Our straps were designed to be a quality product. They are constructed with a heavyweight, premium quality cotton material which is both soft to the touch, while remaining strong and durable.
These Entry Level straps were designed to complement our best selling Heavy Duty straps, by bringing the benefits of the Figure 8 design to a wider audience. They are not as bulky as the heavy duty straps, but by adding neoprene pads, we have maintained comfort levels.
We have kept some of the design elements, such as the binding stitches on the ends of the strap material, and the mutli-directional stitching on the combined end/cross over joint in the middle of the 8.
The IRON APE Figure 8 double loop Deadlifting Straps have been designed with function over form in mind. This style of strap locks your hands firmly onto the bar, so you can fully concentrate on the pull, without worrying about your grip.
The Figure 8 design is much quicker to get set up than the traditional style lifting straps – no more worrying about wrapping the strap around the bar multiple times, then having to wind the tension up. Just slip one hand through one half of the strap, pass the other end under the bar, then pass your hand through the other half. Now LIFT.
The IRON APE design is more comfortable than some alternative designs of lifting straps, such as hook grips/straps. This is because with our straps, your hand is still in direct contact with the bar while lifting. You do not have an extra, unwanted layer, or anything that you have to carefully place your fingers around before lifting.
