Wrist Wraps for Weight Lifting

In order to lift heavy weights, you need to engage large muscles in the legs, back, arms and shoulders. But one link in this chain of muscles is smaller, and therefore weaker, than the others: the hands. This is why the muscles in your fingers are often the first to let go when you’re attacking a one-rep max deadlift.

Wrist straps for weight lifting are designed to add strength and stability where it’s most needed, shifting the strain from your hands to your wrists, and shifting your focus from these weaker areas to the parts of your body you’re actually trying to build.
