The knee sleeves fit perfectly! The price-quality ratio is great. And also a local Dutch company that works from their passion makes it complete.

Top quality stuff and in addition the personal attention to give just a little extra motivation is really an added value. For questions and comments always quick responses via the socials, a short chat to help you on your way or to boost the motivation.

More confident and stronger with 7mm knee sleeves. Yesterday I trained for the first time with the knee sleeves.. I felt more confident and had no pain in my knee afterwards. So I dared to go further now!! Really recommended.

What are Lifting Straps?
Lifting Straps are bands that you wrap around your wrists and the barbell/bar to strengthen your grip during pulling movements. They shift the focus away from your hand strength, so your target muscles do more work, useful for deadlifts, rows, RDLs, pull-ups, and much more
Why use Lifting Straps?
Less grip fatigue, more control over the bar
Better training to the desired volume/intensity
More consistent technique with heavier or higher repetitions
When should you rather not use Lifting Straps?
During exercises where you need to be able to quickly let go of the bar. Straps do not replace technique or rehabilitation advice.
