pull-ups. One challenge, however, is that their lower starting position can cause the plates from a chin/dip belt to hit the floor at the bottom of the movement.
If that’s the case, switch to a weighted vest like the Xvest instead—it can hold up to 84 pounds and keeps the added load off the ground while maintaining full range of motion.
Final thoughts:
If you’re looking to upgrade your pull-up routine, the Angles90 grips combined with the Xvest offer an effective and joint-friendly solution.

The hanging Garhammer raise puts the lower abs in the spotlight while reducing the hip-flexor takeover common in many hanging leg-raise variations. Start from the floor if needed, then earn the hanging version.
