What are lifting straps for?
Lifting straps are solid straps designed to provide a more comfortable grip so that you can fully focus on executing each exercise correctly. Once you use them you will find them to be indispensable for certain exercises such as deadlifts and rowing exercises.
How to correctly put on the lifting strap with wrist support
- Adjust the elastic band around your wrist, and make sure that everything is tight.
- Slip the end of the strap into the buckle to create a loop through which you can pass your hand.
- Once your hand is in the strap, check that the remaining length fits well in your palm; it should pass between your thumb and index finger.
- Next place your hands on the bar and wrap the remaining length around the bar.
- Rest your hand on the strap.
- Repeat the same steps with the other hand.
Safety and max load
Our lifting straps are specially designed to support a max total weight of 250 kg (125 kg per strap).
Equip yourself correctly to work out safely
During your lifting exercises (such as the deadlift), we recommend using a leather weight training belt (item 8649025) or a dual-fastener belt (item 8649022) to provide extra support for your abdominal and lumbar muscles. This will help you increase the intra-abdominal pressure.

Our trainer's advice for improving your training (2/2)
For each exercise, start with the minimum recommended number of reps (take care not to lift to failure; always leave yourself a margin of 2 reps below your max), then increase by one rep a week until you reach the max recommended number of reps. Next, increase the weight on the bar. Whenever you add more weight to the bar, start again at the minimum recommended number of reps, and incrementially increase until you reach the recommended maximum.
