You dont need them. Stop using them and your grip will get stronger. You will have to drop weight at first but eventually your grip will be the strongest part of your lifts.

thats lifting straps, which i agree , dont use em. i think hes talking about wrist support, in which case, OP, inzer everytime.

ATP, and Inzer is what I use as wrist wraps.

As far as straps are concerned, they are essential! Every world record breaking powerlifter (Bolton, Felix, KK, Magnusson, Savickas the 4 heaviest deadlifters in the world) all use them in training. The reason being is the muscles in the hands/forearms are taxed much faster than the other muscles used to pull the deadlift. NOthing better to overload than using straps.

You don't want to limit your deadlift potential because of your limited grip strength.

bullshit, they only cheat your grip and not every organisation allows them, sorry mate but this is just plain bad advice

I doesn't cheat your grip. And if you read my post I said these guys TRAIN with straps. There are no powerlifting feds that allow straps. I also train with straps and have pulled close to eight hundred...without straps. I've also taken 360lb farmer's walk for 50ft with no drops. Grip isn't an issue.

Got to agree with this.^

I don't like an under/over grip, so with on heavy sets I have no choice. Might not be the case for Dec.....I guess he doesn't pull much weight

we werent allowed em under BAWLA ruling, and even if we were my coach said 'not in his gym' lol. hehe smarty, pulled 270kg pb @ 90kg when i was still competing, was an accomplishment to me anyhow! and ive developed a grip like steel

I don't see the problem with using straps if you don't have grip issues, especially if you are pulling for reps. i am only a mid 600 deadlifter (or was a year ago) and if i was pulling reps i would consider it. I use straps doing heavy stiff legs and heavy rack pulls. I don't use them on standard deadlifts because i don't want them to alter my form. Also, most guys who pull hook grip use straps a considerable amount during training. I have trained with a good amount of strongmen and they seem to all use them from time to time and they have incredible grips. Everyone wants to make every issue black and white when it is not.

pray do tell, what are they for then?

ive never used straps and my grip has never gone on a deadlift, ever. i'll just not be able for the lift but my grip will hold out when everything else fails

AAS doesn't make a difference. While I see your point, it makes no sense. How do you know straps wouldn't have made a difference, you never used them. You can't use the experience of your buddy as the end all/be all. Again, the question remains, the best deadlifters and oly lifters IN THE WORLD train with straps...are you seriously saying that if they didn't they would be stronger? Andy Bolton (the world's greatest deadlifter), would deadlift even more than his 1000lb deadlift if he trained without straps? You can't honestly believe that do you? C'mon brotha...

cos you are mentioning lifters who are obv juiced up to the hilt. look, theres two camps, no straps and straps, im in one and you are in the other. i know alot of top regional, european and a few world class guys who dont use them

if its not moving off the ground its not moving, no straps are gona make it move. advising someone to start off using straps isnt good advice, if top guys experiment to make beta gains its bcos they are at the peak of their game

I never mentioned that someone should start off pulling with straps. Where did you get that notion from. Also what does juicing have to do with it? I can name probably 20-25 Elite fitness sponsored athletes that are natural that are good deadlifters 700+ who train with straps. You are missing the point entirely. Doing singles can only get you so strong. You have to do reps at some point and the fact remains, your grip will fail you before your body does. Thus your body gets only as strong as your grip.

Tell you what, check out the Elite fitness group from Orlando florida. Most of those guys are natty, all pull with straps in training. Again, do some research, no matter how you argue, you're wrong. And those two camps of with straps and without, is usually designated to bodybuilders versus powerlifters. Please name some world class lifters who train exclusively without straps. I'd like to see their routines.

yeah, at what weight class?

you keep maintaining that my grip will fail before my body, well i kinda own my body and can safely say that my hams and spinal erectors give up b4 my grip does. maybe diff for you super heavy weight guys? i spoke of aas in relative terms, theres very little natural guys in europe (infact at european stage, theres a 99.9% chance they are all on and im talking of a drug tested federation)) between 75kg-90kg class pulling 320kgs. i dont know much about america tbh.

like i said, im not going to wind up in an arguement, ive spoken of my personal exp and thats all.
