Lifting heavier loads poses a greater challenge in getting a decent grip as your wrists and forearms may struggle, especially during the latter part of your training sessions. This hindrance may restrict the amount of weight you can put on your targeted muscles. Plus, if your forearms get frail before your lower extremities, you might need to intensify the targeted muscle growth to keep your gains. Do not let these hurdles get in the way for you can always wear a pair of lifting straps!

We know lifting straps give your wrists extra and proper support to bolster your grip in carrying the heavy weight your lower extremities can sustain. These aid in executing heavier pulls or snatches as you progress to your goal. However, there is a special kind of strap that is perfectly made for expert deadlifters, powerlifters, and strongmen competitors...

Gunsmith Fitness offers figure 8 lifting straps which ensure you get the support and the grip you need; whether it's deadlifts, heavy shrugs or rows.
