Complete Guide to LIFTING STRAPS - How, Why, When to Use!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ม.ค. 2020
- Learn how to use WRIST STRAPS aka lifting straps. Straps are a great option for deadlifts and other pulling exercises when grip becomes the limiting factor from lifting heavier weights.
Be careful that your lifting straps don't become a crutch - the deadlift is a grip exercise as much as it is a full body exercise. Only use straps for your heaviest sets (such as rack pulls) or sets with a high number of reps (such as Romanian deadlifts).

Me, as a noob with a pair of newly bought straps without a clue of how to use just watched your valuable video and just finished first set of 9 reps. 👍 Thanks Sir.

Noob here as well and this vid has me set up for tomorrow's gym visit.
Lol, I'm using soft loop straps. They'd technically work if my hands were tiny, but my hands are in fact big. I knew a lifting strap was built similarly, but i couldn't get them to work with shrugs so I ended up here.
Bro, you don't use straps as a noob. You need to build grip strength first
Matt looks like a really tough and mean looking dude but is actually an awesome bro that's willing to help anyone in the gym. Thanks king.
You're overthinking it.
@@holliswilliams8426 I wrote that comment about 1.5yrs ago and I'd agree with you. After a year of lifting I've come to learn that the strongest guys are often the most willing to help out. I simply bought into a hurtful stereotype.
@@holliswilliams8426exactly😂
what do you mean? he doesnt look mean at all lol
Strongmen looking guys are so fucking nice usually
Matt , this is fantastic best explanation ever on straps . I have always wrapped the straps over and over when I didn’t have to . Thank you 🙏
Thank you for watching!
@@BarbellLogic why do they sell these with so much length whereas you need only to wrap it once?
@@xGaviJax so people with huge hands can use them
Anthony, wrapping it around the bar multiple times (either way) also prevents you from a quick release, which is really not what you want in power lifting. In a panic injury situation, the last thing in the world you want is to be lashed to the bar to any extent for 5 seconds longer than necessary.
So besides from being functionally the right thing (wrapping under once, against the curl of the hand) it's a little dangerous to wrap many times.
As for the length; My only guess about that over the years is that if they didn't, they wouldn't sell because of all the people misunderstanding them. Also, once in a great while you'll have a bar that has smoothed over in a way that chalk simply doesn't help; The knurling is either gone or in the wrong place. In that case, a _single additional_ wrap is necessary. Cotton against steel doesn't always behave. Though even then, the length is silly.
@@xGaviJax Maybe so they don't "uncurl" after one wraparound. If it's too short, the stiffness would easily pull it back over the bar (at least with the leather ones), which would be annoying.
A follow-up on the different kinds of straps and their pros and cons.
I've got nerve issues from my military service and that has definitely affected my grip strength; I can't hold a bar with over 250 on it for more than 8 reps at a time now. I have been doing a slow buildup of weight using a 5-3-1 plan, and I've gotten to exactly the point where alternating grips are insufficient during the heavy sets, so I just invested in some straps because the weight itself is not the problem. I got them out of the package, put them on, and realized I had no clue what I was doing! Thanks for the helpful video!
Oh man I always did it with the strap first inside-out and wondered why it didn't feel secure! This was so helpful
Glad this helped!
You're a fantastic teacher. Left no stone unturned, explained it so a 5 year old could understand. Incredibly informative and helpful
wow i needed this so much. great demo
I bought these specifically for BB RDL because I got tired of my grip failing when I wanted to do 8-10 rep sets. Thank you!
Grip becomes a limiting factor for that exercise especially, for sure.
Bro same, I reached a point where the weight was too heavy for my grip and underarms but was too little to actually do the exercise
@@muratdogan7240 Thanks for sharing
@@BarbellLogic Thank you for the amazing Video! Can only confirm what other said, it concise, well explained and lots of good extra advice given. Also love how calm it is, compared to other gym videos which are blasting ultra high volume metal at you while a guy thats 3 tubs deep in preworkout is screaming at the camera ahahah
@@muratdogan7240 Thanks, haha!
I just got a pair today and ran out to the garage to try them out. It didn't feel right. I'm very happy I found your video. I do high rep bent over rows today and will be using these tips. Thank you.
I've just got a pair today and ran out to the garage hahahahaha. I'm sorry i just find this line very funny without context xD
I haven't lifted in 6 months and had to come back & watch this video. Thx.
Great example! Thank you! Never used them before and easily strapped in thanks to your tutorial.
Thanks a lot for this basic video - helped me a lot to support my back exercises when my grip started being the factor to end a set rather than my back muscles ☺️
Brilliant! Well-thought-out "how and why" for using wrist straps. Love this.
This dude can explain things well
truth
Thank you for this video! You answered all my questions. I was doing 6 sets of 10 reps at 80% and it was taking a toll on my wrists and grip.
Have never heard those points before on how to properly use straps. Thanks Matt.
I just bought a pair of wrist straps today and had no idea how to use them. This video is exactly what I needed. Thanks for putting it out there!
Glad it helped!
THANK YOU for this clear, methodical and detailed demo!
Bro thank you so much I been lifting for about 2 years now and I’m gonna be using these soon for a crazy back day! Thank you for the help man
Finally bought my first pair of straps and this was the perfect tutorial. Thanks mate.
Straps are incredible for getting the most of PULL movements. Great tutorial.
Thank u for the information and the demonstration. Really helpful!
me gusta la manera en la que explicas TODO sobre los accesorios, gracias
Also very useful for barbell and dumbbell rows
STRAIGHT TO THE POINt,. i actually saw this without audio, and still i understood the usage. very well explained. thanks
Great video, straight to the point and tells us exactly what we need and why. I've never needed straps, but now I've noticed in my rows, pull downs and deadlift variants, my grip is giving out. Thanks very much 👍
Thanks for watching & the comment!
Just bought some weight straps and this video was very helpful on best way of using them. Thank you!
Perfect video with a no BS explanation.
I just had a chronic wrist injury so I have to use wraps, thank you for the explanation
Thanks brother . Helped me out in a pinch. Blessings to you
Very very well explained! Thank you.
Great demo and advice, thanks!
Used straps for the first time today on a pull session, got PBs all round.... Amazing piece of kit
Excellent video. Thank you for this👍🏻
Thank you for the guide mate!
Thank you so much for uploading this, by far the best explanation I've found. Just ordered my first set of straps since my grip is quite weak and I'm starting to pull 140kg regularly and losing my grip is causing me to finish my sets often even though I feel like I have more in the tank. I also feel my weak grip is stopping me having the confidence to push for 150 and above.
RDLs is why I needed this video. Thanks.
for sure
that was an amazing and comprehensive video. thanks a lot
I like that you mentioned that the straps go at the top of the hand and not the bottom of the wrist. Most videos on straps don't mention this point at all.
Thank you for your soft and easy to follow tutorial. 😊
I needed this! Thank you
Thanks for the help man👋
Fantastic explanation on how to use everything properly. Thank you so much. Also just adding, you look like such a nice bloke. All the best to ya
Clear and concise.
Great video man!
Awesome! Thanks man
I was not aware of the left hand right hand set up. I also would wrap the straps all the way around. Good to know.
Off to try it out on a broom stick in anticipation of the gym opening

Thanks. I got my first set of straps today and the instructions that came with them were definitely inadequate. This video saved me the frustration of trial-and-error trying to figure them out.

omg thank u so much i was so confused on how to get the left strap
Thanks bunches, I watched previous videos on how to use straps and didn’t get it. Your video got me to do it correctly first try! I am 75 and with arthritis in my left hand; couldn’t hang on to the bar after 4-5 reps for dead lifts and RDLs even with the reverse grip. Now I can!
Excellent!
