Lifting Straps

[Foundation]

Hey Guys and Gals,

Newbie Question

I'm starting to lift weight that my grip can't handle, like bent over bb rows, stiffs and deads etc.... I've seen people at the gym with lifting straps that have one loop and also seen on the net a double loop, which one is the best or does it depend on the individual, also whos selling them in the wellington area?

Cheers

I prefer the double looped straps but i know a lot of people that like the single loop ones.i find th esingle looped ones awkward to use but then others find them easier.

i guess its personal preference as to which ones you like

the double looped ones i have seen in sterling sports and also the les mills shops.i would think any good sports shop would stock both varieties.

Yep, personal preference - I like the single-loop ones, makes releasing easier.

Gymeez at the Willis St/ Manners St corner have a good range, I think - and sometimes Rebel sport has them too.

i find the double loops better (have used both) reason being if my grip does go the bb hangs from the straps and i can finish my set :nod:

What he said, plus I seem to lack the co-ords to use the single loops, well quickly anyway.
