IronMind Sew-Easy Lifting Straps (pair)

I purchased these after borrowing a similar pair from a friend for deadlifts. The speed with which you can get on and off the bar make these preferable for heavy cleans, snatches, deadlifts, or in workouts like Crossfit. I prefer to not use straps unless failing grip strength forces me to, so I've only used them a handful of times since I purchased them. The only drawback I've found using these versus the pair I borrowed from a friend is that the fabric on these is a little softer and less stiff. The stiffness of the others I used made it quicker to hook and wrap around the bar. It is getting easier to wrap each time I use these, though, so I don't consider it a negative to the product so much as a reflection of my lack of coordination. The fabric itself is thick and I have no concerns about its durability. The stitching where the loop meets (the bottom of the V) is clean and well done and I have no concerns about it holding up for years. I am a female with small wrists and medium/large hands for my size and these work fine for me. Their size actually puts less strain on the top of my hand/thumb area than the others that I had borrowed, although they feel a little more unruly. The other straps could be uncomfortable, especially on heavy deadlifts, but I have not experienced discomfort with the IronMind straps.

Been over a year and still going strong. Use to deadlift twice a week. Very well made, very thick material and good stitching.

These are great straps both for olympic weightlifting training (snatches, pulls) and general training (deadlifts, rows). They are a short sewn loop rather than the traditional choker design, which makes it easier (and safer) to bail out of a missed snatch. The sewn loop also allows a symmetrical cinch (just tuck the tail through the loop), which may take a little getting used to compared with regular straps, but once you have figured it out it is just as fast and easy. Finally, the sewn loop design will not choke up on your wrist the same way regular straps can, so it is easy to take on and off. The nylon material is a little slick but once it roughens up from the bar knurling and gets some chalk rubbed, they grip the bar really well. It is also a tough nylon that is more durable than cotton or poly straps. I have used other Iron Mind straps before for many years and they have held up strong pulling in the 600lb range regularly. I expect these to do the same. Other straps on the market often have a separate right/left designation which is helpfu; if you tuck the tail to one side (typically to the inside of your grip width). With the sewn loop design, I've found that right/left isn't really an issue if you tuck the tail through the loop.

Quality of the material is good I personally can not grip the bar for my life when I deadlift. It’s like the material slides down my hands when I actually get up in weight Length could’ve been a little shorter Size of the wrist makes it a bit more difficult to get your hands set up In my opinion there’s way better options for cheaper

I am an Olympic-style weightlifter. I use this product to train in specific lifts such as the snatch, dead lifts, RDLs and cleans. This product get the job done. PROS: - Product is made with excellent material. Very heavy duty and tough! - Design is well made. Other lifting straps have extra length which have you wrap it around the barbell a few times. Iron Mind created the perfect length and works just as well. - Sewing the ends together is a smart design. It creates less handling when trying to strap to the bar and saves time. CONS: - Does not come in black color. Training with straps over time can get dirty. Blue straps and a white label displays dirt easily if you do not wash the them all the time.

I've had these for 9 years and they are still going strong. They took some time to break in but after that, they are easy to use.

I use these for weightlifting. The material and stitching looks like they're quality and should last a very long time. The straps feel a little stiff at first but they break in nicely with use. The length is perfect and I have missed snatches from behind with these and they release without any problem. I don't like how the width of the straps are a bit wide. When you wrap them around the bar, the bar pretty much disappear under the straps and you can't really have a good feel for the barbell anymore. So whether if you're lifting with an eleiko bar or a craigslist bar, all you're gonna feel is the strap on your hands. The good thing though is the wide width of the strap won't dig into your hands when you're deadlifting or doing heavy pulls and extensions. I am a 77kg lifter. Maybe if you have bigger hands than me you won't have this problem.

These straps are good and they don't slip when they are wrapped on the bar , like some or most straps do . I had purchased a similar pair of straps from Iron Mind about 8 years ago . The wear on them is excellent . I just had to modify them as my hands are extremely small , no big deal . If these are like the past pair , they are almost indestructable and the price is a bargain .

Worth the premium over cheap straps.

Hacen su función, aunque la utilización es muy difícil, son mejores los de tira.

Benutze die Straps seit 3,5 Jahren bereits zum regelmäßigen Gewichtheben (3-6mal pro Woche). Ich muss dazu anmerken, dass dies jetzt auch schon mein zweites Paar der Zughilfen ist. Nach der langen Zeit war es dann aber mal so weit sich ein neues Paar zu gönnen und die alten in den Ruhestand zu versetzen. :) Für mich die besten Straps, da wenn man mal beim Reißen z.B. einen Fehlversuch macht und die Hantel nach vorne oder gar nach hinten verliert, die Schlaufe sich durch deren kurze Länge sich schnell und sicher lösen lässt. Für Züge/Kreuzheben (etc) natürlich auch bestens geeignet. Die Straps lassen sich einfach um die Hantel wickeln und "festmachen", anstatt mit längeren Straps erstmal gefühlte 20mal die Hantel zu umwickeln.

materials are great, however these are too big for my wrists. you better buy their strong-enough version.

Great straps, very durable. Don't listen to the idiots, Clarence Kennedy uses these for 500lb cleans, they're more than likely good enough for you.
