The grasping and lifting aid, according to the present invention, comprises a flexible strap having a first and second end portion. Doubling back and fixedly securing the first end portion to a remainder of the flexible strap, a first loop is formed. The first loop has an opening commensurate with a width of the flexible strap, so that the second end portion can freely pass through. Thus, a second loop adaptable for attaching about a user's wrist is formed. The flexible strap includes a wrist securing portion formed by the second loop, followed by a palm grasping portion having a length adaptable to be spirally wrapped around a weight bar or the like by using several coils in close proximity to each other, without overlapping. The flexible strap also has non- slip proprieties on a side adaptable for confronting a palm, fingers and thumb of a user. A material for providing non-slip proprieties is used. Thus, hand-gripping capacity is enhanced and the user is protected from getting painful skin damage on the hand. No material for providing non-slip proprieties is used for the other side of the flexible strap, which is opposite to the side of the flexible strap that confronts the palm, fingers and thumb. Thus, when a user is overwhelmed by a load and forced to drop it, the other side of the flexible strip, not provided with an non-slip material, will rapidly disengage from the weight bar and, thereby, provide security for the user.
