In addition, the shorter straps allow the barbell to move more freely in the hand, which is helpful for exercises like the snatch. The steel hooks may be better than standard straps for more elite lifters, as they can support heavier weight.In addition, any exercise where you feel like your grip is being challenged, you can wear lifting straps, including: Once you’ve developed a grip deficiency, it’s really hard to get stronger in most pulling exercises, such as deadlift, chin-ups, and rows. Whether you’re looking for your first pair of lifting straps or you’re an advanced lifter looking to boost your training, there are some considerations to keep in mind when making your investment. Here are a few of the important ones. Primary Use

Lifting straps can help improve grip strength and endurance, allowing you to lift heavier weights and perform more repetitions. They can also reduce strain on your forearm muscles, preventing grip fatigue during intense workouts. Are lifting straps suitable for competitive powerlifting, weightlifting, strongman?

Thanks to the heavy-duty cotton webbing and reinforced stitching, these straps are also made to be durable for your heavy deadliftand barbell row sessions. There’s no neoprene wrist padding in these straps, so lifters with sensitive skin might feel some pinching or bruising. But many customers say they liked the stiffer feel, saying it’s, “exactly what I had been looking for with the right ‘feel,’” one five-star reviewer writes. “No ‘spring-like’ end feel when tightened around the bar.” Heavy pulls like hang cleansand deadliftscan put a lot of stress on lifting straps, especially when you use a bar that has moderate to intense knurling. Rubbing the straps consistently against knurling can damage and weaken lifting straps, which is why we’re fans of the heavy-duty nylon material used in these straps from Iron Bull. Their 24-inch length — which is about six inches longer than the standard pair — also contributes to the durability of these straps. The extra length means you can loop the strap around the bar more (and therefore distribute the weight more) than you would with, say, an 18-inch strap.

These Gymreaper Figure 8 straps are designed specifically for deadlifting, rowing, and strongman-style pulling. The strap is made with heavy layered canvas cotton and contains extra padding along the wrists, along with double stitching throughout to handle heavy weight. But what really makes this the most secure lifting strap is the figure 8 design, which basically handcuffs your hands to the bar for the duration of your lift. The shorter design is also ideal for weightlifters because it leaves less material between the bar and your hands, so you don’t have to adjust your technique or grip in any way. It also means you won’t achieve a super secure grip with these straps, but for lifts like clean & jerks and snatches, grip strength comes secondary to explosive strength.

Strongman-style training will utilize straps in a similar manner to powerlifting. The end goals are usually to strengthen and overload the body when the grip is fatigued. Whether you’re a serious athlete or a recreational lifter, straps can be a great tool to utilize in a well-thought-out program. They’re a lifting accessory that doesn’t require a ton of gym bagspace and can come in handy when there’s still work to do, but your grip is shot. How Much Do Lifting Straps Cost?
