Attention weight lifters! Trap Straps were made 13 years ago of which I still use the original pair to this day! I used to use the fabric/nylon wrap type that most weight lifters in the gym use. I was in Korea was attempting to shrug 450lbs. on a hammer strength machine when my left strap completely ripped apart! Well, being in Korea, weight lifting supply stores were not readily available to me. I went to a hobby shop to see if they had any fabric that I could use to attempt to make another pair of "Crap Straps" that I could rip again! Well, not much to my surprise, there was no fabric available, but I did notice some other types of materials. Leather was the most expensive, but very nice looking and extremely tough! So I bought some and started to design a strap that would hopefully be as strong and useful as those fabric ones everyone uses. Well, to my surprise, I stumbled upon a design that is far superior to any strap I have ever tried. For the past 13 years I have never thought about marketing the "Trap Straps", but have given a few away as gifts to my friends and family who weight lift. I have gotten so many comments about the Trap Straps, with the most common being that they have gotten so dependent upon using the Trap Straps that if the Trap Straps are forgotten at home, etc. then they will more often than not skip the workout all together! I know exactly how they feel. Grip is everything! Don't let the name of the Trap Straps fool you. Albeit the Trap Straps ARE superior for grip strength on a set of heavy dumbbells or barbells for doing SHRUGS! But they can be used for ANY exercise requiring Grip! Yes, grip strength is built when weight lifting, but it shouldn't be what you are trying to build when you do shrugs, lat pull-downs, rows dead-lifts etc. When you do a shrug you are trying to build TRAPS, Lat pull-downs are used to build...Your LATS, and so on, they are not grip building exercises. Your grip will give out long before your huge Latissimus muscles will fatigue, Your grip will fail long before your TRAPS do, and what happens is that you either need to re-grip in the middle of a workout and start again or stop the set all together because your grip has reached complete failure! Your confidence to try a heavier set has gone out the door! This wont happen with the Trap Straps! Actually, the complete opposite will occur. You may realize that when you don't need to worry about "holding on", you can concentrate more on the muscle group you are putting emphasis on. At the same time a fantastic phenomena will happen, you will want to go for something a little heavier on the next set, and the set after that! True confidence. The Fabric Straps? Well, Those straps are definitely better than nothing at all, but are cumbersome to wrap and cause a lot of pain that I am sure you are familiar with when they rip into your wrists!. Often times one of the straps is put on easily with the use of both of your hands then the other hand has to magically wrap itself around the bar. And if by the time you have managed to wrap the second one, if the first didn't come loose by then, you can start your set. What a pain in the butt, not to mention your wrists! Trap Straps can be applied at exactly the same time with one hand! And when you Strap in You are locked in! The heavier you go, the better the hold. Trap Straps grip so well, they keep gripping even when you stop! Serious Grip, Serious lift capability, and a Strap that has lasted me for 13 years through 160lbs dumbbell shrugs, 600lbs barbell shrugs, and rows and lat pull-downs that would make the pros think twice! Trap Straps, buy them for some serious weight lifting, buy them for LIFE!

Whether its a "crap strap" or some really fancy "better built" version of the same thing, TRAP STRAPS are truly different and very unique. NOT ANOTHER KNOCKOFF!!! AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO STITCHING, WHETHER ITS #69 OR 92 BONDED THREAD, IT DOESN'T MATTER. HOW ABOUT NO THREADS, BECAUSE SOONER OR LATER THOSE LITTLE THREADS WILL BREAK, BUT NOT WITH A TRAP STRAP!!!
Another important note is that there are not different levels of Trap Straps i.e. light, medium, heavyweight, or pro models that you have to decide to choose from, even if you are a wimpy light weight person, or you want the pro model even though your not going pro. Let's face it, we all want the best when it comes to our bodies, so why not have the best regardless of how you workout? Whether you're a Pro, or just starting out, Trap Straps will be the best, most comfortable, effective and most importantly, the last weight lifting Strap you will ever have to buy! They will stay with you throughout your growth and you will never have to worry about buying a new pair because you can lift more weight!
Each set is custom fit and made for YOU when we receive your order!
"Trap Straps, Grip so well they keep holding on even when you can't" Trap Straps are used for ANY exercise requiring a strong grip. Work the muscle to failure, those days of stopping because you cant hold on anymore are gone forever...Trap Straps WILL make you grow, Lat Pull Downs will get heavier, Dumbbells will get heavier for one arm dumbbell rows, low rows will increase, even curls and benches will increase in weight because along with an increase in grip strength comes an increase in confidence to hold weight you have never held before. Don't let the name fool you, while Traps Straps are ideal for dumbbell and barbell shrugs, they are a necessity in ANY AND ALL exercises which require you to...HOLD ON! Not only are they an extremely versatile weight lifting strap, they also last. Unlike those fabric or nylon wraps that are cumbersome to apply to the bar and don't last very long, Trap Straps are made of pure LEATHER! The pair that I use are 13 years old. Yes 13 YEARS old and I still use them to this day. They aren't as "pretty" as the ones you will get with your order, but they are even more effective than when they were brand new. This is due to the strength and durability of genuine quality leather. The more you use your Trap Straps the better they will conform not only to the bars you attach them to but also to your wrist and hands. The unique yet simple design eliminates the use of both gloves and wrist wraps because you get an incredible grip on whatever you attach them to as well as extreme support to both of your wrists due to the width of the Trap Straps. Gloves can still be used if desired, but is not necessary any more.
