A Must-Have for Serious Lifters

I’ve been lifting for over a decade, and these straps are a game-changer. The figure-8 design locks me in securely so I can focus on the lift without worrying about my grip giving out. I’ve hit some of my heaviest deadlifts yet using these, and they hold up perfectly—no signs of wear even after months of use. The material feels super durable, and honestly, it’s refreshing to find high-quality straps that don’t use leather. If you’re serious about strength training, these are worth it.

So easy to Lift Heavier!

I wasn’t sure if lifting straps were necessary until I tried these. The figure-8 design is simple to use and makes me feel so much more confident during heavy deadlifts and rows. I don’t have to think about grip slipping anymore, which has really helped me push myself. They’re comfortable, supportive, and hold up well to regular use. Bonus: they don’t smell weird after sweaty sessions like some straps I’ve used before. Highly recommend if you’re into lifting heavier!

Love these!!

These are the first figure 8 straps I’ve ever tried and I love them! They’re comfortable and I feel like my grip is fully locked in. I’ve used them for RDLs for around 6 months and can confirm that they’re strong and durable!

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently with warm water and mild detergent.

Avoid machine washing or drying, as this may damage the lifting straps.

Most lifting straps are cotton or nylon. These aren't.

The Figure 9 is made from premium FSC-certified cork leather (the strongest plant-based material available) tested to lift over 300kg. No synthetic stretch, no leather stink, no break-in period. Wrap, lock, pull.

The Figure 9 loop design tightens under load, giving you a secure, adjustable wrap you can get on and off between sets — without re-wrapping from scratch every time.

The Figure 8 doesn't let go until you do.

Unlike looped straps you can slip in and out of between sets, the Figure 8 design locks you in for the duration of the lift — giving you a fixed, immovable connection to the bar that tightens under load. When you're pulling 200kg-plus and grip is not an option, this is the strap that belongs on your wrists.

Made from premium FSC-certified cork leather reinforced with 100% organic cotton webbing — tested to lift well over 300kg.

Zero break-in. Zero compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

figure 8 vs figure 9 — which one do i need?

Figure 8: locks you in for the full set — best for max-effort singles, heavy deadlifts, and any lift where you need absolute grip security.

Figure 9: adjustable loop you can slip in and out of between sets — better for training sessions across multiple pulling exercises.

If you're chasing a PR or competing, Figure 8. If you're training a full pulling session, Figure 9.

what exercises are figure 8 straps best for?

Heavy deadlifts, max-effort rack pulls, heavy shrugs, and trap bar deadlifts — any pull where you're going for a personal best or training at near-maximum load. For lighter pulling exercises across a full session, the Figure 9 gives you more flexibility.

how do i use figure 8 straps?

To use figure 8 lifting straps, start by putting one hand through one loop, then go under the bar with the strap. Bring the opposite loop up, stick your hand through the second loop, maintain upward tension, turn your hands inwards and grip the bar tightly.
