Adidas Lifting Straps, Black/white

Adidas Lifting Straps – black and white straps for a firmer grip

Adidas Lifting Straps are lifting straps that help create and maintain a firmer grip in heavy pull exercises. According to adidas, the straps help reduce grip fatigue, so you can do extra reps and stay focused on your form throughout the set. Traction lines printed on the straps add grip confidence on the bar, and 5 mm thick foam padding at the wrist makes the straps more comfortable to wear. The set contains two straps, i.e. one pair. Sportlab sells the black and white colour option.

Durable material and 5 mm foam padding

According to adidas, the lifting straps are made from a highly durable material blend. The manufacturer does not publish the exact material composition on its website. At the wrist there is 5 mm thick foam padding that softens the contact between the strap and the wrist and makes the straps more comfortable during longer workouts as well. Traction lines are printed on the gripping surface of the strap; they add grip confidence where the strap meets the bar and help keep your grip consistent from set to set.

How to use?

Place the strap around your wrist so that the padded part sits on the wrist. Wrap the free end of the strap around the bar or pull handle and tighten it until the grip feels firm. Then grip the bar as usual and start the movement. According to adidas, the straps are especially well suited to heavy pull movements such as deadlifts, rows and pull-ups. After the set, unwrap the strap from the bar so your hands can rest freely.
