IronMind Strong-Enough Lifting Straps, Blue, Pair

These are exactly the ones I wanted and work like the old school wraps I used to have in college.

I've owned many sets of lifting straps. To be perfectly honest, I am too picky about my straps so I have ordered my fair share searching for that "one" perfect strap. This is as close as I have come. The seat belt like material is easy on the wrist & while providing great grip on the bar, it does NOT snag when you release your grip. The straps will just slide off of the bar. This is especially great on pull down type movements as when straps snag they tend to pull the bar down into one's head. Lol The width of the strap is also perfect. GREAT STRAPS, GET THEM.

Honestly great. My gym has versa grips, which are supposed to be premium. These are so much better. A year of deadlifts and barely show wear.

Perfect. No bells or whistles - no levers, comfort padding, etc. If you know - you know.

The best thing about these straps is that they seem to be the only ones made with the loop sewn on correctly. What I mean by this is that every other strap I've used (and I've used many...been lifting since 1978) has sewn the loop so that the sewn edge digs mercilessly into your wrists when using heavy weights. Strong Enough straps have flipped the loop back and sewn it together so the "edge" is on the outside of your wrist, not against it. It's kind of hard to explain unless you have used other straps that dig into your wrists when your moving heavy steel. These straps are by far the best I have ever used. Can't recommend them enough. No wonder the WSM guys prefer them. I was just trying a different pair the other day that are infused with rubber. They were suppose to be technologically better and more comfortable than any other straps available today. Bottom line...they suck. Again they sew the loop together so the edge of the loop digs into your wrist. They nearly broke skin on me. Buy Strong Enough Straps!

So far, so good!

TL;DR: Stop searching. Get this. I am not a paid spokesperson and I did not get this as a test piece or for free So I am an "amateur" weightlifter with a middle-age dad bod :-) ... I do it for strength and conditioning, not to compete. As I neared my body-weight in lifts, my grip wasn't strong enough to maintain stability. I started having calluses and I couldn't push through the last 20 lbs or so. I switched grips from overhand to mixed but could tell the difference between both hands. It always felt like the weight was barely hanging from my fingertips. I was advised using a strap with hooks, but somehow that felt like cheating and I wasn't sure what that would do to my wrist form long term. So I decided to use these straps with the thought that I am not using any "tools" and that I still need good form with wrists to use these. After getting used to wrapping them in the first lift, I *easily* blew past the last 20 lbs of my body weight, with a feeling that I could probably go another 25lbs or so at current level (obviously 1RM went up similarly too). That is just amazing to me!! The wrist doesn't feel any unwanted tension and is compressed nicely enough to not unduly stretch the palm or fingers out i.e. it doesn't feel like a fingertip hang. The reason why I give it 4 stars is that the strap is a wee bit slippery - it might just be that I have to use it with chalk and it'll be fine but I am assuming there's some way to make it less slippery during manufacturing. Otherwise, it seems this can last forever and, with practice, I should be able to wrap it around nicely and more compactly for even better lifts.

good

These are the best straps I've ever owned, there's a reason so many strongman and powerlifters use them. Maybe don't drag them across the knurling and they won't fray, I wouldn't listen to those reviews, treat your equipment well and it lasts.

Very Happy with the Straps, as advertised.

Still using after 1 year. Strong and reliable.

It’s uncomfortable to wear and lift

Great item and exactly what you need for a good workout
