Why should I use Weight Lifting Straps?

As you progress with your weight lifting routine you may need to begin challenging yourself with heavier weights and higher resistance. A Weight Lifting Strap will assist your grip strength. Common uses for Lifting Straps are exercises such as Deadlifts, Weighted Pull ups or Shrugs. Weight Lifting Straps are used with exercises that "pull away from you" rather than push towards you. For example you wouldn't need them for a Chest Press.

How Do I Use Weight Lifting Straps?
1. With the Neoprene padding resting against the outside of your wrist, thread the loose end of your GymPaws Weight Lifting Strap through the hole at the opposite end.
2. Pull the slack out of the lifting strap so that you've created a loop around your wrist.
3. The length of the strap should be pointing away from you, against the palm of your hand towards your middle finger.
4. With palms facing the bar, wrap the weight lifting strap under the bar and back over until the remainder of the strap is around the bar.
5. Increase the "tension" of the grip around the bar by grabbing the wrapped area with the palm of your hand and tightening it. Imagine you're revving up the throttle of a motorcycle handle.
6. Now you're ready to lift!
