Who Is CERBERUS Strength?
CERBERUS Strength is a UK-based strength sports equipment brand that has become the go-to choice for competitive powerlifters, strongman athletes, and serious gym-goers worldwide. Named after the mythological three-headed guardian of the underworld, CERBERUS products are built to the same standard demanded by the world's strongest athletes — the people who deadlift 400kg+, compete at World's Strongest Man, and train at intensities that destroy inferior equipment. The Figure 8 Lifting Straps are one of their most iconic products: simple in concept, extraordinary in execution, and trusted at the highest levels of the sport.
What Makes Them the Best Lifting Straps Available?
- 💪 Rated to 600kg — the industrial-strength sewn loop and heavy-duty cotton canvas construction are rated to an extraordinary 600kg. Whatever you're lifting, these straps will never be the limiting factor.
- 🏆 World Deadlift Championship proven — the same style chosen by top athletes at the World Deadlift Championships. When the world's strongest deadlifters trust a piece of equipment, that's the only endorsement that matters.
- 📈 Increase work rate by up to 30% — by eliminating grip fatigue as a limiting factor, the Figure 8 straps allow you to focus entirely on the target muscle group, increasing your effective work rate and training volume by up to 30%.
- 🧵 Heavy-duty cotton canvas with specialised weave — the material choice is deliberate: cotton canvas provides the grip, durability, and comfort that synthetic materials can't match. The specialised weave maximises strength while maintaining the flexibility needed for a secure, comfortable fit.
- 🔐 Figure 8 design — locks you onto the bar — unlike standard loop straps, the Figure 8 design loops around both the bar and your wrist, creating a mechanical lock that keeps you connected to the bar even if your grip relaxes completely. No slipping, no adjusting, no distraction.
- 📏 4 sizes available — available in 4 sizes to ensure a secure, comfortable hold for every hand size. The right fit makes a significant difference to both comfort and performance.
Usage Cases — Who Needs These?
🏋️ 1. Deadlift Training — Break Through Your Plateau
The deadlift is the king of strength exercises — and grip fatigue is the most common reason lifters plateau before their actual strength limits. If your hands are giving out before your back, legs, and hips are exhausted, you're leaving gains on the table. The Cerberus Figure 8 straps lock you onto the bar and eliminate grip as a variable, allowing you to train your posterior chain to its actual limit. Whether you're chasing a 3-plate, 4-plate, or 5-plate deadlift, these straps will help you get there faster.
🏆 2. Competitive Powerlifting & Strongman
At the competitive level, every kilogram matters — and grip failure in training means missed reps, reduced volume, and slower progress. The Cerberus Figure 8 straps are the choice of World Deadlift Championship athletes for exactly this reason: they provide the most secure, reliable connection to the bar available, allowing competitors to train at maximum intensity without grip being a limiting factor. If you compete in powerlifting, strongman, or any strength sport, these straps are essential training equipment.
🔄 3. High-Volume Back Training — Rows, Shrugs & Rack Pulls
Grip fatigue doesn't just affect deadlifts — it limits every heavy pulling movement. Barbell rows, dumbbell rows, rack pulls, heavy shrugs, and Romanian deadlifts all suffer when grip gives out before the target muscle is adequately fatigued. The Cerberus Figure 8 straps allow you to train your back, traps, and hamstrings to genuine failure without grip being the limiting factor, dramatically increasing the effectiveness of every heavy pulling session.
🏋️ 4. Gym Beginners Building a Foundation
Lifting straps aren't just for elite athletes — they're a valuable tool for anyone who wants to train effectively without grip fatigue limiting their progress. For gym beginners who are building strength across all muscle groups simultaneously, straps allow the back and leg muscles to develop at their natural rate rather than being held back by grip strength that hasn't caught up yet. The Cerberus Figure 8 straps' 4-size range ensures a comfortable fit for every hand size.
🎁 5. The Gift for the Serious Gym-Goer
Finding a gift for someone who trains seriously is always a challenge — they're particular about their equipment and they already have the basics. The Cerberus Strength Figure 8 Lifting Straps are the gift that signals you understand their training: professional-grade equipment used by World Deadlift Championship athletes, at a price point that makes it an accessible and genuinely impressive gift. At £22.99 they're the perfect birthday or Christmas gift for any serious lifter.
Real-Life Usage Situations
- Dan, 29, competitive powerlifter: "I've been using Cerberus Figure 8 straps for two years and they're the only straps I'd recommend. The 600kg rating means I never think about them failing, the Figure 8 design locks me onto the bar completely, and the cotton canvas is far more comfortable than synthetic alternatives. My deadlift training volume has increased significantly since switching to these — I can do more sets and more reps because grip is no longer the limiting factor. At £22.99 they're exceptional value for competition-grade equipment."
- Mike, 35, gym regular: "I was stuck at the same deadlift weight for months because my grip was giving out before my back and legs were tired. A friend recommended the Cerberus Figure 8 straps and the difference was immediate — I added 20kg to my working weight in the first session because I could actually focus on the pull rather than fighting to hold the bar. The quality is immediately obvious and they've held up perfectly after 18 months of heavy use. Best £22.99 I've spent on gym equipment."
- Sarah, 26, bought as a gift: "My boyfriend competes in strongman and I wanted to get him something he'd actually use rather than another protein shaker. The Cerberus Figure 8 straps were perfect — he was genuinely impressed by the quality and the 600kg rating, and he told me they're the same straps used at the World Deadlift Championships. He uses them every training session. At £22.99 they're an outstanding gift for any serious lifter."
Why £22.99 Is Outstanding Value
- Premium lifting straps from brands like Eleiko, Rogue, or Titan typically cost £30–£60+ 💸
- Mid-range lifting straps from brands like Harbinger or Schiek? Usually £15–£30 — but without the 600kg rating, the World Deadlift Championship credentials, or the CERBERUS construction quality 🏷️
- Cheap lifting straps from generic brands? £5–£12 — but with inferior materials, weak stitching, and no performance credentials that will fail under heavy loads 😐
- At £22.99, the Cerberus Strength Figure 8 Lifting Straps give you 600kg rated construction, World Deadlift Championship proven design, heavy-duty cotton canvas, Figure 8 mechanical lock, 4 sizes, and up to 30% work rate increase — competition-grade lifting straps at an accessible price 🏋️
