Complete Guide to LIFTING STRAPS - How, Why, When to Use!

Learn how to use WRIST STRAPS aka lifting straps. Straps are a great option for deadlifts and other pulling exercises when grip becomes the limiting factor from lifting heavier weights.
Be careful that your lifting straps don't become a crutch - the deadlift is a grip exercise as much as it is a full body exercise. Only use straps for your heaviest sets (such as rack pulls) or sets with a high number of reps (such as Romanian deadlifts).

Lol, I'm using soft loop straps. They'd technically work if my hands were tiny, but my hands are in fact big. I knew a lifting strap was built similarly, but i couldn't get them to work with shrugs so I ended up here.

@sailbatten2056 2 жыл бұрын

Anthony, wrapping it around the bar multiple times (either way) also prevents you from a quick release, which is really not what you want in power lifting. In a panic injury situation, the last thing in the world you want is to be lashed to the bar to any extent for 5 seconds longer than necessary. So besides from being functionally the right thing (wrapping under once, against the curl of the hand) it's a little dangerous to wrap many times. As for the length; My only guess about that over the years is that if they didn't, they wouldn't sell because of all the people misunderstanding them. Also, once in a great while you'll have a bar that has smoothed over in a way that chalk simply doesn't help; The knurling is either gone or in the wrong place. In that case, a _single additional_ wrap is necessary. Cotton against steel doesn't always behave. Though even then, the length is silly.

@@xGaviJax Maybe so they don't "uncurl" after one wraparound. If it's too short, the stiffness would easily pull it back over the bar (at least with the leather ones), which would be annoying.

I've got nerve issues from my military service and that has definitely affected my grip strength; I can't hold a bar with over 250 on it for more than 8 reps at a time now. I have been doing a slow buildup of weight using a 5-3-1 plan, and I've gotten to exactly the point where alternating grips are insufficient during the heavy sets, so I just invested in some straps because the weight itself is not the problem. I got them out of the package, put them on, and realized I had no clue what I was doing! Thanks for the helpful video!

Thank you so much for uploading this, by far the best explanation I've found. Just ordered my first set of straps since my grip is quite weak and I'm starting to pull 140kg regularly and losing my grip is causing me to finish my sets often even though I feel like I have more in the tank. I also feel my weak grip is stopping me having the confidence to push for 150 and above.
