Fitgriff Straps, Gym weightlifting straps
These lifting straps are designed for pulling movements such as deadlifts, rows, or heavy pull-ups, aiming to offload the forearms and secure the bar when grip falls short. The loop-style strap allows quick, stable tightening, and the wrist padding is intended for long sessions without discomfort. The brand offers a version with silicone threads that increase friction on the bar and another in classic fabric for those who prefer a more direct feel. Reinforced stitching and dense cotton provide a solid feel; several users remark that the fabric is firm from day one. There are two sizes to better adapt the fit to small or more voluminous hands. The proposition is clear: simple, durable, and comfortable to add reps when grip strength is the bottleneck.
- Fast, stable setup. The loop locks easily and keeps the bar under control even when forearm fatigue kicks in. Ideal if you want ease of use and fuss-free tightening.
- Thoughtful comfort. The neoprene padding protects the wrist and prevents chafing; the feel is firm yet gentle—perfect for long sessions where comfort and padding make the difference.
- Materials and stitching that last. The fabric is dense, the reinforced seams inspire confidence, and the strap does not deform easily.
- Grip that helps. The silicone version adds extra traction on the bar; if you prefer a classic feel, the non-silicone option maintains good grip and traction without gimmicks.
- Fit on very slim wrists. Some people with very thin wrists find it hard to cinch fully on first use; after a few sessions, the fabric loosens slightly and the hold improves. Try the small size if you’re between two.
- Sweat and loss of friction. With very wet hands, the grip may drop—common in straps without a tacky surface. Choose the silicone version or use chalk to keep traction consistent.
- Initial stiffness. The fabric starts firm and may feel “stiff” the first days; that stiffness is what later provides stability. Knead it a bit before training to soften it without losing support.
- Simple, repeatable setup that facilitates technique.
- Wrist padding that is kind to the skin in long sessions.
- Dense fabric and reinforced seams with a solid feel.
- Silicone option for more traction without changing technique.
- May not cinch perfectly on extremely slim wrists.
- With abundant sweat, grip requires silicone or chalk.
If you do heavy pulls, want to increase reps without your forearms holding you back, and value hassle-free tightening, these straps fit you well. They work very well for deadlifts, rows, or weighted pull-ups, and let you focus on your back while grip stops being the limit. Tip: if you train on a smooth bar or sweat a lot, choose the silicone version for an extra bit of safety without changing your routine. In short, a tool that supports you rather than distracts you.
