Olympic lifting straps are ideal for Olympic lifts such as snatches. They can also be used for snatch grip deadlifts, deadlifts, and pulls. These straps are an all-around great lifting strap that can be used in nearly every lifting application. Olympic straps are similar to speed straps but feature a longer sewn end.
These lifting straps are designed to enhance your grip and provide support during various strength training exercises. Their versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of movements beyond just Olympic lifts, including general strength training and powerlifting. The design prioritizes both security and comfort, allowing lifters to focus on their form and execution.
Specifications:
• Length: 9.25"
• Width: 1.5"
• Opening: 5.5"
• Color: Black or Green
• Material: Cotton
When using the straps, it is important to note that the end piece should lay in the same direction as your thumb and not across the palm. This specific positioning allows the strap to lay flat and more securely on the bar, which is crucial for maintaining a stable grip during heavy lifts.
Once the strap is on, you can spin the bar to torque down the strap. However, it is important not to make it overly tight. You still want to have flexion in the wrist, especially when performing Olympic movements. This slight flexibility in the wrist is essential for proper technique and to prevent discomfort or injury during dynamic lifts like snatches and clean and jerks. The cotton material provides a comfortable feel while offering the necessary durability for rigorous training sessions.
