Pro Tips & FAQs

They serve different purposes: lifting straps help secure your grip on heavy bars (deadlifts, rows), transferring load to your wrist and forearms, while wrist wraps keep your wrist stable during pressing movements like bench or overhead press. Many lifters use straps for pulling and wraps for pressing to maximize both grip and support.

We offer lasso straps (easy to wrap around the bar) and figure‑8 straps (for maximum grip security, great for heavy deadlifts). Grab a lasso style if you're training general lifts—figure‑8 is preferred only when you’re hoisting super-heavy weights in bowflex or strongman-style sessions.

Most lifters go with 12–18-inch wraps, which offer firm wrist support without being overly restrictive. These lengths are ideal for benching, overhead lifts, and pressing movements you’d do in local Kuwait gyms.

If you use straps only when your grip actually gives out—say, the last few reps of deadlifts—they’re fine. Overusing them can reduce grip training. That’s why many lifters also train grip directly (e.g., farmer’s walks, wrist curls) alongside using straps .

No—wraps are best for pressing moves, straps for pulling. Some gloves include built‑in wraps, but that’s more for comfort than heavy support. Stash both in your gym bag and rotate them according to your workout.

Hand-wash with mild soap after sweaty sessions and air-dry them—heat damages velcro and elastic. For leather or padded straps, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Proper care ensures they stay stretchy, secure, and long-lasting—even in Kuwait’s humidity.
