Adidas Lifting Straps, Black/pink

Adidas lifting straps – a firmer grip during heavy pull movements

Adidas Lifting Straps are lifting straps that help you hold on to the bar or handle more firmly even when a set gets heavy. According to the manufacturer, the straps are designed to create and maintain a stronger grip and to reduce grip fatigue. This lets you focus on your technique and finish the set even when your hands start to tire. The straps are intended above all for heavy pull movements such as deadlifts, rows and pull-ups. In this product, the straps come in a black and pink colour combination and are sold as a pair – the set contains two straps, one for each hand.

Traction lines and 5 mm wrist padding

The surface of the straps features printed traction lines which, according to the manufacturer, give your grip extra hold and help keep every rep consistent. Across the wrist there is 5 mm thick foam padding that makes the straps more comfortable to wear even during longer and heavier sessions. The straps are made from a durable material blend intended for regular use in the gym. The compact straps fit easily into a gym bag, so you can always take them along and use them in exactly those exercises where your grip tires sooner than the rest of your body.

How to use?

Place the strap around your wrist so that the padded part sits on top of the wrist. Wrap the free end of the strap around the bar or handle, tighten it slightly and then grip the bar as usual. Repeat with the other hand and, before starting the movement, check that both straps are evenly tight and the bar sits firmly in your hands. The straps are intended mainly for heavy pull movements, for example deadlifts, barbell or dumbbell rows and pull-ups. After training, let the straps air dry.
