Padded Figure 8 Lifting Straps for Deadlifts

My husband uses their everyday. They are strong, good quality, help his grip, and are comfortable. Definitely worth the money.

These lifting straps are the best. The padding is just right, and you can tell immediately that these are high quality and durable. Made my 315lbs deadlift much easier. I will say they are pretty big (I have small hands) but when twisted an extra time, it makes no difference.

I ordered a M after measurement. They were too big, even when tightening them as suggested. I reached out to the company and they sent smaller ones. Was very impressed with the timely response and courteous customer service. The company exceeded my expectations with how they handled my purchase. The S pair fits great. The straps work well to secure your grip on the bar for deadlifts. This helps with being able to focus more on the lift and fully engage with your muscle groups. The straps take some getting used to. It took close to three deadlifts sessions before I really found out how to optimize the straps. Would highly recommended for intermediate to advance lifters looking to update their lifting gear, or anyone who finds themselves readjusting their standard straps halfway through a lifting set.

I want to specify I can only speak for the mediums, not the smalls. The quality is excellent. But, if you're going to use the medium sized for training on an olympic bar, they're essentially useless unless you're a 6'5 300lbs+ super heavyweight with huge hands and wrists. It'll be too big to support your grip. I'm 5'6 185lbs, which is not "small" for my height, and they are drastically oversized for my wrists on an olympic bar. However, I decided to keep them because they're perfect for an axle bar deadlift, which I sometimes now throw in for variation. The bar is much thicker and regular sizes figure 8s are too small for those bars. So I just got myself a regular size pair of figure 8s for the Olympic bar and just use both if I need grip assistance now. So it worked out. I'm not sure how big of a difference the small sized ones are. But definitely do not get the mediums for Olympic bar lifts, unless you have specific exceptions for your size

These straps work very well. I was a bit hesitant to try them since they are relatively new and I’m used to more traditional lifting straps. But these exceeded my expectations. They are a lot easier to strap on. You simply slide your hands through the straps without spending the extra time as you would with traditional straps. No more trying to strap one hand on the bar by itself. If you Powerlift or Olympic lift you know what I’m talking about! The straps are also a lot stronger. These will literally lock you into the bar. Kind of crazy. Wasn’t expecting them to be that tight. You actually can’t let go of the bar mid air or your arms may come off due to how snug they are. Lastly they’re super comfortable. The neoprene they’re padded with is great and provides a nice compressive layer on the wrist so there’s no excessive rubbing from the strap. Overall great product, would recommend 100%

Awesome, I can see how these straps work good. Great quality. But, they are too small. So, they are useless to me

I bought these straps 8 months ago and they haven’t shown any damage, even with heavy and frequent workouts. What I really like is that they can be adjusted and used in different ways depending on what feels most comfortable for lifting, which makes them very versatile. The material is strong and durable, and the padding helps prevent wrist discomfort. They really improve grip and allow you to focus on strength without worrying about the bar slipping.

I've been weight lifting for over 30 years after suffering a knee injury in the Army. This past spring I hit lifetime PRs of 500 lbs x 5 for hex bar deadlifts and 500 lbs x 5 for barbell shrugs using regular lifting straps. Losing grip even with the straps was a real issue, and I know I could have done more weight and reps. I researched my options, found out about figure 8 straps, and then researched those. When I decided to make a buy, I went with Element 26 because of the strong design, simple styling (no crazy colors or stitching designs), and solid reviews. I only made one mistake, which was to listen to reviewers who mentioned the straps being way too big. My wrists are 6.5", and the Smalls cap out at 5.8". I figured .7" was no big deal and I needed them tight. Nope. My mistake, but I followed the directions on the included postcard and emailed the company directly. I was immediately responded to by Jason, a co-founder. He sent me out a Medium, no questions asked, and they fit very snugly when used according to the video on the company site. I shrugged 345x12 without issue the first time using them, and I am excited to push the weight up after the cut cycle and blow through my 500 lb PR. Might have to buy more plates, if they can even be found! I couldn't be happier with the straps or the company. Besides the absolutely outstanding customer service and quality products, this is a veteran-owned and operated company. Doing it right, all the way!

I'm a professional athlete, competing in disabled strongman, I purchased these straps last year, and they have served my extremely well. They are easy, and comfortable to use, even when I pulled 500kg (1,153lbs) for 3 reps, they did not dig in, and felt comfortable. The straps themselves can hold more weight than I can think of, and I am planning to use these same figures 8s for my world record deadlift attempt in a few months. If you are just getting into lifting, or are an experienced lifter, I would recommend these figure 8s, they are perfect for any level. I've dealt with Element 26 fairly regularly through their Instagram, asking questions, and what not, the company are a pleasure to deal with, and have been extremely helpful in responding with advice about care, washing, and knowledge of the figure 8s.

L'jo regalato a mio genero e ha confermato che sia un oggetto molto valido.

Cómodos, y resistentes

These straps are very solid, great stitching and I'm confident these will last me a while. Easy and fast setup on the barbell with the 8-design. Far superior than any other straps in my opinion.

las llevo utilizando años y van muy bien ,son muy robustas además las dejas en la mochila i te olvidas de ellas hasta quelas tengas que utilizar ,no cogen olor ni nada y son cómodas
