What Are Lifting Straps and Why You Need Them
Lifting straps are your new gym buddies if you want to lift heavier without your grip giving up. Simply put, they’re sturdy straps that you wrap around your wrist and the barbell so you can fully focus on the lift – not on gripping the bar.
Whether you’re doing deadlifts, barbell rows, or shrugs, lifting straps give you extra grip, more control, and a reduced risk of injury. And let’s be honest: you don’t train your back just to stop halfway because your fingers give out, do you?
Why use lifting straps?
Good question! Here are the most important reasons:
- Your grip will no longer fail before your muscles do
- You'll get more reps out of your set (yes, gains baby)
- You'll prevent calluses and nasty blisters
- You'll train smarter, not harder
In short: lifting straps provide more grip and muscle growth
How do you put on straps?
It seems difficult, but after a couple of tries you'll be able to do it with your eyes closed. This is how it works:
- Pull your hand through the loop
- Pull the strap tight around your wrist
- Wrap the loose end around the barbell
- Pull and you're locked in.
