Power System Lifting Straps Duplex – two-layer cotton lifting straps

Power System Lifting Straps Duplex are two-layer lifting straps for gym training, made for lifters whose grip tends to give out before the rest of the body in heavy pulling exercises. The manufacturer describes them as strong and durable training straps that, thanks to their two layers, are considerably stronger than ordinary single-layer straps. The main purpose of lifting straps is to help stabilise your grip comfortably and effectively, so you can hold the bar firmly and work with heavier weights. The straps are made of strong cotton and are sold as a pair.

Two-layer cotton strap

The word Duplex in the name refers to the construction of the strap: it consists of two layers, which according to the manufacturer gives it considerably greater strength. The material is strong, thick cotton that stands up to repeated use. The manufacturer highlights that the material is durable and non-slip, so the strap wrapped around the bar stays in place during the lift. A cotton strap feels comfortable in the hand and can be wrapped around the bar and pulled to the required tension. According to the manufacturer, the product weighs 0.22 kg, so the straps fit easily in a gym bag.

How to use?

Place the strap around your wrist so that the free end lies on the palm side, and wrap it around the bar in the direction of your grip. Pull the strap tight on the bar, then grip the bar firmly together with the strap. Use the straps mainly in heavier sets where your grip would otherwise limit the exercise, and also train with lighter weights without straps. Before lifting, check that both straps are evenly tight. After training, let the straps air dry.
