Do you work your forearms? I work on grip strength.. Just hold a plate for as long as you can (example 10kg plate)
Next set hold 2 x 5Kg plates. Note its the same weight but a wider grip required to work a different aspect of your grip.
I done this and my grip strength improved a lot. Ive never used straps.
