My grandson wanted these to work out.Can never go wrong with this Brand...Period!!!!I used to use a cheap brand of straps from a third party seller and they kept breaking. I decided to bite the bullet and invest in a nice pair and I couldn't be happier. These have a rating of 1,000 pounds which ensures both noobs and gym rats will get good use of them (good luck ever reaching that potential!) I also like having them attached to me during rests instead of the traditional ones which fall off when not in use. Overall if you are not lifting super heavy you should be fine with inferior straps but if you are moving big boy weight then these are more for you. Also, it's worth mentioning that I had a pair of gloves from this company that fell apart shortly after the warranty expired. They were quick to send replacements and took the old ones back to see if it was a manufacturing error or if their design needs reworked. I was very impressed with this and for that reason sport head to toe Schiek gear. This company cares about its reputation and that is something I have a lot of respect for as a consumer.Schiek Sports Power Lifting Straps (1000-PLS) are the best high-quality lifting straps i have ever used! I have been bodybuilding for over 16 years and these are simply the best! I used to use old standard wraps, but they would rub my wrists raw when using super heavy weight on bent over barbell rows and shrugs. With the padding, i never have any problems with my wrists getting damaged. I saw a lot of main bodybuilders like Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman use these in all of their workout videos. They swore by them. I understand why because now i swear by them as well. Once i tried them, i have used them ever since! There are a lot of knock of brands trying to imitate them, but the quality is nothing in comparison! That is the truth! I you want straps... buy Schiek Lifting Straps! You wont go wrong!Really great for deadlifts. Much better than any other deadlift strap I usedThese straps hold my fat ass when I’m doing pull ups and really engage my lats. I highly recommend these for anyone who is serious about lifting. The extra reps you can accomplish with these should turn me from a zero to a hero in a few months!First I'd like to say how awesome these are, very happy with this purchase.But... I did have to make a slight modification to them, so right out the box these are not 5 stars. At the end of the strap that wraps around the bar is a small strip of velcro, not the soft side but the hard porcupine side. From reading the packaging it's meant to fasten the straps up around the wrist to keep the material out of the way. The problem is when you wrap the strap around the bar your palm will press against this, it's uncomfortable and unnecessary. I simply cut the threading holding the strip down and removed it on either strap, simple fix and now they're perfect. Not sure why Schiek felt this was necessary, but they have another version which is even worse that has dowels at the end that again make gripping the bar uncomfortable.I didn't know that these things existed until a few weeks ago. I was having problems doing deadlifts as the weights kept slipping out of my hand. The trainer got me a pair of these things to try. Wow, although they are a little tricky to get the hang of, once you do, they improve your grip on things by 100%. I was able to easily lift another 20lb without worrying that the weights were slipping. They also work great for shoulder shrugs and anything that involves a pulling (as opposed to pushing) motion.These are comfortable, the padding works well and I think are good value. As I said, getting them wrapped around the weight will feel awkward at first, but once you get the hang of it, you'll wonder what you did without them.In my opinion, these are essential equipment for anyone serious about working out. Love them!Dies ist mein zweites Par.Die ersten habe ich seit 14 Monaten.Leider löst sich der Schaumstoff vom Rest etwas ab.Dies wird vermutlich der Waschmaschine geschuldet sein, ich habe sie einige Male in die Waschmaschine geschmissen weil sie arg unangenehm rochen.Diese werden nur durch Handwäsche gereinigt.Ich finde sie etwas zu Teuer doch die Qualität ist an sich gut.Verschluss top.Nutzbar als Handgelenkbandage und Zughilfe.A más de un año de uso lo único que le pasó es que se descosió un poco las cintas que se enrollan en la barra. Aclaró fue hasta después de un año de uso, con pesos no menos de 50 kg por lado.Solo los mandé a re coser con el zapatero y como nuevos. Excelente compra.Super comfortable, the fact that they used a metal bracket means this thing is going to last for a long time. I’m not sure why that there’s a bit of Velcro at the end of the strap, sometimes that can be a little uncomfortable. Depends on how wrap the strap around the bar.Needed an upgrade once I started hitting 4 plates in my deadlifts and rack-pulls. Finally I can work on 5 plates with these. Nylons just made my arms bleed for no reason. I'll have to comeback later for the durability and value for money, but they seem good for now.best lifting straps in my opinion, these are the 2nd pair i own. nice padded wrist area especially on the heavy lifts they do not dig into your wrist and feeling like they cut blood circulation to your hands compared to the non padded or barely and padding ones. it is on the pricey side, but you get what you pay and i believe these are worth the price i pay
