lifting straps
Wrist-wrapped assistance
Lifting straps are fabric or leather loops that wrap around the wrist and barbell to reinforce grip during heavy weightlifting.
They allow lifters to hold more weight than their grip strength alone would permit: I use lifting straps for deadlifts so my forearms don't give out before my back does.
Common in bodybuilding and powerlifting when grip becomes the limiting factor.
