lifting equipment ?

Is there a difference in quality of lifting straps? Like cotton, brand, etc.

I dont plan on using them much because of how it would effect my grip strength, but i would like them for certain exercises such as weighted hangs..

If possible, links to the best ones or just the name and brand will do. Thank you

Cotton has always been my fabric of choice. Just buy them from wherever you make your next order of other stuff from. I had valeo for 5 years then they tore, now I use ATP.


BTW, you're aware these are illegal in competition?

I have used some ****ty champion cotton ones for about 4-5 years and they haven't ripped apart yet. They have little tears appearing where the most stress is placed on them, so I picked up some of the nylon ones with the rubberized grip stripe on them and I hate them. They feel a lot more "heavy duty" but they are harder to actually hold onto and secure into place, the nylon is slippery, etc. I would grab some nice cotton ones with the foam wrist guard on them, as I regularly have red indian sun burned skin on my wrists from rack pulls/deadlifts with the plain old cotton ones :P
