Ever wondered what lifting straps do? Here’s how, when, and why to use lifting straps.

Basically, you can use them whenever your grip becomes a limiting factor. In normal people speak, if you can’t hang on, you could get more out of the target muscle by using straps. Mostly this occurs in higher rep ranges.

Use them on machines, dumbbells, kettlebells, hell, even pull up bars! Most commonly though, they’re used with barbell training.

There are a lot of different kinds of lifting straps but the ones I have are a simple loop which you can use in two ways. The first and more secure way is to loop around the handle and through itself. The second way is to loop it around the handle off to the side. This way is more straight forward and unwraps easier. Do whatever comes most natural to you!

Pro tip, I usually do my non-dominant hand first so I can get help from the other.

I hope this helps you know why, when, and how to use lifting straps! If you did find this useful, consider following along for more content like this.
