PROFESSIONAL STRONGMAN

As a professional strongman and elite-level powerlifter I put an incredible amount of stress on my training equipment. I have been an avid user of APT wrist straps and wraps for several years now. They are hands-down the best straps and wraps on the planet. NEVER have I had a pair of APT straps break on me. I have pulled numerous 800+ deadlifts, silver dollar deadlifts, car deadlifts, etc. for reps and my straps performed flawlessly.   I won the Gus Lohman Memorial Strongman Challenge with a 900lb 18" deadlift, and won again at Kansas Strongest Man with an 850lb 18" deadlift using a squat bar with no bend. The following weekend I deadlifted a Chevy Monte Carlo at the World Strongman Challenge for 14 reps using the same straps with no problems whatsoever.

I have also used APT ZRV-Pro wrist and knee wraps exclusively at all my powerlifting competitions and use the wrist wraps every time I do a log or other overhead event in strongman. I have used my current wraps several times per week for over two years and they have held their elasticity better than any other wrap I've ever used.

Thanks Alan for providing such high-quality products that top-level athletes can rely on.
