<p>CUFF AND STRAP DEVICE FOR LIFTING WEIGHTS This invention relates to wrist-support apparatus and to weightlifting accessories, and in particular discloses a cuff and lifting strap device for a weightlifter's wrist and hand. The lifting strap extends from a padded wrist cuff down around the weight bar to be lifted. The lifting strap terminates in fold around a rubber plug that tucks behind the bar in the palm of the hand. When the user grasps the strap and the bar to lift it, the plug is wedged above the bar and prevents the strap from slipping off the bar. The device is useful in preventing tissue injury to the hand and to the wrist. The device is safe in that the plug at the end of the lifting strap to the cuff allows the strap to be immediately released upon the hand being opened and the weight bar dropped in the event of an unmanageable weight being lifted.</p> |
