Frequently Asked Questions
Simply put, yes, it can be dangerous to not wear a belt during heavy lifts. Even if you think you have perfect form, an increasingly heavy weight load will make it a lot easier to lose it. Wearing a weightlifting belt helps stabilise your torso and reduce any injuries that can otherwise happen from poor form. As you have consistently good form, you will also notice that you can lift more than before.
Both wrist straps and wrist wraps are both great tools when it comes to training. The difference is that wrist straps increase your gripping ability, whereas wrist wraps stabilise and make your wrist neutral underneath the load. However, if used often, you can develop an over-reliance on them but this will only matter if you’re performing in competitions.
A dip belt is a great tool designed to hang weight plates, dumbbells, or kettlebells on to increase your resistance levels during calisthenic exercises such as pull-ups. They are very versatile as they can be used to train multiple exercises including the back, chest, and legs. You’ll also get more out of your exercises as the added weight will help increase your overall strength and gains.
From pull-up & weightlifting belts to straps to wrist wraps, our range is designed with high-quality & long-lasting materials that feel comfortable when performing even the most intense workouts.

Weightlifting Accessories
Exersci® Weightlifting Belt
Wearing a weightlifting belt can be crucial when you’re performing deadlifts, back & front squats, bench presses or any other weightlifting exercise as it reduces the stress applied on the lower back and prevents hyperextension in your back during overhead lifts.
Our weightlifting belts are designed to enhance your performance, whether you’re weight lifting, bodybuilding or even cross-fit training. Offering you much-needed back support, you’ll benefit from consistent encouragement of proper form and comfort designed to reduce the strain on your back muscles.
Made from genuine suede and cowhide leather with padded lumbar support, it will work with you instead of against you during your workout.
The belt comes with 10 different size settings that fit securely around your waist, so whatever size you’re at on your weightlifting journey, you’ll be able to take full advantage.
Exersci® Weightlifting Straps
Weightlifting straps are used to strap your wrist and the barbell together when lifting heavy weights, most often used by weightlifters and powerlifters. They are designed to protect your wrists, reduce grip fatigue, push your limits during strength training and reach your true muscle fatigue.
They are a great accessory for any type of pulling exercises targeting your back and arm muscle group, whether performing squats, deadlifts or bench presses.
Our regular and premium weightlifting straps are made with polyester and cotton material that give you full control and resistance against tears and fissures that can occur in low-quality straps. The straps are weatherproof and anti-slip making both sides easy to grip even during the most intense workouts. They are built with neoprene padding making them soft & comfortable to wear and in turn, making your lifts more efficient.
Exersci® Wrist Wraps
Wrist wraps are used to keep your wrists secure and neutral during heavy pressing exercises when otherwise, they can overextend flexing back or forward. Designed to prevent injuries to your wrist and anywhere else, bench and overhead presses become increasingly safer as the load needs to be on a neutral wrist.
Our wrist wraps are easy to use and allow you to safely stabilise the wrist joint, mitigating any risk of a wrist injury. As your wrist is more stable, weights will feel lighter when pushing and pulling, allowing you to exceed your limits and set a new personal best.
