At PFX Sports, we understand that true strength is built on a foundation of confidence and reliable equipment. Our Figure 8 Weight Lifting Straps are a testament to this philosophy, combining robust materials with intelligent design to empower your every lift.
Engineered for Unmatched Grip and Control
The core of our strap's superiority lies in its unique Figure 8 configuration. Unlike traditional straps, this design creates a closed loop around both your wrist and the barbell, effectively merging you with the weight. This unbreakable connection means you can maintain a vice-like grip even when pushing beyond your natural hand strength.
Whether you're pulling a challenging deadlift that demands consistent tension or performing heavy rows where every ounce of pulling power counts, these straps ensure the bar stays precisely where you need it. This mechanical advantage allows you to recruit more muscle fibres, leading to greater gains and a profound sense of control over the barbell.
Premium Material Construction for Enduring Durability
Quality is paramount at PFX Sports, and our Figure 8 straps reflect this commitment. Each pair is constructed from exceptionally thick, heavy-duty cotton webbing. This natural, robust fibre is renowned for its strength, resilience, and resistance to tearing, even under immense pressure.
We've gone further by implementing reinforced, high-quality stitching throughout the entire strap. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that every seam, every loop, and every connection point is built to withstand the repetitive strain of your toughest training sessions.
These straps are not just accessories; they are a long-term investment in your lifting journey, engineered to support weights up to 1000 LBS (approximately 450 kg), session after session, year after year.
Advanced Wrist Protection for Enhanced Comfort
Intense lifting can place significant strain on your wrists, potentially leading to discomfort or injury. To mitigate this, our Figure 8 straps feature integrated 8mm thick, shock-absorbing neoprene padding.
Neoprene, a synthetic rubber known for its cushioning properties and flexibility, provides a soft yet firm barrier between the strap and your skin. This crucial padding minimises pressure points, reduces friction, and absorbs the impact of heavy loads, allowing you to focus on your lift rather than wrist pain.
The result is superior comfort that enables longer, more productive training sessions, reducing the risk of abrasions or discomfort often associated with lesser quality straps.
Universal Design & Effortless Application
PFX Sports believes in gear that works for everyone. Our Figure 8 Weight Lifting Straps are designed with a universal, one-size-fits-all fit, accommodating a wide range of hand and wrist sizes for both male and female athletes.
Furthermore, their intuitive design ensures an easy on-and-off system. You can quickly secure yourself to the bar, allowing you to maximise your training time and maintain focus.
Versatile Application Across Disciplines
These straps are an indispensable tool for any serious strength athlete. Their design makes them particularly effective for lifts where grip is a limiting factor. Beyond deadlifts, they excel in:
- Powerlifting: Crucial for competitive pulling events.
- Rows: Maximise lat and upper back engagement without grip fatigue.
- Shrugs: Build massive traps by handling heavier loads.
- Barbell Lunges: Enhance stability and control, particularly with heavy weights.
- Rack Pulls & Farmers Walks: Increase your capacity for grip-intensive movements.
How to Secure Your PFX Figure 8 Straps?
Getting a perfect, locked-in grip is quick and easy. Follow these simple steps for optimal performance and safety:
- Loop One: Keep your palm parallel to the bar and pull your hand through one of the Figure 8 loops.
- Under the Bar: Take the strap and guide it under the barbell, bringing the opposite loop up towards your hand.
- Secure & Grip: Pull your hand through the second loop. Finally, grip the bar firmly, ensuring the strap feels completely tight and secure around your wrist and the bar.
Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your PFX Figure 8 Weight Lifting Straps:
- Hand Wash Recommended: Gently hand wash in cold water with mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
- Air Dry Only: Lay flat or hang to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the cotton webbing and neoprene padding.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can degrade materials.
- Store Properly: Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures when not in use.
