Strained grip last year, still gets sore after gripping bars when lifting weights. Will a strap like this help relieve the pressure needed to grip?

They make a huge difference for exercises like shrugs, pull downs, chin ups, etc. any exercise where you're basically just trying to hang on.

Hi Inquisitive, yes our straps will definitely help reduce the strain and pressure. Our lifting straps are designed for this very purpose. Please let us know if you have any more questions or need more assistance. Rip Toned Customer Happiness Team

Injuries are such a nuisance! Yes, these should take the strain off your hands and more to the wrist. I'd also suggest keeping your rotator cuff strong too to avoid a shoulder problem - Bulletproof Your Shoulder has some good ex's in it. Happy training!

This will help with dead lifts and one arm row and hammer curls. This is what i use them for.

I don't think so. The strap isn't elastic; you use your body weight with the straps instead.

That's actually the reason i bought mine. Unfortunately while it does help, it doesn't completely work i also bought padded handle bar grips and worked on my riding grip. I still get numbness and pain when i ride but it takes much longer i can make small trips with no problem. I'm happy with mine just not happy with the price, they should have given you two for 25$ imo.

Earlier comments are all correct. My only suggestion is, like the others, is an adjustable strap that will put more of the weight on you shoulder rather than trying to lift the neck with you hand.

The smaller weights should. The strap double wraps using Velcro. If you're really small, you may need to overlap the weight to get it tight enough.

I've been using this for a while and it's an excellent device. As any strap, it can be made shorter or larger by pulling one of the ends; it's hard to explain in writing but any person who has one in your gym should be able to show it to you. Good luck!Ronald/Paraguay

No. This is a bit "painful" to use as you use it to roll with pressure along your muscles after a workout to release the tightness.

using a curl bar on a bench press creates less stress on the wrist, especially if u r using a preacher curl bench

For me, it gives support--without all the sweating that the other sleeves create. I play basketball with it-- I have arthritis, no longer have knee injury, so can't say that it would relieve pain from that. When I started wearing it, I was recovering from injury, and it seemed to help. I wear it now, for support. It is not a brace---

Kathy-- I personally have not had any issues with the weights slipping. I have used them a lot, but only on my ankles (says you can use them on your wrists as well). The Velcro strap is very long and allows you to make the weight as tight as you need it. Hope that helps

Really well, I'd say as good as a pair of dedicated wrist wraps. They work well for heavy bench presses, and squats (to help stabilize the bar). The straps are long, so they'll fit a variety of wrist sizes.

I believe it would work well. I have used this strap with my clients with all manner of stretching needs and various limitations. I have found that the straps enablesthem to stretch completely without additional assistance. Hope this helps.

I don't think so, unless you have another strap to help attach it to the barbell.

Ruben, they certainly have the potential to reduce wrist pain -- in using these such bars, the weight will be on your forearms as opposed to your hands. Make sure, too, that your saddle is properly adjusted -- ideally, your bodyweight will be distributed between your hands/arms, your saddle, and your feet. If your saddle is too high (or is angled forward), it may be that too much of your bodyweight is pressing into your hands. If you are buying these solely because of wrist pain, they very well may help -- but I personally would first make sure that your saddle is adjusted correctly :)

The strap is pretty flexible. I don't do a lot of heavy weights when I do bench presses but in general when you lean back against something it doesn't affect their stability.

Hey Anne, no need for any sleeve attachment. The regular olympic bar weights fit quite nicely. For that money is an excel bar. Lou

No the strap doesn't provide wrist support. Overall they are some good gloves to workout with. I will get another pair when these wear out. I'll just go buy separate straps.
