Description
Team Industry really do make the best figure 8 deadlift straps!
These heavy duty figure 8 deadlift straps are designed to create a secure connection between your hands and the barbell during heavy pulling exercises. Figure 8 straps lock around the bar and your wrists, helping remove grip as the limiting factor when deadlifting or performing high-volume back training.
The Team Industry Heavy Duty Figure 8 Wrist Straps (31″) represent the standard size in the range and are designed to suit most lifters. The strap length allows the material to wrap comfortably around a normal Olympic barbell while still creating the tight figure 8 connection that keeps the bar secure in your hands.
Rated to support extremely heavy loads, these straps are built for serious strength training. Durable materials and reinforced stitching mean they can handle repeated heavy sessions whether you’re chasing a new deadlift personal best or building pulling strength in the gym.
Who should use heavy duty figure 8 straps?
Heavy duty figure 8 straps are designed for lifters who want maximum grip security during barbell Deadlifts and pulling exercises. They are particularly useful for:
- Heavy barbell deadlift training
- Strongman and strength athletes
- High-volume back training sessions
- Gym lifters pushing heavier deadlift numbers
Because the straps lock around the bar, they allow you to focus entirely on pulling strength without grip fatigue limiting your sets.
What size figure 8 straps should I use?
Choosing the correct size helps ensure the straps wrap properly around the bar while fitting comfortably around your wrists. The 31″ standard size is designed to suit most lifters and works well with the Olympic barbells used in most gyms. It provides enough material length to create a secure figure 8 connection without feeling too tight or overly loose. Lifters with smaller wrists may prefer the Small Figure 8 Deadlift Straps, which offer a tighter and more compact fit.
Why do lifters use figure 8 straps for deadlifts?
Figure 8 straps are popular because they create a locked-in connection between your hands and the barbell. This allows lifters to continue training their back, glutes and hamstrings without grip fatigue ending the set early. For this reason, they are commonly used during heavy Deadlifts, rack pulls and high-rep pulling sessions. Many strongman athletes also rely on figure 8 straps during training because they provide maximum grip security when lifting very heavy loads.
