Figure 8 Lifting Straps for Deadlift | Heavy Pull Straps

Figure 8 Lifting Straps are designed for heavy pulling exercises such as deadlifts and shrugs. They wrap around both the wrist and the bar to lock your grip when the weight exceeds what your fingers can hold.

They suit advanced lifters whose grip gives out before the target muscle tires, and they come as a pair with a double-loop design that gives a firmer hold than traditional straps.

What Is a Figure 8 Lifting Strap?

Figure 8 Lifting Straps are a training accessory made of two connected loops: one hand goes through one loop, and the other loop wraps under the bar and back around the same wrist. With this design part of the load is carried through the wrist instead of the fingers, which is why they are used for deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts, shrugs and heavy pulls.

A Stronger Hold Than Regular Straps

Traditional straps rely on wrapping a strip around the bar, while the figure 8 design locks a loop around both the bar and the wrist, reducing the chance of the bar slipping with heavy weights.

For Deadlifts and Heavy Pulls

Made for exercises with a big load and a fixed movement, such as deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts, shrugs and rack pulls, where grip is often the first thing to fail.

Less Pressure on the Fingers

By moving part of the load to the wrist, you need less finger squeeze, so you can focus on the target muscles in the back and legs.

Easy On and Off With Practice

After practicing with a light weight, the loops become quick to put on and take off between sets.
