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. When I’m using the hook grip for deadlifts, snatches, or cleans, I like to make sure the skin on my thumbs doesn’t tear. Replace your thumb tape when it shows signs of wear and tear or loss of elasticity, which can affect its effectiveness.Lifting on a sharp bar requires that a thumb tape is to be used to protect the skin not just as essential for a Fitness workout but to protect your hand. 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.

The width was perfect for me, but if you have small hands or short thumbs, you may choose to split the tape in half lengthwise before you wrap your thumbs. It provides an excellent grip on the bar without sticking to it and doesn’t unroll from the friction of the bar.It’s not quite as durable as Average Broz, but it’s stretchy, comfortable, and provides an excellent amount of coverage. Additional adhesive is also supplied with the tape handguards for those extra-sweaty or muddy workouts. BEND YOUR FINGERS – Stiff, old athletic tape constricts the blood flow and range of motion of your fingers. Be careful not to press so tight that the tape cuts off your blood flow or makes it difficult to move your thumb. 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.
