The details

Attention butter fingers, hook grippers, and the like…

I’d like you to meet a couple of fancy leather strips, I think you guys might hit it off.

Seriously, you’re missing out if you haven’t tried this style of straps yet.

Maybe you’re still using those typical long straps that have to be endlessly wrapped around the bar.

I know, even after you’ve fussed with them for a few minutes they still feel awkward and uneven. You’re losing your adrenaline so you begin the pull anyway.

Or maybe you’re using some kind of wrist-support-strap combo device and it fell apart or you want something more minimalist.

Whatever the case, you owe it to yourself to try something that just plain works.

I despised almost every strap that I tried, and I’ve tried many.

So I set out to make a strap… for myself.

Prototype after prototype…sucked. I tested all different materials, shapes, lengths.

Eventually, we created a prototype that wasn’t bad, eventually turning it into something that I actually kind of liked. Over time I tweaked it into something I loved.

Here’s why…

Within your first or second session and a little practice, these straps take seconds to grip the bar.

The leather is thick enough to be strong, but thin enough so gripping the bar with the straps feels the same as gripping the bar without.

This way I can more easily switch back and forth between my normal grip (hook) and using straps without the acclimation period.

Leather also feels and grips better than other materials.

Lastly, the weight distribution over the hand feels more natural without the tightening and cinching around the wrist joint.

If you’re anything like me, picky or dissatisfied with wrist straps you’ve used in the past, I’d recommend giving them a try.

    First pair of straps

    Having never ever used lifting straps, these were my first pair and I chose them because they are leather and minimal in bulk. I think overall they do help with grip when doing higher reps. For me they work well with the lower weight that I've been doing. The backside of the leather will probably scuff up but I'm looking forward to breaking these in and seeing how long they last.Main gripe is the back of the leather is a little itchy.

    Great Straps

    I use it on so much things. Comes in handy on weighted pull ups and when I’m dealing with overuse.I just can’t look at any other strap the same way after using these.

    Great grip aids

    These are my favorite wraps to use since they aid the grip instead of replacing it, and they’re so easy to put on. It’s good to use your natural grip if possible, but if you want to get rid of it as a limiting factor on an especially heavy or repetitive set, these will do the trick very nicely.

    Nice Lifting Straps

    I've been using these straps regularly for 6 months. They've broken in nicely and show no signs of damage. I like how fast and easy it is to set up and release the bar. Because of this, I've even been able to use them to assist with toes-to-bar when my grip fails. They help take a little pressure off my wrist joint during heavy pulling exercises, and give me all the grip I need. The price is right with good functionality and great durability.

    Give these a chance

    Ok. Safe to say that you need decent knurling on the bar for these to function properly, and they will take some time to break in. Use them on some high rep sets with low weight to break them in faster. Once they do, they are awesome. I barely feel like I’m wearing straps, and they grip very well to decent knurling. Won’t work well with smooth bars. 5 stars cuz they are accountable once you wear them in a bit

    Stoic Lifting Staps

    Took me a minute to learn. Was used to using some old straps for a while. But once that leather starts to break in, man these things are damn nice to have. Makes training heavy dubs real easy.

    Best Straps I’ve Used

    After trying many different types of straps I chanced upon these and thought I would give it a go. It turned out to be the best straps I’ve used especially since I love leather straps. The leather is stiff and thick out of the box but within a couple uses it softens and shapes to the bar. These have become my favourite lifting strap and I’ve let a few of my buddies try them to great responses. In fact, I’ll be looking to make another few orders on their behalf!

    Great straps

    Very sturdy straps. They took a few sessions to break into, but now they feel perfect. Not too long, so you definitely need to do some work. They provide the right amount of support to get the job done! Very happy with them.

    I never thought I would love a little piece of leather over my bulky 6-year-old lifting straps but I do. I see these lasting even longer. Thank you.

    Excellent performance

    I bought the lifting straps because I used the ones from my friend and love them. So I got my own pair. They’re just perfect for lifting heavy. Recommending them to everyone in the gym.

    Great Product!

    The Stoic Lifting Straps are a fantastic product! They broke in very quickly and are super efficient for extra support. My wife uses them too, so it's a double bonus! We've found them specifically helpful for both RDL's and Snatch Grip Deadlifts. It's that extra grip we need toward the end of a set, especially when the gym is a sweatbox. She stole the knee sleeves, so I can't comment on how good they are, but she hasn't given them back to me.

    Some Cool Straps

    Got these straps to replace my old, brandless fabric ones. A little stiff to start, and the design requires a small learning curve, but I've gotten used to them, and have begun to much prefer them due to the fact that they don't really allow you to cheat as much as conventional straps due.

    Lifting strap

    These straps are awful they don’t fit too loose the lifting strap itself too short no grip I’ve bough the stoic elbow and knee sleeves and I love them and I thought the lifting straps would be great too but I was wrong.

    Best Knee Sleeves, Wrist Wraps, and Lifting Belt

    I currently own all three and could not be happier with my products. Pros: stoic products are build to last. I have had there knee sleeves for about a year now and to this day they remain tight and have not lost their shape or support. Lifting belt was my first 10mm lifting belt purchase and was a huge fan from the moment I received it. wrist wraps are solid and comfortable! Cost is affordable without breaking the bank!

    Great for everyday lifting

    These wraps are great! They do take a little bit to break in, but overall good quality and easy to use.

    Solid!

    Take a few sessions to break in, but once they loosen up a bit, these straps are comfy and reliable. They seem like they won't wear out like every pair of nylon straps I've ever used.

    Not suitable for deadlifting

    These straps are too thick. You can not wrap them around the bar

    Lifting Straps

    I try not to use straps too much to help increase my grip strength, but sometimes if i tear my hands, the straps come in handy to get through training. These are good straps that get the job done when you need them.

    Surprised

    As someone who has always used the long wrist straps and then tried the figure 8 deadlift straps, I've always been curious of these short lifting straps. Easy to say I'm converted. I use these now for deadlifts and they're so much faster to set up than the other 2 options. They also work as good if not better. The Stoic brand are good quality and feel durable.

    Awesome gear!

    I want to thank you guys for your product I really like it a lot. I bought the belt, knee sleeve and wrist strap and wrap since then I never felt so safe in all of my lift and been pushing to the limit more specially ass to grass squat with the sleeve. I also recommend to all of my client and my lifting buddy since then that's the only brand that we used and order in the gym.
