Schiek Sports Model 1000-DLS Deluxe Dowel Lifting Straps

Great product. Does take time to get used to since they don’t wrap all the way around a bar or handle like the old school pair. Still very comfortable.

Great straps for liffting

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.

Scheik makes some of the the best weightlifting products on the market. I have been lifting heavy for many years and these straps are the best hands down. I have used the ones without the dowel and the ones with the metal hooks and those break down very quickly. I have had them rip on the very first lift because they were cheap pieces of crap. Not these, these are the best on market. I have had some that have lasted over a year. That's pretty good when you're lifting 500 + lbs with them. I would highly recommend this product for serious powerlifters or weightlifters in general. Chalk works better but who wants to carry a bag of chalk around the gym and get chalk everywhere. So messy.

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.

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.

I've used these straps for years. I'm on my second set (only because I left the first set in the gym after four years of use (and there was nothing wrong with them). Product holds up extremely well and I lift heavy. I routinely deadlift 405lbs for reps, so I have put these straps through heavy use. The new pair is identical to the first, so I expect the same. I have average size hands (I'm 5'11") and the length of the straps is spot on. If you have large hands, I can see the strap being too short. The wrist closure is very comfortable and sturdy (it will never come unattached).

Haben bei mir 8 Jahre gehalten bis ich ein neues Paar bestellt habe. Sitzen sehr gut an dem Handgelenk und sind sehr einfach zu verwenden.

Look great! Should be durable.

I’ve been using these for long time! They very nice and comfortable and very good quality! Definitely worth the money! I’ll highly recommend to anyone who’s a gym enthusiast.

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.
