You see athletes at the gym using lifting straps especially while performing heavy compound exercises that require strong grip strength. Straps are often used for dead-lifts, lat machine pull-downs, dumbbell squats, lunges and bent-over rows etc.
Lifting straps provide additional support when lifting heavy by wrapping around your wrist and wrapping around the barbell, dumbbell or machine. Effectively, you are strapping your hands to the equipment so you can't let go, even after your grip gives out.
There are two main types of straps, the figure 8 lifting strap (also known as the double loop lifting strap); and the single loop style.
Figure 8 lifting straps can also be used as a single loop strap by only placing your wrist through one loop.
Eat Me Supplements double loop lifting straps are an essential training aid when working your back muscles or engaging in any pulling exercise like deadlifts, lat pull downs and bent over rows.
Constructed from tough cotton with comfortable foam padding precisely where it's needed. You can expect an increase in strength gains and more reps as your power is no longer limited to your grip strength and your feeble little fingers. You'll lift more weight and make sure you really hit the muscles you're training instead of giving up when your grip gives out.
Why use lifting straps?
1. Straps help you lift more weight than you can with your grip alone. More weight means more muscle!
2. Not using straps means sacrificing muscle growth in other areas just to grow your forearms.
3. It’s better to use straps for back muscle work and perform supplementary forearm, targeted wrist and grip strength exercises.
4. Figure 8 lifting straps are great for heavy lifts, especially when performing a one rep max or any time the body part you are exercising will out perform your grip strength.

Lifting straps are the gift that says 'You're OK' in a manly way and ensures he doesn't borrow your own straps and make them sweaty and smelly.

There are many sneaky ways to increase your progress at the gym and these eat me supplements lifting straps top the list. For back training, these figure 8 straps increase your weights without breaking the bank. My goal as a coach is to make sure all my athletes perform to their very best. And straps help me do that job. Straps let you feel the muscles you are working, and once you feel the right muscles working, you can target them to make sure every rep counts.
