Our Take
A heavy-duty figure 8 lifting strap designed for serious strength and powerlifting athletes who want to eliminate grip as a limiting factor on deadlifts, rows, and shrugs. Gymreapers positions these towards the more committed end of the market — a step up from basic loop straps, priced competitively against established brands like Harbinger and Rogue.
Key Features
Figure 8 double-loop design that locks the wrist to the bar without requiring the user to maintain tension
Constructed from thick, tightly woven cotton webbing with a reinforced stitching line along stress points
Available in multiple sizes (typically S/M and L/XL) to accommodate different wrist circumferences
Black colourway with Gymreapers branding embroidered rather than printed, improving durability of the logo
Padded neoprene wrist section to reduce chafing and pressure during heavy sets
Compatible with standard barbells and trap bars; less suited to thicker-diameter implements
Our Verdict
Buy these if you're pulling serious weight and want your grip completely removed from the equation on accessories or deadlift working sets. Powerlifters and bodybuilders will get the most from them. If you train Olympic lifts, need versatility across movements, or are a beginner, simpler loop straps are the more sensible choice.
