Lifting Straps
We have introduced our own range of lifting straps for only $15.
Why use straps?
If you lose your grip on heavy hang power cleans, deadlifts or chins, use straps to ensure the workout of the big muscles is not circumvented by the weakness of the grip. Basically, your fingers will give out before your legs or back are finished, so unless you have chalk (yeah, most gyms will allow you to spread chalk all over the place, no worries at all…), then you need straps to help hold onto the bar. You need chalk or straps to pull heavy weights.
How to use straps
- Turn the tail towards the eye-hole and thread through, one to the left & right
- The strap that was turned to the right is for the right hand and vice versa for the left.
- The photos show how to put the straps together. When wrapping them around a bar, make sure the tail goes on the opposite side of the bar from your hand. Pull it in tight.
