Excellent Lifting Tape – Tested by a Gym Owner and Coach As a longtime gym owner, Functional Fitness coach, and athlete, I’ve used a lot of different athletic and weightlifting tapes over the years. After putting LYFTRX tape through a week of training, including cleans and pull-ups, I’m extremely impressed. The biggest difference for me is the combination of protection, flexibility, and grip. During cleans, the tape protected my thumbs while still allowing me to establish a comfortable, natural hook grip. It has enough stretch to conform around the thumb without feeling stiff or overly restrictive, and I never felt like the tape was interfering with my feel for the bar. I was equally impressed when transitioning to pull-ups. The tape stayed comfortable and secure and didn’t restrict the movement of my hands or fingers. That matters in Functional Fitness, where you may move from a barbell directly to a pull-up rig during the same workout. It also stays where you put it. I didn’t find myself stopping during training to fix loose or rolling tape, which has been a problem with other products I’ve used. The 1.5-inch width provides great coverage, it tears easily by hand, and the 12-roll box is especially convenient for someone who trains regularly. The included keychain and sticker are nice extras, but the quality of the tape itself is what earns the five stars. As both an athlete and coach, I look at equipment from two perspectives: Would I use it myself, and would I recommend it to my athletes? With LYFTRX, the answer to both is absolutely yes. ★★★★★ Five stars. LYFTRX has earned a permanent place in my gym bag.
