If you don’t want to use lifting tape every time you lift, you can try leaving it off for your warmup sets and only using it for your heavier working sets. Using lifting tape reduces the amount of friction between the barbell and the skin on your thumbs when you use the hook grip.

It’s similar to the Average Broz White Magic tape in that it’s manufactured with proprietary horizontal and vertical threading to enhance its strength. The Warm Body Cold Mind lifting tape is the best overall lifting tape due to its thick material, durability, flexibility, and strong adhesive. Perfect for Olympic weightlifting, cross training, strongman, powerlifting and any gym fitness activity. Measuring in at 38mm wide, it's the ideal length to wrap thumbs up in one loop, tear to break off and lift.I tried the wod nation cohesive bandage style and I like how flexible it is, but it moves and leaves a ton of residue. It’s used by powerlifters, weightlifters, and CrossFitters to improve their grip and protect their thumbs when lifting heavy.
