DRSKIN training extras
Twenty-six-inch lifting straps in a cotton weave, in two colourways. The only piece in the range that is not worn, and the shortest shelf we have.
- 1 style
- 2 colourways
A lifting strap does one job: it takes the grip out of the equation on a heavy pull, so the back and the legs give out before the fingers do. Twenty-six inches is the length that wraps a standard bar twice for most hands, and that is the number to compare when you are choosing between two pairs. This shelf holds one product in two colourways and it is honest to say that it exists because people who buy the tights asked for it, not because a strap belongs in a catalogue of base layers. If you came here for clothing, the other seven shelves are the ones to read.

The rest of the training extras rail
Prices are the ones from our last update; a DRSKIN habit updates them on a schedule, and the figure at the till is the one that counts.

Questions about DRSKIN training extras
What twenty-six inches of strap is for, whether you need one, and why this shelf holds a single product.
How long are the DRSKIN lifting straps and does the length matter?
Twenty-six inches, which is the length that wraps a standard bar about twice for most hands. That is the number worth comparing when you are choosing between two pairs: shorter straps take fewer wraps and come loose sooner, longer ones leave a tail you have to tuck.
Do you need lifting straps if you already train in DRSKIN kit?
They solve a different problem. A strap takes the grip out of the equation on a heavy pull so the back and the legs give out before the fingers do; nothing else on this site does anything for your hands. If your deadlift stops because of your grip rather than your back, this is the piece.
Why is there only one thing on this DRSKIN shelf?
Because it is the only piece in the range that is not worn. It exists because people who bought the tights asked for it rather than because a strap belongs in a catalogue of base layers, and we would rather admit that than pad the shelf out with things we do not make.
