About Iron ankr
Built by lifters for lifters. We design gear that amplifies stimulus, manages fatigue, and keeps you lifting safely.
Safety First
Secure interface, stable mechanics, repeatable technique under load.
Performance
Engineered to unlock effective reps for your prime movers.
Durability
Materials and stitching choices optimized for heavy training cycles.
Simplicity
Minimal, purpose-built designs without distractions or gimmicks.
How We Build
Research
We analyze biomechanics and training outcomes to define load paths, grip interfaces, and failure modes.
Prototyping
Rapid iteration on materials, stitching, and ergonomics; we test for comfort, stability, and wear.
Field Testing
Feedback from lifters across rep ranges informs refinements for reliability and performance.
Materials & Craft
- Comfort-first strap widths with reinforced load-bearing seams.
- Friction-optimized weaves for a stable bar interface.
- Finish choices that balance grip, feel, and longevity.
- Quality control on stitch density and wear points.
Training Philosophy
- Prioritize proximity to failure in target musculature when the goal is hypertrophy.
- Manage fatigue by separating grip development from back-day overload when appropriate.
- Value technique consistency and safe joint stacking across intensities.
