What Are Weight Lifting Straps?
Weight lifting straps are strips of fabric that exercisers or bodybuilders may wear around their wrists and over the hands to get a better grip on weights when lifting. Also known as lifting straps, powerlifting straps, weight training straps and weight straps, they’re commonly used during more intense lifting exercises such as deadlifts and heavy dumbbell presses. The straps are normally made of a non-stretching material such as nylon, cotton, leather or suede and have a loop on one end. They are secured by pulling one end of the strap through the loop located on the other end.
