Rip Toned23" Wrist Straps for Weightlifting (Padded Neoprene) - Cotton Weight Lifting Straps - Gym Workout Straps for Men&Women - Deadlift Straps for Powerlifting&Strength Training - Grip Straps

Theres straps are perfect for literally any movement where you cant get that grip. My boyfriend always pestered me to get a pair and I was being stubborn. Once I got them it was a game-changer, especially for my RDL’s which I had struggled the most with.

I started powerlifting about six years ago. After borrowing straps regularly, I decided to purchase my own. These were the first pair I’ve owned - purchased in March of 2019. These are by far the most comfortable straps I’ve used (as compared to Alpha, Gym Reaper, and a few other brands). They’re the perfect length, perfect amount of give/flexibility, and they don’t harden/stiffen over time. I cycle lift, lifting anywhere from 3-4x week to 5-6x week. Deadlifts and top-half deadlifts are hit each week, so these bad boys have had a run for their money. I reached out to Rip Toned last week to let them know that my well loved, and very well used, straps were officially being retired. Incredibly, the immediately sent me a replacement pair. I cannot say enough good things about the product or company. If you’re considering these, just buy them!

I've been weight lifting for over 20 years now and have tried many different brands/types of lifting straps. The last couple of years, I have been using the cheaper Meister Neoprene-Padded Lifting Straps which were good, but does not last too long. The Meister strap as well as the cotton straps made by Harbinger, Atlas, or Valeo always snapped on me within a year.I decided to pay a little more for the Rip Toned Padded Strap due to the lifetime warranty. If the warranty is valid and is honored, I will not be going back to the cheaper straps mentioned previously.So far I've only tried this strap a couple of times and it does feel a bit more sturdier than the cheaper ones mentioned. However, only time will tell if these straps will last and is the reason why I took a star off. I will update my review after using them for a while.Also, if you are new to using straps, don't worry about it. Ripped Toned will send you an email with instructions to make sure you are using the straps properly.Update 6/24/15 - Been using these straps for a little over a year and it was starting to fall apart. These straps lasted longer the the ones mentioned in my original review above. I contacted their customer service and just provided a picture of the condition of the straps. The same day, the company responded back to my email. Well, I am now changing my review to 5 stars from my original review. I just received another pair under the company's Life Time Warranty. Their customer service is excellent and they stand behind their product 100%.

These straps have been through everything. I had a pair in the past that lasted me years, and it was hanging by a thread until one day it snapped. I decided to buy another one, and I can confidently say that it still holds up well. I am able to use it for deadlifts, and it withstands multiple lifts of 600+ pounds. It may not be the best option available, but it is affordable, and if it does break, you can easily purchase another one.

One of my favorite weightlifting moves is the deadlift. For various reasons I went without this move in my workout arsenal for a couple of years. A few months back I began deadlifting again. I was happy to cycle this powerful move back into my workouts and quickly got the pounds I was lifting on the rise. Now I pride myself on good grip strength. As someone who does a lot of pulling and hanging movements and trained in jiu jitsu for years I'd say my grip is pretty solid. Once I started blowing past the 300 lb. mark with my deadlifts it still became difficult to hold onto the bar for multiple reps a couple of sets in. At rep 4 on set 3 it would take everything I had to hold the bar for another rep. That's where these straps come in. I knew I would need a little assistance on days I wanted to progress my deadlift weight if I didn't want to stagnate, so I gave in to buying lifting straps. What wonders they work! With these straps I can do 5x5 lifting with 350 lbs. no problem. I don't have to worry about my grip giving out on me. My back thanks these straps as I continue to add more plates on every week. The straps are built tough, and I have already put them through many workouts with no signs of wear and tear. I can see these lasting quite a long time. I am happy I finally bought these.

Where to begin? Let me start out by saying that any reservations I may have had about lifting straps were immediately dispelled with my first use of my new Rip Toned straps. I established a new deadlift PR on my first workout with them. Thanks to the straps I was also able to dramatically increase my reps for the hang power clean and also set a new PR.A couple years ago leading up to my deployment to Afghanistan I became more serious about my lifting goals. But as a true hard-gainer I found it difficult to break through deadlift and cleans plateaus. I knew my grip strength was a limiting factor because I could always feel my grip start to give midway through my sets forcing me to pause frequently. I refused to give in to lifting aids, but after some inquiry I committed and am better for it.Even with my small wrist diameter, my RipToned straps fit comfortably and securely. After a month of repeated and consistent use with heavyperspiration they've maintained their shape and are wearing very well. Some of the bars I lift with are freshly knurled and the straps offer a good degree of added protection.I appreciate the boost in confidence I've gained from them and can now devote more attention to my form during my sets. I'll be looking to invest in your lifting belt next. Thanks for the coupon. Keep up the great work.
