SBD Straps: Classic vs. Figure 8 – Which model should you choose?
Straps allow you to hold the bar longer and free up your grip, so you can focus fully on executing the movement. Thanks to our patented weaving technique, SBD straps offer superior resistance to nylon, without sacrificing the comfort of a cotton fabric.
Classic straps or figure-8 straps?
| Classic straps | Figure-8 straps | |
|---|---|---|
| Size | Adjustable | 3 sizes available - S, M, L |
| Recommended use | Versatile | Maximum attachment to the bar, heavy loads |
| Exercises | Weight training, pulls | Deadlifts and variations |
Classic straps adjust freely to your preferred tightness: a simple and versatile choice for most exercises. Figure-8 straps, on the other hand, firmly wrap around the wrist for a secure attachment: a real plus when the load becomes heavy.
In summary
- Classic straps: universal size, versatile for all types of exercises
- Figure-8 straps: fixed sizes, designed for deadlifts and their variations, secure attachment to the bar
If you're unsure between the two models, consider your primary use: if you vary your exercises a lot, classic straps are more than enough. If deadlifts are your priority, figure-8 straps offer a real gain in security. For any questions, contact us on Instagram or by email at contact@sbd.fr.
