SERIOUS STEEL FITNESS Red Figure 8 Lifting Straps | Deadlift & Strongman Axle Straps - 3 Sizes

Overall: The lifting straps feel SOLID AF. Not some flimsy ass cloth material but like tough fire hose cloth. They definitely feel like quality material and will stand the test of time. Currently using it on my top sets ranging from 170 lbs to 360 lbs and not frays have been seen. Will continue to update as time passes.Pros:- Thick and heavy. Just how I like my.. lol jk. Quality lifting straps you won't regret buying- The logo looks cool af unlike other generic brand that say some cringe stuff like "lifting <3"Cons:- You gotta break them in or you'll break your wrists. They are stiff AF when I first got them. I wrapped them around a barbell and used straight bar to twist them to break them in.- Tough and rough. Say good bye to your baby smooth skin on your wrist from the roughness of the straps and the pure and innocent skin on the inside/outside of your thighs when you deadlift heavier than ever (don't discriminate on conv vs sumo).- The style of the straps (fig. 8) aren't the best for every exercise since the straps may leave too much play or take up too much space (d rings). I usually swap between the other straps that wrap around bars.

I am a strongman competitor. I ordered these to replace an older pair of figure 8 straps of the same brand. I deadlift a lot and frequently use these several times a week. They are good, solid straps. They are stiff so it takes a few uses to break them in. The measurements are accurate. Overall, functional and strong, buy them.

About 6 months using- feedback-Super heavy duty construction, stitching and cloth thickness. Takes very little getting used to. I have abnormally large hands, way past XL glove size so not much works for me. These have really helped both my endurance and overall weight on deadlift and lat pulldowns. Its really important to know you cant drop a weight with these so I plan my descent but I never thought dropping weight was good form anyway. On the lat pulldowns its helped me go way beyond my past max weight. Ill do warm up sets and about half my working sets wo them then switch to them....this way forearm strength doesnt weaken but my overall focus on the move itself winds up being way more in both sets and reps than I could do wo them. Want to increase gains and endurance-get these.

The straps are made of high quality material. I sent back the 70cm straps for a smaller size since my wrist size is between both. The 60cm size feels awkward and makes it tough to get a consistent hand position. Not sure what I was expecting, but I’m going back to a simple nylon lifting strap.

I use these straps for deadlifting. Originally, I was using a mixed grip and liquid chalk because the bar was slipping out of my hands when was doing double overhand grip (when I lift I pick a weight where I can only do 3 reps max and I lift until failure). However, I decided to switch to straps because I was experiencing strain on my biceps. Anyways, these straps are very durable and they allow me to grip the bar stronger than I could using mixed grip. There's no longer any strain on my biceps either and my hands which normally would get really sweaty without chalk stay dry when using these straps. The shipping process is also very fast. I did standard shipping and I received my order the very next day. I'm very impressed with this company and their product.

Love these straps. Great quality material to enhance my lifting experience. Love the color, too!

I've had these for maybe 3 months now. They're supposedly rated for 1000+ lbs. My joke at the gym when other people see these things is "it must be rated for 1000+ lbs, ONCE." I deadlift 3x a week with no more than 550 lbs, they're nearly completely ripped apart at the middle, I'll have to attach a photo later. On a positive note, there's nothing that can beat this style of lifting straps. There might be more durable brands out there, but these figure 8 things are a game changer. As soon as one of these finally snap in half, I'm definitely ordering more. You'll never miss a lift because of grip with these.

So these straps are EXACTLY what I needed. Was doing a switch grip on deadlifts and would consistently give out after 5 reps at anything above 300lbs. Failed on max lifts because left hand was weak. Well first time using these straps and bam new PR. My wrists are right on 6.75inches so I went to medium size. They seem big but if you wrap them right and create side tension between wrists and the bar there will be no slack. Also some reviews said you cant wrap your thumbs around the bar.... that is not true. Either they are not using the straps properly or got the wrong size. Also some people said they cant do switch grips deadlifts anymore. Well thats kind of the point of these is to eliminate that and do a conventional deadlift with palms facing the body. Its more natural positioning for your arms neck and shoulder muscles and allows you to focus solely on lifting the most weight you can possibly pull. Very good purchase!
