Product : Valeo Lifting Straps
Valeo makes a lot of work out equipment. Today we will be reviewing the lifting straps they make. You can find them here on their website.
Price : 10/10
You can pick these up through their website, as well as across the web for a range of prices all coming to less than $10 USD. For a quality pair of lifting straps that is definitely a good price.
Durability : 9/10
These straps are fairly durable and do hold their own when lifting over three hundred pounds easily. Durability is a must, if they break - so would you.
Comfort : 8/10
They do fit snug when lifting and in use, while being loose enough other times so that you don't go crazy. As with most straps, they will leave marks on your wrist after being in heavy use. They have built in wrist padding as well - which is a definitely huge plus.
Benefits : 10/10
Investing in lifting straps is investing in your growth. Having lifting straps can allow you to go above the chain of strength to hit your traps and back heavy - even if you aren't there yet with your forearms. They are great for isolation movements - such as shoulder shrugs, as well as for other movements like bent over rows and dead lifts.
Overall : 9/10
We Recommend : Go for it.
The combination of pricing as well as benefits of utilizing a pair of lifting straps makes this a definite recommendation.
