Product Information

The main benefit of the Gymreapers Olympic Lifting Straps is that they’re specifically designed in a tear-drop shape for Olympic weightlifting. They’re shorter than traditional straps, so they wrap around the bar less. This means they help with your grip, but if you need to bail a snatch or clean and jerk, they’ll release in time to safely separate yourself from the bar. This can prevent devastating injuries from longer straps that wouldn’t detach from the bar in time. These straps are also incredibly comfortable, featuring a 4mm padding on the inside for cushion and to prevent chafing. The cotton material is also soft and breathable, which keeps your hands cool and dry. At 24 inches long and 1.5 inches wide, they give you enough length and width to wrap around the bar securely.

Many folks purchasing gym equipment want a product that will last them a long time, getting them a good return for their money spent. When selecting the most durable lifting straps, we took into consideration not only how the straps are made, but also the material they’re made from. Leather lifting straps are relatively popular, particularly among lifters who value good design and craftsmanship. The material is incredibly durable and provides decent comfort during heavy training without irritating the skin. Nylon straps aren’t as common as the cotton straps; however, they’re the type of strap that you’ll see in serious strength training facilities. These hooks are versatile and can be used for various types of implements. They’re suitable for barbell lifts such as deadlifts, shrugs, or rows, as well as using them on pull-up bars. They play nice with cable machine attachments, and one customer even mentioned they use them on their rowing machine handles to combat grip fatigue.DESIGNED FOR COMFORT. These straps will help you feel comfortable during your weight lifting sessions. Our straps are very lightweight and soft to the touch so they won’t hurt or dig into your wrists while wearing them. Lift painlessly with the comfort and mobility of our fully adjustable lifting straps. Not all lifting straps are the same. The main types of straps are single loop, lasso strap, and figure 8. Single Loop These straps are traditional (lasso) lifting straps, so you loop them around your wrists and then wrap them around the bar several times to create a tight and secure connection. However, this process requires some skill and practice. At first, it will be awkward and time-consuming, but after a while, you should get the hang of it. Cotton straps provide a decent level of grip support while lifting. However, as the weight gets heavier the cotton material will begin to stretch. Any stretching of the strap will reduce the amount it helps with grip strength. Both types of straps support your grip, are incredibly durable, and will last for years. Leather tends to be stiffer and typically requires a break-in period, whereas Nylon doesn’t feel as stiff but can lead to some skin irritation.

Straps this easy to use saves you time and avoids the hassle of resetting your straps, especially when switching between different exercises or weights. For ease and speed, I find hooks are better than any other strap type while not interfering much with your grip or wrist mobility. SUPPORT, STABILITY, AND STRENGTH: Bear Grip weight lifting straps support your hands, wrists, and forearms for heavy deadlifts, rows, weight chin-ups, pull-ups, shrugs, dumbbell squats, and all CrossFit training. With so many different kinds of lifting straps available, we had a lot of digging to do. We considered and tested out the design, durability, and price when deciding which straps were our favorites. Although this product is one of the best straps for weight lifting, it’s under 10 inches long. It won’t give you as much grip support as other straps. However, it’s great if you don’t want to develop strap reliance before competitions. Image via BarbendThere are three common types of straps, and they include single-loop, lasso, and figure 8. Each has different attributes that will benefit a strength athlete in different scenarios. LassoIf you prefer a more premium look and feel, you could consider a leather strap; however, I don’t believe it performs any better than a nylon lifting strap.

As you know, there are multiple types of straps. However, the most crucial part of the straps’ design is that they’re ergonomic with a snug fit to do their job efficiently. Padding If you’re doing sustained movements like farmer carries, you might want to look at a more secure strap, like a figure 8. Each type of lifting strap has a unique way of using it. Ideally, you’d start by finding the right type of lifting strap for your needs. Also, you should avoid wearing them for the wrong exercise. The leather strap feels soft and comfortable on the wrist while lifting. You won’t experience any chafing or skin irritation.According to a few customers, the straps can sometimes feel stiff when first using them, making it harder to wrap them around the bar and tighten them around your wrist. However, we didn’t find this to be the case. If you run into this issue, the problem will subside as the straps are used because they’ll become more flexible and pliable. The DMOOSE Figure 8 Lifting Straps are made of high-quality cotton that’s soft and durable. Cotton is breathable and doesn’t irritate your skin or cause excessive sweating, so you’ll have a better grip whether you’re lifting a barbell, kettlebell, or axle bar. Lifting straps are easy to use once you've mastered putting them on. 'There are many different wrapping techniques depending on the straps you are using, and various brands may have slight variations,' says Smith. 'I will assume that, like me, your preference is loop straps.' Unfortunately, when our product tester opened the bag, they were surprised that the Harbingers had some loose threads and burs. The straps performed without any issues for a few weeks during barbell workouts, but these imperfections made our tester a bit concerned about how the straps would do after a year.
