Homemade Weightlifting Straps

May 9, 2012 By Gregor 5 Comments

Here is how you make yourself a pair of weightlifting straps similar to the IronMind Sew-Easy Lifting Straps (I really like these).

Of course you can try all kinds of different materials, but in the video they use some of those Everlast straps, cut the loop and tape the ends together.

Perfect size. Loop around the bar once. Quick setup.

Good video, just the way I tape my straps. The only difference we make in our club is to reverse the ends and make different straps for each hand. Makes them less likely to tear.

Like the guy here does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DRh2r29OI0

  Good point on reversing the ends.

I prefer the Do-Win/Muscle Driver straps, about 12€, durable, comfy and fast to release

  Look comfy. Did you get these from somewhere in Europe?
