Element 26 Padded Figure 8 Lifting Straps - Weightlifting Straps - Figure 8 Straps - Wrist Straps for Men, Women, Weight Lifting, Deadlifts - Deadlifting Straps

These lifting straps are the best. The padding is just right, and you can tell immediately that these are high quality and durable. Made my 315lbs deadlift much easier. I will say they are pretty big (I have small hands) but when twisted an extra time, it makes no difference.

These straps work very well. I was a bit hesitant to try them since they are relatively new and I’m used to more traditional lifting straps. But these exceeded my expectations. They are a lot easier to strap on. You simply slide your hands through the straps without spending the extra time as you would with traditional straps. No more trying to strap one hand on the bar by itself. If you Powerlift or Olympic lift you know what I’m talking about!The straps are also a lot stronger. These will literally lock you into the bar. Kind of crazy. Wasn’t expecting them to be that tight. You actually can’t let go of the bar mid air or your arms may come off due to how snug they are.Lastly they’re super comfortable. The neoprene they’re padded with is great and provides a nice compressive layer on the wrist so there’s no excessive rubbing from the strap.Overall great product, would recommend 100%

I have traditionally used regular leather straps, and am still a big fan. As the weight goes up, I can really cinch them down to get the grip I want. I decided to give figure 8 straps a try. They are not as adjustable in terms of being able to cinch them as tight as you want, however, overall they are a little more convenient if you go solo and are not great with self-wrapping old school straps. The added padding where your wrists meet are a great feature I had not seen on other brands, and do make a difference. Lastly, I have to give full stars to the Element 26 team. I explained what I was trying to achieve and they helped me get the right pair that would come as close as possible to my standard strap experience. They went above and beyond in their help and will buy from them again if these ever wear out. They are high quality and very thick and well constructed, so I see them lasting for some time.

This is my first a pair of figure 8 wrist straps and I decided to go with Element26’s version based on the reviews here. I ordered a size medium and received them the next day. When I first tried them on I was worried I ordered a size too big. I reached out to Element26 on Instagram and got an immediate response. I was informed that the medium works for a majority of people and was given tips on how to use the straps better. The next two days I used them for my accessory work with rows and then deadlifts the following day. The straps felt great to use and was definitely a step up vs normal wrist straps. My grip felt great, and I was able to knock out a couple more reps with my Pendlay row without worrying about my grip. I’ve only used them for two days but the quality and durability seem to be great, and I’m sure these will last me a long time based on the build quality. I’m glad I purchased these and the customer support from Element26 was great.

These straps helped me get new PRs as grip was my limiting factor, and I highly recommend them for people looking for straps specifically for deadlifting. Outside of deadlifting, they don't have the versatility as single loop or lasso straps. Namely, they are horrible for Olympic lifts (and dangerous), even movements like snatch grip deadlifts are challenging with these straps because they will slide side to side on the bar. Additionally, they can't be used for trap bar deadlifts, dumbbells, challenging to use on lat pulldown/pull-ups, front squats (for those who don't have front rack mobility), and basically anything where you don't have a lot of space to grip or have to grip it vertically.Don't get me wrong; these are amazing straps but lack the versatility of the single loop or lasso straps.

Awesome, I can see how these straps work good. Great quality. But, they are too small. So, they are useless to me

I use the Element quick release belt and love it so decided to try their figure 8 straps. They are so easy and quick to set up so you don't tire or have to strain on your set up. They are so strong and feel almost all strain off your hands. Really have helped increase weight and reps by taking away the limiting factor of grip fatigue

Have had these straps for a few years now and they are great. They gave frayed some on the edges over the years but I've pulled over 700lbs on deadlift with them and they are going still going strong.
