Disappointed hugely with these, the loops are FAR too big, and unadjustable, therefore making them almost useless, the loops are that big it almost makes your hand slide right out of them, I tried them whilst doing deads and shrugs and still find that the normal wrist wraps (the ones you have to keep twisting to make tighter) FAR better, wouldn't advise these at all.

The bin

After surgery for replacement knuckles, I am unable to lift heavy weights. Just purchased some figure 8 straps, and can now pull 80 it with ease. Must highly recommend this training aid.

Absolutely fantastically simple piece of kit, could not lift more than 140 kg on dead lifts because of grip fatigue and then went to 170 kg in 2 sessions! I use them for all my dead lifts now and can't wait to see what I'm really capable of. What's also nice is that I don't need to over under grip any more

Bought these as an experiment when my old conventional style straps were starting to wear. I was very sceptical how these could work effectively but I was pleasantly surprised. They are quicker to use than the old style wraparounds (more reason to hit those heavy drop sets) and offer as much grip and support during the lift as well. Easy to use, just slam them round a bar, and 'wind them up' (you'll know what I mean if you use them) and fire away. Plus, Eddie Hall broke a dead lift world record with them, so all the cool kids are using 'em now. Good value, would recommend for powerful back sessions.

An obscenely large weight and a lot of masculine grunting

These are the first figure 8 straps I have used and so far so good. No difficulties in using them at all and they feel like they are built to last.

I had big expectations, however figure 8 links are too wide, and cannot get enough grip. Will stick with usual straps

Great straps! Slightly large however but twisting them before wrapping them round the bar seems to help

Ordered these figure 8s and was very pleased with the quality of them, especially for the great price. Very happy customer.

Only used these a couple of times so far but quite happy with them. Take a bit of getting used to and don't fasten as tightly as traditional straps, don't know if part of that is because I only have small wrists. Good addition to the gym bag though for the price and gives me another option as well as my old faithful straps that I've had for 20 years and my powergrips

These are phenomenal, exactly what I needed! I was struggling to do more than two reps at 160kg deadlifting, but with these I've just smashed three sets of six reps at 160kg! Buy these, they are brilliant and pave the way for an Eddie Hall 500kg deadlift (we can all dream!)
