Power System XTR-GRIP STRAPS

Power System XTR-Grip – lifting straps with a silicone anti-slip layer

Power System XTR-Grip Straps are a pair of lifting straps for weight training which, according to the manufacturer, are designed for a firm, non-slip grip. The straps are made of strong cotton fabric, they have a silicone anti-slip layer and soft neoprene padding at the wrist. Double stitching gives the straps a long service life. The manufacturer presents XTR-Grip primarily as deadlift straps, but they can also be used in other exercises where you need to hold a barbell, dumbbell or cable handle firmly. The set contains one pair, i.e. one strap for each hand. The straps are red and the pair weighs about 120 grams, so they fit easily into any gym bag.

Cotton, silicone and neoprene

The main part of the strap is made of strong cotton fabric that is flexible and easy to wrap around a bar or handle. The silicone anti-slip layer helps the strap stay in place on the bar, so your grip stays firm throughout the whole set. At the wrist there is soft neoprene padding that makes the straps more comfortable to wear, even during longer workouts. Double stitching holds the material layers together and makes the straps durable for repeated use.

How to use?

Place the strap around your wrist so that the neoprene padding rests against the wrist and the free end of the strap is on the palm side. Put your hand on the bar, wrap the free end of the strap around the bar from below and tighten it by rolling the bar towards you until the grip is firm. Then grip the bar as usual and start the exercise. After the set, release the grip by rolling the bar in the opposite direction. If you are using lifting straps for the first time, practise putting them on with a lighter weight before moving on to heavier sets. After training, let the straps air dry.
