Product Description

Serious Steel Weightlifting Thumb Tape The hook grip is an essential and necessary grip for both the snatch and clean. To properly position the grip, the athlete must have a full grip on the bar, with the thumb tucked inside the fingers, with the fingers pulling the thumb around the bar. Athletes, especially among new athletes, will find that the hook grip can cause small blisters. Athletes will also find that in high rep work the hook grip can become a bit uncomfortable. Utilizing an elastic thumb tape can help alleviate this discomfort and improve the grip where the thumb meets the bar. It is not recommended to use traditional, non-elastic tape as this decreases the range of motion of the thumb. The Serious Steel Fitness thumb tape is comprised of an elastic cotton backing with a durable adhesive. This allows for increased range of motion, improved grip and an increased level of comfort when using hook grip. How To Use Please note that: 1. Where you start the tape on your thumb does not matter. It is where the tape ends. The end of the tape should end on top of your thumb (same side as your fingernail). This prevents curling and rolling. 2. You should always apply tape to dry hands PRIOR to beginning a workout. If you apply the tape to chalked up, sweaty hands, it will not stick correctly. Begin with the tape toward the top of the thumb and wrap the base of the thumb. TIP: Be sure not to pull it too tight as the tape will restrict the range of motion of the thumb. Once the tape gets to the base of the thumb, reverse the direction back toward the tip of the thumb. This provides an adequate cushion for the thumb during the hook grip. Once the tape reaches the top of the thumb, simply tear the tape and press it down. TIP: Be sure to tear the tape so that it is on top of the thumb (the same side as your thumb nail). This will prevent rolling and curling.
