Lifting straps are the accessory that means weak forearms never limit your performance on pulling movements again. Wrapped around the bar and the wrist, they create a mechanical connection between bar and arm that removes the need to actively squeeze. The result: you can focus 100% on the target muscle. The RDX range offers several types depending on level and use. Order before 12:00 for same-day dispatch from Meyrin and delivery in 1 to 2 working days.

Straps vs hooks: what's the difference?

Wrap straps (S4, W1)
The strap is wrapped around the bar and the wrist. The grip is firm and adjustable. The hand stays mechanically involved. The recommended format for most exercises and levels.
Figure-8 strap
Pre-formed, instant hook-on with no wrapping. Ideal for circuits and HIIT where you change exercise often. Less adjustable than classic straps.
Metal hooks (W5)
The grip is entirely mechanical — no involvement of the finger flexors. For absolutely maximal loads or lifters with finger joint problems. Less versatile, as they are hard to release quickly and safely.

Frequently asked questions

Which exercises should I use straps for?
Barbell rows, bent-over rows, lat pulldowns, shrugs, Romanian deadlifts, farmer walks, trap bar deadlifts. In general, any pulling exercise where your grip gives out before the target muscle.
How do you tie a lifting strap?
Pass the free end under the bar, bring it back over the top, then wrap it in the opposite direction to the bar's rotation during the lift. Tighten by pulling. The wrapping creates an automatic clamping force under load.
Do straps wear out?
Yes. Inspect the stitching after every intense session. A frayed strap, or one whose stitching is coming loose, must be replaced immediately — a break under load can be dangerous.
