There are three main types of lifting straps – closed loop, or Olympic lifting straps; lasso, or loop straps; and figure 8 lifting straps. Here's what you need to know. Lasso Lifting Straps On the comfort side, these straps also feature five-millimeter neoprene padding around the wrist to help increase comfort and prevent pinching of the skin and bruising. Plus, the seam of the straps is at the top of the loop to prevent chafing, too.Since bodybuilding workouts tend to be longer than other kinds of training, a good set of lifting straps needs to be comfortable, as well as supportive. After taking these through a few high-volume workouts, we found Iron Bull Classic lifting straps to be a great choice, thanks to the neoprene cushioning and reliable lasso-style design. We’ve used these for years, and the straps have proven to be comfortable for everything from banging out high-rep sets of dumbbell rows to sets of trap bar shrugs to failure.

This is because it doesn’t matter how strong your body is, if your hands can’t hold onto the barbell then you’ll always be limited by your grip over anything else. This problem is worse for people with smaller hands.

The 18-inch length might be too short for lifters with big wrists or those who want a more secure grip. Heavy pulls like hang cleansand deadliftscan put a lot of stress on lifting straps, especially when you use a bar that has moderate to intense knurling. Rubbing the straps consistently against knurling can damage and weaken lifting straps, which is why we’re fans of the heavy-duty nylon material used in these straps from Iron Bull. Their 24-inch length — which is about six inches longer than the standard pair — also contributes to the durability of these straps. The extra length means you can loop the strap around the bar more (and therefore distribute the weight more) than you would with, say, an 18-inch strap. In our experience, we saw zero fraying of the straps, however, we don’t know how they would hold up with long-term use. Whether you’re looking for your first pair of lifting straps or you’re an advanced lifter looking to boost your training, there are some considerations to keep in mind when making your investment. Here are a few of the important ones. Primary Use Lifting straps also increase the amount of weight you can lift. 'Lifting straps make holding heavy objects easier by improving grip strength, minimising fatigue and thereby building strength, particularly on pulling movements,' says Smith. 'Typically, they are used on heavy sets only, and not so much during warm up sets or lighter sets.'

There are also different types of fabrics that make up lifting straps, including cotton, nylon, leather, and other poly-mix materials. The materials affect the durability of a lifting strap, so we made sure to try out heavy-duty products. Most lifting straps are made of cotton and nylon but you can also find leather and suede varieties. The most durable straps are made of reinforced polyester blends or cross-stitched cotton, and our testers definitely gave those a try.

Second, the actual straps are great. On the one hand, yes, they are just straps with some clips and slotted metal, but they are brilliantly designed. Like so many good designs they make it all look so obviously simple. The D’Addario Planet Waves Ukulele Strap ( Guitar Center) is an eco-friendly product. They use plastic water bottles to construct the entire adjustable strap with a sound hole attachment. In my opinion, the only exercise you’ll get a big benefit from using lifting hooks is deadlifts. You won’t see Olympic weightlifters use lifting hooks for exercises like the snatch or clean and jerk.

However, it’s important that at the same time you use lifting straps or hooks while working out, you also start training your grip more specifically (using hand grippers) so that you can improve your natural gripping abilities. Hooks are mostly used by beginner lifters who aren’t yet lifting a lot of weight (less than 300lbs). For some smaller individuals and women, they may never lift over 300lbs, and lifting hooks would be perfectly suitable for their entire lifting career. They are extremely strong and are therefore one the most effective methods to tie down extremely heavy items.
