The Olympic lifting strap is perfect for someone doing snatches, snatch pulls or clean pulls. You can also use them for conventional overhand grip deadlift, but we wouldn’t recommend them for mixed grip deadlift. The beauty of these straps is that the bar will drop out of your hands once you open your hands (conventional deadlift straps will still stay attached to the bar for a few seconds). When you’re performing Olympic weightlifting movements this is critical to avoid injury (think of losing a snatch overhead without your straps releasing the bar – bye bye shoulders!).

David Thomas –
Great product, replaces old straps of a similar design but thicker material. Being picky, wish the wrist loop was wider as it’d be more comfortable with the heavier weights. No matter, early days but very good.
