Why Every Lifter Should Use Lifting Straps

If your grip gives out before your muscles do, you’re leaving gains on the table. Lifting straps fix that. Whether you're chasing PBs or building your back, they help you lift heavier, go longer and train smarter.

Let’s break down the benefits.

Lift Heavier. Period.
A 2011 study found lifters pulled up to 20% more weight using straps versus bare hands.
More load means more strength. Straps lock your grip, so you’re not failing early from sweaty palms or tired forearms.

More Reps, More Results
The same study showed lifters pushed out extra reps per set.
That’s real volume — and it adds up fast. On high-rep sets, straps help you finish strong instead of fizzling out.

Target the Right Muscles
EMG studies show better activation in your lats and traps during rows and pull-ups when using straps.
Why? Because you’re not distracted by grip fatigue — you’re focused on pulling hard and clean.

Stay in Control
When grip slips, form suffers. Straps stabilise your hold so you can maintain proper form and reduce injury risk.
No more cheating reps or cutting sets short.

Train Longer with Less Strain
Your wrists and forearms aren’t built to carry the full load.
Straps spread the tension, giving smaller joints a break and letting your bigger muscles do the work.
