Team Industry Teal Deadlift Straps for Strongman Training and Heavy Pulling Days
Deadlift straps are one of the simplest ways to extend your pulling strength when grip becomes the limiting factor. The Team Industry Teal Lasso Style Lifting Straps are built from durable polyester with reinforced stitching and a comfortable neoprene wrist pad. This gives lifters extra control on the bar during demanding sets.
For strongman athletes they are ideal for high-rep deadlifts, axle pulls and heavy barbell work where conserving grip matters. They are also a great entry point for newer lifters or general gym users who want to improve their deadlift, barbell rows or lat pulldowns without their hands giving out first.
Durable, simple and easy to use, they are a staple piece of lifting kit in gyms everywhere.
Who should use deadlift straps?
Deadlift straps are useful for a wide range of lifters, including:
- Strongman athletes, training for high-rep deadlift events
- Powerlifters, pushing heavy pulling sessions
- Gym lifters, whose grip fails before their back muscles
- Beginners, learning deadlift technique and building confidence with the bar
They allow you to focus on the muscles that matter while reducing grip fatigue during longer or heavier sessions.
Are deadlift straps good for beginners and new lifters?
Yes. Deadlift straps can be very useful for beginners because they allow you to focus on pulling technique without grip fatigue cutting your sets short. They help you maintain control of the bar during exercises such as deadlifts, rows and shrugs. This allows the larger back and leg muscles to work properly during training. Many experienced lifters also use straps during heavy training phases or high-volume sessions to reduce grip fatigue and keep their sessions productive.
When should you use lifting straps during training?
Lifting straps are most commonly used during heavy pulling exercises such as deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts, barbell rows and shrugs. They are particularly useful when your grip begins to fail before your back, glutes or hamstrings are fully fatigued. Strongman athletes often use straps during high-rep deadlift events or axle bar lifts. General gym users also benefit from them during back training sessions where maintaining a secure grip on the bar is important.
What is the difference between lifting straps and figure 8 straps?
Traditional lifting straps wrap around the bar once and tighten as you grip. This helps reduce grip fatigue during exercises like deadlifts, rows and shrugs while still allowing you to release the bar quickly. Figure 8 lifting straps create a more secure connection between your hands and the bar. For this reason, they are especially popular with strongman athletes during heavy deadlifts and high-rep events where grip failure is likely. If you regularly train with very heavy pulls or strongman-style events, you may prefer the extra security of Figure 8 Deadlift Straps, which are designed specifically for maximum grip support.
