Better than my old pair

By: Marigold Chen

I had a cheap set of lifting straps that were starting to fray so decided to upgrade. These feel much more substantial and the stitching looks good. I've been using them for heavy dumbbell rows and barbell work. Very happy so far.

Very secure on the bar

By: Odette Banks

Really like how these attach to the bar. There's a little bit of a learning curve if you've never used figure 8 straps before, but it's easy enough once you get the hang of it. Nice solid construction too.

Good for high volume pulling

By: Keaton Underwood

I do quite a few sets of rows and shrugs during my back sessions and my hands usually start struggling towards the end. These have helped me keep going without grip being the main issue.

Tough as nails

Comfortable enough for heavy sets

By: Nerissa Colebrook

The material is nice and wide so they don't feel like they're cutting into my wrists. There's still some pressure when pulling really heavy, but nothing unexpected. Really pleased with how secure they feel.

Happy I switched

By: Luca Bradshaw

I wasn't sure about figure 8 straps at first because I'd only ever used the regular style. After a few workouts I really started liking them for deadlifts.
