Lifting Straps

Beginners should not use straps. As you learn to lift, and gain strength, your grip will strength will naturally improve. However, there will there come a time when the smaller, weaker muscles of the hands and forearms can’t keep up with the big lifting muscles in the legs, back and shoulders. This is when you need straps.

Straps are best for lifts like deadlifts and rows, but can also be used for weighted chin-ups and pull-ups.

Here’s some examples of good use of straps:

1. Overloading the muscles on the last set or two of weighted pull-ups
2. For high volume hanging leg raises
3. For dumbbell shrugs
4. For breaking through a deadlift or row plateau.
