No-Nonsense Support – RDX WAN W1 Lifting Straps
If you’re just getting into serious lifting, the RDX WAN W1 Lifting Straps are a smart place to start. With a comfortable neoprene cuff and a traditional lasso wrap, they offer exactly what you need — and nothing you don’t. No gimmicks. No fuss. Just solid grip support when your hands start to give out before your muscles do.
Why These Are the Best Lifting Straps for Beginners?
When you’re starting out, the focus should always be on good form and strong grip fundamentals. But when grip starts limiting your main lifts — especially in movements like deadlifts, rows or pull-ups — a quality strap can help bridge the gap.
Here’s why these particular deadlift straps are ideal:
- Lasso design is easy to learn and adjust mid-set.
- Neoprene anti-slip wrist padding adds comfort and reduces sweat.
- Minimal slack keeps your wrist close to the bar, improving control and bar path.
These straps are built to help you lift with better tension and confidence, without letting the grip become a distraction.
When Should You Use Lifting Straps?
This comes down to your individual progress. We always recommend building grip strength first and using straps once you’re sure your technique is dialled in.
Here’s our rule of thumb:
- If grip fatigue is cutting your working sets short — bring in straps.
- If you’re prepping for heavy sets or high-volume pulling — support the lift with straps.
- Don’t rely on them for everything — just use them to maximise output in your primary muscle groups.
What can you use lasso style deadlift straps For?
These are classic lasso-style lifting straps, which makes them super versatile. Use them for:
- Heavy deadlifts
- Pull-ups and lat pulldowns
- Dumbbell or barbell rows
- Weighted carries (like farmer’s walks)
They’re a reliable training aid when the goal is targeting your back, hamstrings or traps without grip being the weak link.
Buds Top Tip on Lasso design Strap Setup
To get the most out of your straps, keep your wrist as close to the bar as possible. Wrap them tight — and if needed, re-wrap mid-set to maintain tension. Watch strongman deadlift events and you’ll see this done often. It’s all about keeping that connection to the bar locked in.
Remember: lifting straps don’t replace grip — they reinforce your lift when your grip needs backup.
