Hey, I use straps when doing deads in excess of 400lbs... my body is stronger than my grip at that point for the number of reps I do, however that is the only time I use straps and I hate it when you see guys using straps with light weight...i know i should just increase my grip strength

I think straps can be justified, but I hate gloves and that stupid pussy pad that people put on the squat bar and the overuse of belts...I think the next time I see a guy with gloves on in the gym I will ask him if he is a hand model

Default Yeah thanks

I'll definetly get some soon. I just wanted to use them for dead lifts and some back lat pull downs and maybe for traps. I havent really used straps in awhile but I know they helped.
Thanks

Oh man, don't even get me started...

Yesterday, I saw this guy with those fingerless gloves on walking as if he was carrying 5 gallon buckets under his arms. You know, like some kind of badass gunfighter. He got into the squat rack next to me, loaded up two plates and started squatting... sort of. He was doing those 1/4 squats, I can't even describe them, but we've all seen it, you know what I mean. I was trying not to laugh, not because of his weight, not even because of his form. But because he walked in like Billy Badass and turned out to be Ginger. That's what a friend of mine calls a pussy. Ginger.

what I think is the funnies, however, are the guys who wear lifting straps to bench press. Toolbags....
