The benefits of Figure 8 Straps
For those of you who have always wondered what the benefits of figure 8 lifting straps are, keep on reading!
Lifting straps are used by wrapping them around your wrists, followed by the dumbbell – barbell or pull-up bar. This attaches the weight to your wrist, alleviating the strain on your forearms and grip.
Using weightlifting straps properly will allow you to focus all your efforts on the target muscle.
Putting this into perspective, here is an example of the effectiveness of weightlifting straps; Let’s say you are doing a set of heavy deadlifts and your aim is for seven repetitions. On your 6th rep, your grip starts to fail, and your forearms become overworked, making the last rep near impossible to complete.
On the other hand, if you were using lifting straps, this would most likely not happen because a major percentage of your grip and forearm force are taken out of the equation.
Ultimately this allows you to concentrate on working out your muscles for maximum muscle gains. You will also notice that with lifting straps, you will be able to lift more weight immediately, intern this will allow you to gain more muscle and strength.
Lifting straps will help you on your way to developing that wide strong, and muscular back that all lifters strive for!
