Figure 8 Lifting Straps

Our Figure 8 Lifting Straps are designed to provide a secure, passive grip connection between the wrists and the barbell or other pulling apparatus. The figure-8 loop design threads around both the bar and the wrist, meaning the lifter remains attached to the bar even if grip strength is lost — unlike traditional looped straps. This makes them particularly useful for heavy deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts, shrugs and lat pull-down variations where grip may be the limiting factor.

By taking grip out of the equation, figure 8 lifting straps allow the target muscles — particularly the back, hamstrings and traps — to be trained to their capacity without premature grip fatigue. The inner loop length is 10cm or 17cm from loop end to centre, accommodating a range of bar diameters and hand sizes. Constructed in black from durable, wrist-friendly material.

Includes two straps per pack. Figure 8 straps are most suitable for experienced lifters using near-maximal loads. They are not typically recommended for Olympic lifts such as the clean and snatch, where a quick bar release may be required. Combine with a lifting belt and wrist wraps for full upper and lower back support during heavy pulling sessions.
