The 8-shaped Lifting Straps by Viking Fitness are wrist straps – weightlifting straps that significantly assist us with heavy pulley and bar pulls. They are very useful for back training as they effectively support the wrist and forearm to prevent injuries, while also transferring the weight to the large back muscles, which is the goal. The figure-eight wrist straps by Viking are much quicker and easier to use than regular straps. To use them, we pass the first loop over our wrist, wrap the strap around the bar, and then immediately pass the second loop over the wrist for maximum safety. They feature excellent durability and a non-slip surface that will provide a very strong grip during training.
