Lift heavier for more reps with the assistance of Olympic Lifting Straps. Quickly and easily slip these straps around your wrist joint to help connect your wrists and hands to the bar or handle. This allows lifters to focus on the lifts without worrying about grip. These straps are 10” long (shorter than standard Lifting Straps) and sewn into a single closed loop. This loop and short length makes the Olympic Lifting Straps ideal for quick-release movements like snatches and clean and jerks.
REP’s Olympic Lifting Straps are tough – made from polyester, which is comfortable yet durable. They’re small (1” wide) and lightweight; throw them in your gym bag, taking up minimal space. Olympic Lifting Straps are sold in pairs with a right and left strap, and they’re available in black, white, or red with a white REP logo.

Wrist wraps are secured around the wrist joint to support it, typically during heavy presses (think of powerlifters maxing out on bench). Straps also wrap around your wrists, but they have excess material that is intended to also wrap around the equipment – connecting your hands to the bar or handle. This allows you to not solely rely on your grip; your wrists can bear some of the weight, too. You most typically use wraps for push exercises and straps for pull exercises; you wouldn’t need a strap for a press (although some lifters like the support of wraps for pulls).
Lifting Straps are longer and require one end to loop through the other, which can allow for a tighter, more secure grip. Olympic lifting straps are shorter and feature a single closed-loop design. This allows for a safer and more instant release of the bar, which can be more beneficial for quick-release movements like snatches.
