I have been struggling with my grip on heavy deadlifts lately and my coach in Toronto suggested I get some lifting straps. I have looked at the Harbinger cotton ones and some leather options but I am not sure which material provides the best grip on a knurled bar.

I also want to use them for lat pulldowns so I can focus more on my back and less on my forearms. I have heard that the cotton ones can sometimes slip if they get sweaty. Does anyone have experience with the figure 8 style straps? They look much more secure but I am worried they might be harder to set up.

What are the best lifting straps for 2026 in your opinion? I am looking for something durable that will not tear after a few months of heavy use. I am currently deadlifting four plates and my hands just cannot keep up with my back strength anymore.
