SPUDInc. 2" Lifting Straps (Yellow)

I read some reviews that you would need to wear down the fabric a few times by washing it, rubbing it down with sandpaper, etc...that is true. In the beginning, the outside was very slick and stiff. So it was difficult to actually wrap around the barbell and even grip. So I washed it two or three times, tried my best to use it even on the lighter exercises.Now they feel much better after the slickness and stiffness wore down. 2" is a lot of material and it shows. It's grip is very strong even on heavier sets.

I have carpal tunnel; one wrist has been thru the surgery a few years ago. The other wrist isn't as bad, but is on its way to failure someday. My grip is obviously diminished over what it used to be. Straps are my only option for lifting any kind of heavy weight. I was using a pair of cheap, skinny straps until I finally realized I needed something more, so I ordered these straps. They're pretty stiff when you first get them, but they quickly become more pliable as you use them. I LOVE these straps. They have become my new best friend.

Good and thick strap. Well made of heavy duty material. They are pretty smooth and will take some time to break in but when they do grip will be even better. Would have liked them to bar an inch longer

These will not tear. I've been through dozens of other brands. These are by far the toughest.
