I have a home gym, and sometimes lift beyond my grip strength. These lifting straps are one way to progress beyond that grip strength limit. There are a few ways to create them, and none look nice, at a glance.

Mine least of all. 

Question is, have any of you made such? Even better, did you find something that doesn't look like steamed manure after a bit of use? These are admittedly minimal effort, but if there is a way to make them better, I would probably try.

Stretching, iron filings and caustic persperation are all challenges this will face...

Mine were thicker nylon straps. They had a loop sewn into one end that resembled maybe a dog leash handle. You made a noose thru the handle, wrapping it around your wrist and trailing down across the palm of your hand. Then the loose end wrapped around the bar and you held it in your hand. [Edit: maybe the end came back up through the loop]

Maybe an inch wide?
