These Figure Eight Straps for Weight Lifting are made from neoprene-padded cotton and polyester material, offering a blend of comfort, durability, and anti-slip functionality. Lightweight and eco-friendly, they support various applications including gym workouts, strength training, and universal use. The straps are customizable with logos and come in a compact 35x4.5x0.5cm size, packaged individually in OPP bags.
The Figure-8 Wrist Wrap is a specialized training aid designed for heavy compound movements. Its structure resembles the number "8," providing dual fixation for the wrist and palm. It transfers the load from barbells or pull-up bars away from the fingers to the forearms, reducing form breakdown caused by grip strength limitations ️. Particularly in exercises like deadlifts, pull-ups, and lat pulldowns, it significantly enhances grip stability, allowing trainees to focus more effectively on engaging the target muscle groups.
How do figure 8 straps differ from standard lifting straps?
Figure 8 designs lock the bar into place mechanically: the loop around the bar and wrist creates a fixed connection, so you don’t need to squeeze the bar to maintain control. Standard straps rely on friction (between the strap and bar) and require active grip to keep the bar secure. This makes figure 8 straps better for maximal weights (85%+ of 1-rep max) where grip strength is a bottleneck, but less versatile for dynamic movements (e.g., cleans, snatches) that require releasing the bar quickly. Standard straps are more flexible for a wider range of exercises, but figure 8 straps excel at deadlifts and heavy pulls.
Can beginners use these straps safely?
Yes, but we recommend learning proper deadlift form without straps first—typically 4-6 weeks of light to moderate deadlifts (60-70% of max load) to build foundational grip strength and master hip hinge mechanics. Once technique is mastered, figure 8 straps help beginners build confidence with heavier weights (75%+ of max) by eliminating grip anxiety. Beginners should start with lighter loads when using the straps to get used to the mechanical lock—avoiding maximal lifts until they’re comfortable with how the straps feel.
Are they suitable for other exercises besides deadlifts?
They work well for shrugs (barbell or dumbbell), heavy bent-over rows (barbell or cable), and trap bar carries—movements where the bar stays in a fixed position relative to the body. However, they’re too specialized for movements requiring bar rotation (e.g., cleans, snatches) or quick releases (e.g., kettlebell swings), as the figure 8 loop can’t be removed quickly. They’re also not ideal for overhead presses, as the loop may restrict wrist movement during the lift.
