Product Information

Brilliant for the younger gymnasts that require better feeling and grip of the bar that you can’t get from using traditional handguards.

People who are new to using the hook grip should also spend a few weeks getting used to it first before introducing tape to their training regimen. This will ensure that the tape doesn’t go past the tip of your thumb, and you won’t have to try to fold over the excess material to secure it. There’s no reason why you can’t use lifting tape every time you lift, but it’s not necessary for lifts that you don’t use the hook grip for.I tried the wod nation cohesive bandage style and I like how flexible it is, but it moves and leaves a ton of residue. Anyone who has taped with this method can tell you, a few pull-ups is all it takes to turn this shoddy tape job into a rolled up bundle of tape, chalk, and skin. Goat Tape is also difficult to remove at the end of your workout and leaves some sticky residue on your thumbs. Wikipedia defines CrossFit as a strength and conditioning brand that combines weightlifting, sprinting, gymnastics, powerlifting, kettlebell training, plyometrics, rowing, and medicine ball training.

ROCKTAPE’s unique unidirectional stretch pattern won’t reduce your range of motion but it will give you more game. If you have a known allergy to ZINC OXIDE, then you should opt for a different tape as THUMB TAPE uses a ZINC OXIDE glue. MULTI-SPORT VERSATILITY - If you're into gymnastics, rock climbing or lifting weights (from barbells to bodyweight exercises like pull ups), this is the tape for you. It’s used by powerlifters, weightlifters, and CrossFitters to improve their grip and protect their thumbs when lifting heavy. Even though it will likely cover your thumb knuckle, the stretch in this tape means you won’t lose any mobility.The most common “technique” I see employed is simply taking a length of athletic tape and wrapping it around the palm several times. GAURANTEED DURABILITY – With a blend of premium materials and adhesives, Mammal Strength thumb tape has been made to last those long and enduring workouts. However, LYFT-RX’s uniquely flexible cotton and spandex material allows you to move your fingers naturally, improving your feel for the bar or barbell.

Wrapping your thumbs properly is the key to making sure they’re protected and you can still lift efficiently. But if you use lifting tape that’s made from a flexible material, this usually isn’t an issue unless you wrap it too tight. I used this tape for a strength session with multiple sets of deadlifts followed by a CrossFit WOD with lots of power cleans, and it stayed on the entire time. This is because CrossFit involves a lot of weightlifting, gymnastics, and other functional movements that require firm use of your thumbs. The tape is also residue free, so once you're done training, whip it off and you're ready for your next challenge.Thumb tape is a thin, stretchy, adhesive tape that you wrap around your thumb to provide support and protection.
