RDX S4 Silicone Gel Coated Non-slip Solid Grip Weight Lifting Gym Straps - Red

RDX S4 lifting straps – non-slip grip with silicone gel coating

RDX S4 are cotton gym lifting straps whose grip section is covered with non-slip silicone gel coated dots. The strap is wrapped around the bar or dumbbell handle so that your grip on the weight stays solid even during longer and more intense training sessions. According to the manufacturer, the straps are 60 cm long, the wrist section has 5 mm thick neoprene padding and a Grip Flex™ wrist pad is included. Strong industrial-grade stitching holds the strap together even during the heaviest lifts. Sportlab sells the red colour version.

Cotton and a silicone gel coated grip surface

The main material of the strap is high-quality cotton. According to the manufacturer, the straps are made of comfortable, durable materials and can handle intense deadlifting and powerlifting sessions without tearing or cracking. The grip section of the strap has a rubberized dot pattern coated with silicone gel. The non-slip surface holds on to the bar and keeps the strap in place, so there are no slippery surprises during the lift. The sweat-wicking material keeps the wrist area fresher during training. The wrist section is padded with 5 mm thick neoprene, and the ergonomic cut keeps the strap correctly positioned on the wrist.

How to use?

Place the strap around your wrist so that the padded section sits against your skin. Then wrap the free end of the strap around the bar or handle and tighten it by rolling the bar towards you until the strap sits tightly around the bar. Thanks to the 60 cm length, the strap covers both your wrist and the bar without having to stretch it. According to the manufacturer, the straps suit various weightlifting exercises, such as deadlifts and dumbbell curls. Before starting a heavy set, do a few lighter reps to get used to the straps and find the wrapping method that suits you. After training, let the straps air dry.
