Your thumb pays the price on the hook grip
On a hook grip you trap your thumb under your index and middle finger. On a heavy pull that's where the whole load sits – and that's where it starts to hurt. The Super Stretchy Tape goes in between and takes friction and pressure off your thumb. The highly elastic, breathable fabric stays flexible through every movement, sits comfortably even in tight wraps and holds when the sweat starts running. Olympic weightlifting, CrossFit, powerlifting, functional training – you want it anywhere you pull.
One roll that keeps going longer
6.9 metres per roll, 5 centimetres wide – over 50% longer than a standard roll. Tape a few times a week and you'll notice it straight away: you reorder less often. You tear it by hand, so the scissors can stay in the drawer. After training the tape peels off clean – the skin-friendly adhesive doesn't stay on your thumb. Five colours to choose from: black, white, blue, red and pink. Functionally the colour makes no difference – take the one you like.

Customer reviews
Hook grip without tape works – it just isn't pretty. We keep a roll on the shelf at our box, and whoever pulls seriously heavy for the first time gets it handed to them. What I like most: after training you peel it off and your thumb is clean. No fiddling with adhesive residue.
