Product Information

And even though I also use chalk, I like having extra peace of mind that the bar won’t slip out of my hands once I start sweating. Using lifting tape reduces the amount of friction between the barbell and the skin on your thumbs when you use the hook grip. It provides support, protection, and grip strength to your thumbs, preventing injuries and enhancing performance. Carefully peel off the thumb tape, starting from the top and moving downwards, to avoid pulling on the skin. This can help you perform better in exercises that require a strong grip, such as pull-ups and deadlifts.

The stretch tape molds to the shape of your fingers for extra comfort, functionality, and a true custom fit. You can easily tear our thumb tape with no scissors needed, and get it off without the residue that leaves your hand sticky. It can be used to enforce proper form during exercise by creating a proprioceptive loop that ensures your ‘ass touches the grass’ during your squats or that you don’t blow up on the next Fran. The most common “technique” I see employed is simply taking a length of athletic tape and wrapping it around the palm several times.But if you use lifting tape that’s made from a flexible material, this usually isn’t an issue unless you wrap it too tight. This tape is manufactured with a specific number of vertical and horizontal threads that allow it to maintain its structure. LIMIT DIRECT PRESSURE AND PREVENTS INJURY: For weightlifters who are just starting, there are a couple of ways to decrease discomfort on the thumbs is by using thumb tape to limit direct pressure. ROCKTAPE’s unique unidirectional stretch pattern won’t reduce your range of motion but it will give you more game. It’s not as common in weightlifting or powerlifting, but some CrossFitters will wrap their hands with tape instead of using gymnastics grips for pullups, muscle-ups, and toes-to-bar.

The IWF states that tape can be worn on your thumbs and fingers but your fingertips must be exposed. When you use the hook grip frequently, you’ll want to protect your thumbs so you can avoid rips and tears and train pain-free. This allows the tape to conform to the shape of your thumbs so you can still bend and move them easily. Our tape will last an entire workout under typical conditions, but there may be times you snag it, didn't apply it as well as you thought or it gets worn out.
