Grip Strap - Lifting Straps with Red Lettering

Grip Strap Lifting Straps with Red Silicone Grip Surface

The Gym Generation lifting straps in black are classic lifting straps made from 80% cotton and 20% neoprene, with a band roughly 59 cm long and 4 cm wide and a red silicone grip surface carrying the GRIP STRAP lettering, which gives the band noticeably more bite than plain webbing. You wrap the band around the bar and put the loop around your wrist: the grip surface adds extra hold, and the load transfers into the band instead of your grip. Around 4 mm of neoprene padding at the wrist keeps the loop from digging in. One size, sold as a pair.

Made for These Exercises

Made for heavy pulling movements: deadlifts, lat pulldowns, pull-ups, rows and shrugs. Wherever grip strength tires before the back does, these straps take over the hold, in the gym and at home. From Gym Generation, tested in our own training since 2013. Shipped from Switzerland.

Black Band with the Red GRIP STRAP Print

This is the signature version of the range: a black band with the bold red GRIP STRAP lettering and red dotted pattern on the silicone grip surface, plus the Gym Generation patch on the loop. While the olive, beige and pink versions carry the lettering in black, the black version with the red print sets the strongest accent. Functionally identical to the coloured models, just in the original look.

Move More Weight Without the Grip Setting the Limit

On heavy pulling movements it is usually grip strength that caps the set, not the target muscle. You let go of the bar before your back or hamstrings are anywhere near done. Wrapped around the bar, lifting straps take that work off your grip: the load spreads into the band, your forearms tire later, and you get more clean repetitions with the focus on the target muscles.

Red Silicone Grip Surface for a Secure Hold

The band carries a red silicone grip surface with the GRIP STRAP lettering. That texture raises the bite of the band clearly, noticeably more hold than plain webbing gives you. Combined with cotton wrapped several times around the bar, you get a particularly firm, secure grip, especially on heavy, sweat-soaked sets.

Cotton Weave with a 59 cm Band

The band runs roughly 59 cm long and 4 cm wide, built from 80% cotton and 20% neoprene, tear-resistant and grippy, with around 4 mm of padding at the wrist so the loop does not dig in on heavy sets. That length gives you enough band to wrap several times around the bar and pull it tight. Reinforced stitching and ends hold up to high loads and intensive, repeated training.

Fitness Straps That Sit Securely and Go On Fast

The adjustable loop suits any hand size and gives you a firm hold on every exercise. Loop around the wrist, band a few turns around the bar, pull tight: these fitness straps sit securely and do not come loose even on the heaviest lifts.

Lifting Straps – Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Grip Strap different from the straps with the Gym Generation logo?
This version carries the red GRIP STRAP silicone surface on the band. The models with the embossed Gym Generation logo, such as the all-black version, give you the same hold, just with the logo instead of the lettering. Identical function, different look, purely a matter of taste.

Is the Grip Strap available in other colours?
Yes. Besides black with the red print, the range comes in olive, beige and pink, each with black GRIP STRAP lettering. Function, band and grip are identical across all of them, only the colour differs.

What do lifting straps actually do?
You wrap the band around the bar, which relieves your grip so the weight no longer hangs on your hands alone. That lets you move heavier loads securely and focus on the target muscles instead of letting go early.
