Element 26 Padded Figure 8 Lifting Straps for Deadlifts

These wraps work great. You can get in and out of them in about a second, the stability is awesome and they are very comfortable (but regular wraps aren't uncomfortable to me so no upgrade there). To me, being able to get in and out in a heartbeat and having them impossible to set wrong/uneven, is well worth the money. I had a regular grip slip last year at the top of a DL and caught the weight on the fingertips of my right arm causing a forearm injury by the elbow - one year later, my forearm is still struggling; impossible for that to happen with these. Disclaimer - I only use wraps on DL and don't DL as often as I should (about once every 10 days) so setting up regular wraps isn't necessarily automatic for me, maybe they are to you.

I ordered a M after measurement. They were too big, even when tightening them as suggested. I reached out to the company and they sent smaller ones. Was very impressed with the timely response and courteous customer service. The company exceeded my expectations with how they handled my purchase. The S pair fits great. The straps work well to secure your grip on the bar for deadlifts. This helps with being able to focus more on the lift and fully engage with your muscle groups. The straps take some getting used to. It took close to three deadlifts sessions before I really found out how to optimize the straps. Would highly recommended for intermediate to advance lifters looking to update their lifting gear, or anyone who finds themselves readjusting their standard straps halfway through a lifting set.

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.

I want to specify I can only speak for the mediums, not the smalls. The quality is excellent. But, if you're going to use the medium sized for training on an olympic bar, they're essentially useless unless you're a 6'5 300lbs+ super heavyweight with huge hands and wrists. It'll be too big to support your grip. I'm 5'6 185lbs, which is not "small" for my height, and they are drastically oversized for my wrists on an olympic bar. However, I decided to keep them because they're perfect for an axle bar deadlift, which I sometimes now throw in for variation. The bar is much thicker and regular sizes figure 8s are too small for those bars. So I just got myself a regular size pair of figure 8s for the Olympic bar and just use both if I need grip assistance now. So it worked out. I'm not sure how big of a difference the small sized ones are. But definitely do not get the mediums for Olympic bar lifts, unless you have specific exceptions for your size

I am relatively new to weightlifting and have a medical condition that has caused some lack of strength/fine motor skills in my right hand. I had reached a point with lifting that I just couldn’t progress because I couldn’t grip the weights/bars. I tried all the other kinds of straps and gloves, but continued to struggle- both with my grip and even just getting the straps around the bars on my own. Then I found these. The trainers at my gym and I call these the “magic straps”. I can wear my standard gloves and wrist supports with these (so no issues changing back and forth for different exercises), and easily put them on and off by myself. They hold the deadlift bar steady without issue. I’ve been using them 3-4 times a week now for several months without issue or even any signs of real wear or tear, and everyone who’s seen them asks about them and wants to try them out. I love them and will continue to buy more if these ever wear out!

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

My husband uses their everyday. They are strong, good quality, help his grip, and are comfortable. Definitely worth the money.

I am extremely impressed with these figure-8 straps. I frequently deadlift heavy and have to replace my straps every year and a half or so. I've used straps by Pioneer, Strength Shop, and Cobra Grips. These straps are orders of magnitude sturdier and more comfortable to use than all the others I've used. One thing to note, though. When you begin using them, and if you've used other brands, you may think they're too small. I use a medium, and they are the exact same length as the Strength Shop ones they are replacing. The issue (if you can call it that) is that they are so sturdy and so stiff, you will have a break-in period. However, the neoprene padding sewn into both loop ends on each strap makes them feel great. I can't recommend the Element 26 straps enough.

I'm a professional athlete, competing in disabled strongman, I purchased these straps last year, and they have served my extremely well. They are easy, and comfortable to use, even when I pulled 500kg (1,153lbs) for 3 reps, they did not dig in, and felt comfortable. The straps themselves can hold more weight than I can think of, and I am planning to use these same figures 8s for my world record deadlift attempt in a few months. If you are just getting into lifting, or are an experienced lifter, I would recommend these figure 8s, they are perfect for any level. I've dealt with Element 26 fairly regularly through their Instagram, asking questions, and what not, the company are a pleasure to deal with, and have been extremely helpful in responding with advice about care, washing, and knowledge of the figure 8s.

L'jo regalato a mio genero e ha confermato che sia un oggetto molto valido.

Cómodos, y resistentes

These straps are very solid, great stitching and I'm confident these will last me a while. Easy and fast setup on the barbell with the 8-design. Far superior than any other straps in my opinion.

las llevo utilizando años y van muy bien ,son muy robustas además las dejas en la mochila i te olvidas de ellas hasta quelas tengas que utilizar ,no cogen olor ni nada y son cómodas
