🏋️ What Are Lifting Straps?

Lifting straps are supportive accessories used in strength training to help you maintain a secure grip on a barbell, dumbbells, or other pulling implements when grip strength is a limiting factor. They allow you to lift heavier loads or complete more reps by reducing grip fatigue.

If you tell me the exact “Maraton” model (length, material, design), I can do a more precise description.

📐 Typical Features of Maraton Lifting Straps

Here are features you’d expect (or hope to see) in a quality “Maraton” lifting strap:

Material

Strong woven cotton, nylon, or a blend with reinforcement. Durable enough to resist abrasion against bar knurling.

Length & Width

Usually around 20-25 inches long and 1.5 to 2 inches wide. Enough length allows you to wrap securely around the bar.

Wrist loop / anchoring

Many straps have a loop (lasso style) to slide over the wrist so the strap is anchored before wrapping the bar.

Stitching & reinforcement

Double stitching, reinforced ends, edge binding to prevent fraying.

Comfort / padding

Some straps include a padded wrist area (neoprene or foam) to reduce pressure, especially in longer sets.

Ease of release

Good straps let you release your grip quickly if needed (for safety).
