What makes this lifting strap different from others on the market?
The Gymreapers strap features a built-in dowel that anchors your grip to the bar, reducing slip and fatigue—especially during heavy or high-rep pulling sessions.
Is the wrist padding comfortable during long strength training sessions?
Absolutely. We use dense 7mm closed-cell foam (not neoprene) to cushion your wrist without shifting or irritating the skin.
How do I use the dowel lifting straps?
Thread the strap through the ring and secure around your wrist. Place the dowel across your palm, then wrap the strap under and around the bar. As you grip, the dowel anchors the bar, locking your hold for a secure lift.
Are these straps good for deadlifts and heavy pulling?
Yes—these were specifically designed for heavy pulling movements. The dowel locks into the bar so you don’t have to over-grip, reducing fatigue and letting you focus on your pull.
How long do the straps last with heavy use?
Built with 38mm webbing, reinforced stitching, and a closed dowel design, these straps are made for years of high-volume training.

GYMREAPERS LIFTING STRAP WITH DOWEL – Designed for serious strength athletes, our dowel lifting strap delivers a locked-in grip and high-performance wrist support for heavy barbell work. Whether you’re deadlifting, rowing, or pulling for reps, the built-in dowel anchors your grip to the bar, minimizing fatigue and maximizing focus. Built for training intensity, the strap stays secure without slipping or twisting mid-set. Reinforced for durability and padded for comfort—this is your go-to tool for heavy pulling.
ANCHORED GRIP & DOWEL CONTROL – The built-in dowel sits securely between your hand and the bar, creating unmatched grip tension. It reinforces your hold so you can train heavier without worrying about slippage or fatigue. Designed for consistency and control, it keeps your grip locked in during high-rep or max-effort sets—so you can lift with full force every time.
7MM PADDED WRIST SUPPORT – The strap features dense 7mm foam padding that wraps comfortably around the wrist, eliminating pinch points and skin irritation. The padding is designed to stay in place through long training blocks while supporting the wrist under load. Built for athletes who don’t skip accessory work, this strap delivers all-day comfort through every rep and set.
DURABLE STRAP CONSTRUCTION – Built from ultra-strong polypropylene webbing, the strap resists fraying, stretching, and breakdown even under constant heavy use. Triple-reinforced stitching ensures long-term reliability. The tapered strap end makes wrapping faster and smoother while ensuring full coverage around any barbell, dumbbell, or pull-up station. Made for high-volume training and competition prep.
ADJUSTABLE SECURE FIT – Designed to accommodate all wrist sizes, the strap threads smoothly through a black-coated steel ring and locks in place for a stable hold. The quick-adjust system makes it fast to secure and just as easy to remove, even mid-session. With minimal bulk and maximum control, the streamlined fit keeps you focused on performance.

Helps reduce stress on hands, wrists, and forearms when exercising
I have a small home gym that features a bowflex machine, and even though most of me is perfectly capable of managing significant resistance levels, some exercises are difficult due to the strain they’re putting on my hands and wrists, as well as forearms.A friend suggested I look into wrist ‘hooks’ to help transfer some of the stress onto the stronger parts of my arms, but in looking around, it was generally expressed that hooks work well with bars, not so much with the D-rings I’m pulling.I found these straps to be pretty easy to put on and to use, just need to snug them down well on one’s wrists, and in one of the photos I included, I even showed how it’ll fit just forward of my smartwatch on my left arm.I’ll admit on first use it took some doing to get used to wrapping the strap around the handle and then to tuck the dowel into my palm. Once done though, it made the workout much easier in the sense of putting less strain on my supportive muscles and tendons…and believe me, having suffered severe RSIs in the past, I’m in no mood to repeat the experience. These should help me avoid it, and I noticed they provide good support and seem to have little issue with the roughly 80lb dynamic loads I’ve been pulling.I know a few complained about make quality, but mine seem to be fine, even after a two hour workout, and I further noticed no chafing or problems with my hands or wrists…indeed they were way less sore. I wasn’t sure the straps would provide good grip, but they do. I would only caution that if you’re pushing your limits it’s best still to have a spotter and if you feel yourself weakening or ‘breaking’, always best to stop what you’re doing.In general though, I think these are a great and inexpensive investment in protecting my arms and hands. Thumbs up.

Tighter grip on deadlifts.
The dowels make a big difference in grip with no slipping off the barbell! I’m very satisfied with this product from Gymreapers.

Grim reaper wraps are trash
If the option to give a zero was available these deserve it. Used them for 3 sets of dead hang (I weigh 250). The stitching began popping immediately. Provided photos of the end of the 3rd set. These are trash
