Schiek Sports Model 1000-DLS Deluxe Dowel Lifting Straps

This is my 3rd or 4th pair of this style lifting strap and it wont be my last. I like how its not a long strap so there isn't a ton of extra material to keep looping around. I typically use them for deadlifts, and multiple back movements. They are amazing and have never failed me. Super comfortable around my wrists with the added padding and the dowel at the end helps really lock the strap in place.

I used a pair of these for years and they're the best deadlifting straps. The dowel design is so easy to use there's no messing around with annoying longer straps and wasting time to cinch your grip just right - these just fall into place perfectly every time. Lasts ages. The only reason I bought a new pair is I'm in a different country and just got back into heavier deadlifting for reps of around ten. I've gotten to a weight that I just cannot hold onto the bar on the latter reps unless I use a mixed grip. I'm not a fan of mixed grip at all as that puts your back and body out of balance. Use these straps to easily maintain a double overhand grip and never look back.

i have used this style of strap for 10 years now and tried many others as well. Personal preference of course and others may like other strap styles. What I like about them is the padded wrist loop can be adjusted to assess comfort level. The dowel allows for superior grip and keeps the strap tight around the bar. A few people have said that the dowel setting leads to loose wrap on the bar. This is simply remedied by wrapping the strap a couple times, corskskrew style around the bar, the dowel does not have to sit in the center of your palm by any means. Anyway, I am sure everyone has their preferred wraps, but these ones are definitely extremely useful throughout the gym.

Good quality

These looked like a pair of straps I had many years ago that I LOVED. I read the other negative review (at the time I'm writing this there is only one review, and it's very negative) but decided to try 'em anyway. I don't know what the other reviewer was trying to lift that he couldn't get the straps to work, but these things are amazing. I HATE traditional straps that are a pain to wrap. These things are simple, fast and even more effective than traditional straps. The dowel provides just enough of a lip that it almost feels like you're using hooks. The padding is super thick so they are very comfortable on the wrist. Awesome product.

Look around, Schiek makes the best lifting straps out there. These were my first pair of any such weightlifting straps, and I can say I'm happy with my purchase. You do not wind these around the bar in a conventional manner, instead they cover bar a little over 1 revolution, depending on the width of the bar; the dowel placed at the end of the strap allows you to wrap only once and tighten the grip in a throttling manner. Takes a while to get used to but they are much more convenient to use than the conventional style allowing you to get a secure grip in two motions. Some say the strap isn't long enough while in my personal experience I find it is more than enough, sometimes even requiring adjustment in wrist placement since the dowel can become uncomfortable on your palm when overwrapped on a bar. I suppose those who come from a conventional strap background may find them difficult to become accustomed to. Due to it's design it should not be used cleaning or an serious weight while deadlifting. Overall I find them worth their shortcomings, it cuts the wrapping procedure to a fraction of what it usually is and it's much easier to find their 'sweet spot' in grip for two handed excercises. I would recommend this to any of my friends having explained the differences between these and conventional straps. They appear to be extremely sturdy and well built, padding is extra nice too.

I bought these actually by mistake thinking they were just straps without the dowel. I had bought them and they were all ready shipped so might as well try them out right? I actually like them more than I thought I would. I really do not have the best of grip (am working on that) but can lift so much more with straps. Pros: Foam padding for the wrist so the straps won't dig in like other straps; Once you figure out how to use them and have a little practice, these are very quick to lock into place; With normal straps, it matters how you put them on your wrist and which one is right and left. These have no right and left, just depends on how you want to tighten the Velcro; Velcro seems very durable and should last a long time; Cons: Takes some practice to get these on without the other hand at first.; If you have a new barbell, these have the potential to wear out quick; Short strap but just the right size for me to get it tight and comfortable. I would recommend these to anyone I worked out with.They are overall made with lifting in mind and work like a champ so far. I gave these 4 start just because I see potential for them to wear down faster than I would like.

Love that these are made in the USA. The straps themselves are well made and well designed, and should, as a 64 year old lady, help me achieve my very first pullup.

Comfortable and easy to use. Significant upgrade to traditional straps

Look great! Should be durable.

Ich habe die Zughilfen kurz nach Neujahr (8.1.2015) bestellt und, obwohl sie aus amerika stammen, waren sie am 16. 1. 2015 da. Also dabei kann man nichts aussetzen. Von der Qualität her sind sie auch Top. Gute Schaumstoffpolsterungen für die Handgelenke und der Verschleiß der Stofflasche, die man um die Hantelstange wickelt, ist nicht vorhanden! Sie passen auch auf etwas schmalere Handgelenke ohne Probleme und man merkt gleich beim ersten Mal ausprobieren, dass man die Unterarme entlastet und nicht mehr so fest zupacken muss, um die Hantel in Händen zu halten. Bei Zugübungen mit Maximalkraftversuchen einfach genial da mein die Eine oder Andere Wiederholung aus seinem Rücken ruskitzeln kann. Kaufempfehlung, auch wenn sie am Anfang etwas überteuert wirken, sie sind ihren Preis wert.

Ich habe die Zughilfen jetzt seit ein paar Monaten im Einsatz und kann nur sagen: Wow, was für ein Game Changer! Wenn du im Gym ernsthaft mit Gewichten arbeitest, sind Zughilfen ein absolutes Muss. Verarbeitung und Design: Erstmal zur Verarbeitung – die Zughilfen sind echt hochwertig und super robust. Sie bestehen aus einem dicken, strapazierfähigen Material, das auch bei schweren Gewichten nicht nachgibt. Das Design mit dem Dübel macht das Anlegen und Abnehmen echt einfach und schnell. Komfort: Der Tragekomfort ist ebenfalls top! Die Riemen sind schön gepolstert, was das Handgelenk schont und den Druck beim Heben von schweren Gewichten minimiert. Ich habe sie bei verschiedenen Übungen ausprobiert, von Deadlifts bis hin zu Rows, und ich habe nie das Gefühl gehabt, dass sie unangenehm drücken oder scheuern. Grip und Funktionalität: Der Grip ist einfach spitze! Egal, wie viel Gewicht man auflegt, man hat immer ein sicheres Gefühl. Ich habe vorher bei schwereren Sätzen oft Angst gehabt, die Stange könnte mir aus den Händen rutschen, aber mit den Zughilfen kann ich mich voll und ganz auf meine Technik konzentrieren, ohne mir Gedanken über das Festhalten machen zu müssen. Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis: Klar, der Preis ist vielleicht etwas höher als bei anderen Zughilfen, aber für die Qualität, die man bekommt, ist es absolut gerechtfertigt. Sie sind langlebig und bieten den besten Komfort, den ich bisher ausprobiert habe. Fazit: Die Schiek Zughilfen sind ein echtes Upgrade für das Training. Sie bieten nicht nur einen hervorragenden Halt, sondern sind auch angenehm zu tragen.

Las segundas que tengo y su calidad es tremenda. Las anteriores me duraron 8 años dándole caña y si estas me duran la mitad, quedo conforme.
