Fitness-Mad Padded Weightlifting Straps

If you love lifting heavy weights, the Fitness-Mad Padded Weightlifting Straps are for you. They help to provide a more secure grip on the bar as well as reducing pressure on your wrists and forearms as you lift. By cushioning strain and preventing injury, the straps enable you to focus on perfecting your lifting form.

Who Can Make Gains with the Fitness-Mad Padded Weightlifting Straps?

Wrist straps essentially work by supporting the weak point of your grip. They offer extra grip, reducing pressure on your wrists and forearms to minimise hand fatigue. This will enable you to lift heavier weights for longer, enhancing your workout to maximise gains.

Key Features and Benefits

• One-size-fits-most design for comfortable wear
• Padded straps to cushion strain
• Heavy-duty cotton for durability and strong hold

How Do I Use Wrist Straps?

Simply put each loop around your wrists, and wrap the loose ends around the barbell or dumbbell. The wrap should be looped underneath the bar rather than over the top. This will create a connection between your hands and the weight that is much stronger than using your fingers alone. Wearing the Fitness-Mad Straps will enable you to lift heavier weights and reduce risk of injury. 

When Should I Use Lifting Straps?

We recommend wearing straps when you are performing pulling movement with maximal or near-maximal weights, such as deadlifts, rows and power cleans. This is because your grip can easily give out during those last few painful reps, resulting in hand and wrist strain. Please be aware that straps are not beneficial when you are pressing weight away from you.
