How should I wash the Lifting Straps?
We recommend hand washing the lifting straps with warm water and a mild detergent, and allow the straps to air dry laying on a towel (the towel will help absorb water from the straps so they do not sit in water) or by hanging the straps to dry.
What are the differences between the Lifting Straps?
The SBD lifting straps are available in two styles, as traditional lifting straps and as figure 8 lifting straps. Both styles feature our proprietary webbing which offers greater strength than a nylon wrap, whilst providing the comfort and flexibility of a cotton wrap. The lifting straps come in a universal size and can be adjusted to your desired tightness around your wrists and the bar. The figure 8 lifting straps are available in three fixed sizes, allowing you to choose the best size for your hand and style of lifting.
Which lifting straps should I choose?
The lifting straps provide a strong grip for any pulling movement, while also allowing a quick release. The figure 8 lifting straps use our patent-pending design which chokes the strap to the wrist during the lift, locking the athlete to the bar. This security allows the athlete to disengage the arms, reducing any load through the biceps and maximising the lever arm, for maximum strength or reps. The lifting straps are versatile and can be easily used for a number of exercises and general training. The figure 8 straps are most suited to deadlift training and other strongman events.
What exercises can I use the Lifting Straps for?
The lifting straps are typically used to eliminate grip as a limiting factor when deadlifting. They can also be wrapped around other bars, handles or attachments for a number of different pulling movements, to lift greater loads without being limited by your grip strength, and to reduce stress on the biceps.
