Thumb Adhesive Weightlifting Tape | Protects Thumbs When Lifting Weights & Prevents Knurling | Stretchy Adhesive Athletic Hook Grip Tape for Weightlifters

I know there are a lot of tape companies out there. A LOT. I get that. I have even used a few of them. However, when you find something you like keep it, buy it in bulk, and tell all of your friends! I have been using Liftgenie for over a year now. A friend used it and let me use some when my thumb was hurting during hook grip. Right after we finished lifting I went online and bought 3 rolls. I like this tape because it stays well and keeps the bar from slipping as I don't usually use chalk. I started to love this tape when the company proved over and over that it was really easy to work with and super friendly. The tape doesn't leave sticky stuff after you remove it. It works and feels great. Never too tight, never too loose. I suggest you buy it because you won't regret it.

I am a competitive weightlifter at a relatively high level. I have used several different tapes in the past, and Lift Genie is hands down the best. It is wider than other tapes, the flexibility is much better than standard tape, and the adhesive is great. Lift Genie tape is the official tape of USA Weightlifting.If you are a weightlifter, crossfitter, or powerlifter who hookgrips deadlifts, this tape is a must. The tape protects your thumbs and reduces sensitivity to hookgripping. Like me, once you use it, you will never lift without it again. Highly recommended.Pro Tip: Combine the super sticky adhesive of Lift Genie with a taping base like tough skin, and this tape goes no where! One application lasts the entirety of 3+hr training sessions over dozens of sets and reps. Lift Genie, how about coming out with your own taping base!?

Liftgenie is by far my favorite thumb tape! You do not need a lot of layers for comfort and the width is perfect to cover the entire thumb. I live in Louisiana where it is very humid, so past tapes that I've tried slid off and I would have to replace mid-training. Liftgenie will stay in place for my 2-hour sessions. My thumbs no longer feel bruised so my clean and snatch pulls have greatly improved.I've even used Liftgenie to tape my pull-up bar for CrossFit wods because I refuse to use grips. :)*Bonus: So many awesome colors to choose from. I can't wait to try purple!

Edit: After using the rest of the tape in my first pack, I have found a way to make the tape work for me. I like this tape enough that I bought it a second time instead of searching more brands for more tape. Worth it in my opinion.Previous: I bought this tape becuase they marketed it well. It is the 3rd brand of tape I have tried and it is by far the worst performing that I have used. I have tried numerous ways to try to keep it from slipping/bunching up, but this tape always slowly slips down my thumb as I lift. This tape may work well if you dont sweat or dont lift heavy but with what I do I am not happy with it. The one thing I liked was that this tape came with a decent amount of it, now it's unfortunate because I want to use it before I order more as I'm budget conscious. I will be looking elsewhere on my next tape purchase.

I have used all kinds of tapes for my thumb for olympic weightlifting and deadlifts. I have bought them from Dollar store to unbranded tapes from here. They all gave me pain in the thumb during the hookgrip or the tape didn't stay in the place.. Then I saw couple of my favorite Crossfit and USA Weightlifitng athletes using it. Initially I was skeptical and the price for one roll of tape held me back. I decided to go for it and bought one roll to try first. It impressed me from the beginning. Love the cute genie on the tape. I was able to tape my thumb and tear it off easily with no effort. In some of my previous rolls, I had to apply lot of pressure to tear the tape. It stayed in place during my whole exercise routine. So far its been over a month, gone through 3/4th of the roll, it's more comfortable and I don't feel the pain in my thumb while doing a hookgrip during the snatches or cleans & jerks. I am really happy with my purchase and today I ordered more. It's much, much better than my previous purchases of unbranded tapes.

Where has this tape been? I have been having issues with my hands getting messed up during weightlifting and I am so glad that i came across this product. Easy to tear, easy to apply and holds during an entire, sweaty workout. I haven't even made a dent in my first package even after using it three times or more a week. I will be buying again.

Reeeeally wanted to like this tape. Especially because it’s PINK!! But unfortunately tape did nothing for me. I do compete in oly lifting and have training sessions that last about 1-1 1/2 hours. Between the constant hook gripping and having EXTREMELY sweaty hands, I need something that will last (so sweaty that I have to vigorously chalk up every time I touch the bar) But I was finding myself having to stop during training to re-tape. In one particularly long day I had to re-tape 3X and almost injured myself during a heavy clean when the tape slipped off my thumb while I was hook gripping the bar (super scary). Thumbs Up tape is waaaay more sticky and doesn’t roll up or bunch up.

They look really cool and I love the color options, which other vendors sadly do not offer. The tape does shift around and bunch up during my WODs but my hands do get pretty sweaty so could just be me and not necessarily the adhesive/fabric. I will probably try other brands after I'm done with these to compare.
