This...
Lifting straps give you a false sense of strength and also your "grip" won't develop like it naturally should
You see the guys who lift 500 dead lifts with straps and are struggling? Without those they can probably barely hit 315 there's a reason you have hands.
Develop them correctly and skip out on those stupid straps.
/e
If your grip is seriously lacking then I suggest doing pull ups.


To that just use straps for everything everytime = grip strength redundant not like some girl is gna be like "omg sir u grab my cooch so tight that's hot!"

Grip strength? Have you played any sport ever or are you just trolling currently?
Lot of "functional athleticism" requires a good grip and I'm not just talking about someone who plays sports. It correlates to a lot of stuff, moving a friend when he needs help. Tightening things, posting things up, rock climbing, Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, list goes on.
You shouldn't be using lifting straps period. Also you can't grab a "cooch" only can touch it, it's not a cock.

i play lifting.

I can use straps for helping a friend lift, i can use a wrench for tightnening things, idk what posting things up is, and I'll use a helicopter instead of climbing up a rock like a peasant.

Grip strength = redundant?

Remember that next time you get in a fight or need to hold onto something. Or when your girl/guy asks you to open the pickle jar and your ass can't. :lol:
