Your grip failing before your muscles do is one of the most frustrating limiters in strength training — and the right lifting straps eliminate it entirely. The CERBERUS Heavy Duty Canvas Lifting Straps are built from a unique cotton canvas blend that bites into the bar’s knurling for maximum security — providing a fundamentally different grip feel from standard cotton or nylon straps. Industrial-strength stitching for long-term durability, a loop folded on the outside for extra wrist comfort, and available in two sizes: Classic (22”) at £12.99 and Big Boy (29.5”) at £14.99 — the Big Boy ideal for larger wrists or axle bar deadlifts. Sold as a pair. From just £12.99, these are the everyday loop straps that give you the confidence to lift heavier and train longer.
Canvas Loop Straps vs Figure 8 Straps – Which Do You Need?
CERBERUS offers two distinct lifting strap designs — both available at Altoe. The Figure 8 Lifting Straps (£22.99, post #91) create a mechanical lock between the bar and the wrist — the bar cannot be dropped even if grip fails completely, making them the choice for maximum deadlift singles and strongman events where absolute security is required. The Heavy Duty Canvas Loop Straps are the everyday training choice — they wrap around the bar and provide a secure grip enhancement that can be released quickly if needed, making them more versatile for exercises like rows, pull-ups, and rack pulls where the ability to release the bar is important. The canvas blend’s unique bite into knurling provides more grip security than standard cotton loop straps, and the two size options cover every wrist size and bar diameter including the axle bar.
Real Life Usage Situations
🏋️ Deadlifts – Grip Security for Working Sets & Volume
The most common use for loop straps — wrapping around the bar for working sets and volume deadlift work where grip fatigue would otherwise limit training quality. The CERBERUS canvas blend bites into the bar’s knurling more effectively than standard cotton straps, providing a more secure connection that doesn’t slip under heavy loads. The Classic 22” length is ideal for standard Olympic barbells; the Big Boy 29.5” provides additional wrapping for larger wrists or when extra security is needed.
🏋️ Axle Bar Deadlifts – The Big Boy Advantage
The axle bar’s 50mm diameter (vs the standard 28–29mm Olympic bar) requires more strap length to wrap securely — and the CERBERUS Big Boy (29.5”) is specifically designed for this purpose. The extra length accommodates the larger diameter of the axle bar while still providing the canvas blend’s characteristic bite into the smooth or lightly textured surface of the axle. Essential kit for any strongman athlete who trains axle deadlifts regularly.
💪 Barbell Rows & Back Training – Grip-Free Back Development
Heavy barbell rows, T-bar rows, and cable rows are where grip fatigue most commonly limits back training — the target muscles (lats, rhomboids, rear delts) can handle far more load than the hands can grip for extended sets. CERBERUS Canvas Loop Straps allow the back muscles to be trained to true fatigue without grip becoming the limiting factor, and the loop design allows the straps to be released quickly at the end of each set — more practical than Figure 8 straps for the frequent loading and unloading of back training.
🔼 Pull-Ups & Weighted Pull-Ups – Grip Endurance Through High-Rep Sets
High-rep pull-up sets and weighted pull-ups are where grip fatigue accumulates most rapidly — the combination of bodyweight plus added load over multiple sets creates significant grip demand. CERBERUS Canvas Loop Straps wrapped around the pull-up bar provide grip security through extended pull-up sets, allowing the lats and biceps to be trained to genuine fatigue without grip failing first. The canvas blend’s bite into the pull-up bar’s knurling or texture provides more security than smooth nylon straps.
🎁 The Essential Gym Bag Gift
At from £12.99 for a pair, the CERBERUS Heavy Duty Canvas Lifting Straps are the most affordable and immediately useful gym gift available — every serious strength athlete who deadlifts, rows, or does weighted pull-ups benefits from quality lifting straps. The two size options (Classic and Big Boy) cover every wrist size, and the CERBERUS canvas blend quality makes them a gift that will outlast cheaper alternatives by years.
