A slap wrap style grip augmentation strap is provided in which the extended securing strap is lined with a bistable ribbon formed of metal or similarly functioning material. The lined strap extends from a wrist loop and provide a self-wrapping ability which allows the user to get a tighter and more uniform grip that was previously much harder or near impossible to obtain with other lifting straps. Gripping efficiency is improved with quickly applied, strong and equal equally applied attachment to a targeted piece of exercise equipment. The use of a strap of the present invention will encourage proper body mechanics during lifting exercises that would help prevent these potential dangers. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
