The Gymreapers Figure 8 Lifting Straps provide a specialized solution for athletes focused on maximal deadlifts and strongman training. The figure 8 design creates an exceptionally secure connection to the bar, effectively removing grip as a limiting factor. Available in three sizes, they accommodate different wrist circumferences for a customized fit. Made from thick cotton with heavy cross-stitching, these straps boast a 1000+ pound weight capacity while maintaining flexibility. The design allows direct contact with the bar's knurling, preferred by many powerlifters for better feedback.
While not as versatile as lasso straps for exercises like rows or pull-ups, they excel at their intended purpose of heavy pulling movements. The lifetime replacement guarantee ensures long-term value, though the specialized nature means they won't replace traditional straps for most users. Some may find the angle of tension uncomfortable on the inner wrists, particularly during extended sets. Ideal for powerlifters and strongman competitors who prioritize absolute security over versatility.
