Grip fatigue is the enemy of a great deadlift — when your hands give out before your muscles are exhausted, your progress stalls and your personal bests stay out of reach. The CERBERUS Strength Figure 8 Lifting Straps solve that problem completely. Crafted from heavy-duty cotton canvas with a specialised weave for maximum durability, an industrial-strength sewn loop, and rated to 600kg — these are the same style chosen by top athletes at the World Deadlift Championships. They lock you onto the bar so you can focus entirely on your pull, increasing your work rate by up to 30%. Available in 4 sizes (28–34 inch). At just £22.99, these are the lifting straps that remove grip as the limiting factor in your deadlift forever.
Why Figure 8 Straps Are the Serious Lifter’s Choice
Figure 8 lifting straps are fundamentally different from standard loop straps — and for maximum deadlift performance, they’re in a different league. A standard loop strap wraps around the bar and relies on friction and hand grip to maintain contact. A figure 8 strap loops around both the bar and your wrist, creating a mechanical connection that locks you to the bar regardless of grip fatigue. You cannot drop the bar even if you wanted to — which means you can focus 100% of your mental and physical energy on the pull itself. The CERBERUS Figure 8 straps are built to the highest specification: heavy-duty cotton canvas with a specialised weave, industrial-strength sewn loop, and a 600kg rating that exceeds the requirements of even the most elite deadlifters in the world. The same style used at the World Deadlift Championships.
Real Life Usage Situations
🏋️ Maximum Deadlift Singles – Removing Grip as the Limiting Factor
When you’re attempting a new deadlift personal best, the last thing you want is grip fatigue ending the attempt before your legs and back have given everything they have. CERBERUS Figure 8 straps lock you to the bar mechanically, ensuring that grip is never the reason a maximum attempt fails. The 600kg rating means they’ll never be the limiting factor regardless of how strong you get, and the figure 8 design means the connection is secure from the moment you set up to the moment the bar is back on the floor.
🔁 High-Rep Deadlift Sets – Maintaining Technique When Grip Fades
High-rep deadlift sets — sets of 5, 8, 10, or more — are where grip fatigue becomes a genuine technical problem. As grip fades, technique breaks down, and the risk of injury increases. CERBERUS Figure 8 straps maintain a secure connection to the bar throughout every rep of every set, allowing you to focus on maintaining perfect technique rather than fighting to hold on. CERBERUS report that their straps can increase work rate by up to 30% — more reps, more volume, more progress.
🏋️ Strongman Rep Events – Deadlift for Reps Competition
Deadlift for reps is one of the most demanding strongman events — maximum weight, maximum reps, grip failing long before the legs and back. Figure 8 straps are the standard tool for this event, and the CERBERUS Figure 8 straps are the same style used by top athletes at the World Deadlift Championships. The mechanical lock to the bar allows athletes to focus entirely on driving their legs and maintaining back position rather than fighting grip, producing significantly higher rep counts than would be possible with bare hands or standard straps.
💪 Heavy Shrugs & Upper Back Work
Heavy barbell shrugs, rack pulls, and upper back exercises all suffer from the same grip fatigue problem as deadlifts — the target muscles can handle far more load than the hands can grip. CERBERUS Figure 8 straps solve this for every heavy pulling movement, allowing you to load the bar to the level your target muscles can actually handle rather than the level your grip can manage. The result is more effective upper back and trap development with less grip fatigue.
