What is Tacky for Strongman?
Tacky is a popular and effective grip aid used in the Strongman sport. It helps athletes get a better and more stable grip on heavy and unwieldy objects, such as Atlas Stones. Tacky is made from a special blend of pine and has a sticky surface that provides extra friction and grip.
What are Atlas Stones?
Atlas Stones are a classic and iconic event in the Strongman sport that tests participants' strength, endurance, and technique. These stones are large, round, and heavy concrete stones used in various competition events and challenges.
Strongman competition participants must lift and carry Atlas Stones over short distances, lift them onto platforms of varying heights or over obstacles, and sometimes even lift them up to their shoulders. The weight of Atlas Stones ranges from around 30 kg to over 200 kg, making them extremely demanding to handle and lift.
To succeed with Atlas Stones, not only raw strength is required but also proper technique and grip. Strongman athletes often use grip aids like Tacky or Grip Spray to improve grip and stability when lifting these heavy concrete stones.
Atlas Stones symbolize the physical and mental challenge that the Strongman sport entails. They show that athletes are capable of overcoming gravity and their own limits to perform at their best during these impressive competitions.
Assortment of Tacky Products
We offer a wide range of Tacky products to suit the needs of all Strongman athletes. Choose from different types, sizes, and temperatures to find the perfect Tacky product for your training and competition needs.
How to use Tacky for Strongman
To use Tacky effectively, it is important to prepare both your hands, forearms, and the product. Clean your hands thoroughly and warm up the Tacky in your hands to make it softer and easier to apply. Tacky is applied directly to the hands and forearms, covering as large an area as possible. You can also apply Tacky directly to the surface of the Atlas Stone to create the best possible contact surface.
Tips for Storing and Maintaining Your Tacky
Store your Tacky in its original container to prevent it from drying out and losing its properties. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or heat to prolong its lifespan.

Grip Spray vs Tacky - What's the difference?
Grip Spray and Tacky are both popular grip aids used in Strongman sports to improve grip when lifting Atlas Stones. But what sets them apart and which option is best for you? Let's break down the main differences between these two products.
Grip Spray
Grip Spray is a fast-drying, liquid product that is applied directly to the hands and forearms to create enhanced friction and grip. Grip Spray provides a lighter and more discreet grip enhancement compared to Tacky. It is perfect for athletes who prefer a less sticky and more natural grip.
Tacky
Tacky, on the other hand, is a sticky, thick, and more intense grip aid that provides a strong and long-lasting grip. It is applied to both the hands and forearms to ensure a secure and reliable grip. Tacky can also be applied directly to the surface of the Atlas Stone. Tacky is ideal for athletes who need extra grip strength and stability when lifting very heavy Atlas Stones.
In summary, Grip Spray is a lighter grip aid that offers a quick and natural grip improvement, while Tacky provides a more intense and sticky grip contact. The choice between the two depends on your personal preferences and needs as a Strongman athlete. Try both products and decide which one best suits your training and competition requirements.
