Based. Stops your grip from being the limiting factor to getting gains

excellent accessory for deadlift volume work.

>>76305574
>deadlift volume work
for what purpose

>>76305586
To ACK your back as fast as possible

>>76305586
deadlifting babyweights to stay dyel

>>76305552 (OP)
I could never get them to work right, I lift way more with chalk anyways

>>76305618
You ever tried not being a brainlet?

>>76305627
Have you tried fried ice cream? Its pretty good

I can’t work out without it for pulling exercises, otherwise my hands slip off the bar after about four reps (especially pull-ups). How do other people manage? Don’t their palms sweat too?

>>76305648
Im not a powershitter so I dont eat fried goyslop

>>76305654
Normal pull ups, its pretty unnecessary to need straps or chalk. Weighted, I use chalk so that I can force a few more reps

>>76305678
Tastes like cheese cake

>>76305552 (OP)
they trigger my autism so I don't use them

>>76305552 (OP)
The muscle that's limiting my lift is the one that I need to train the most. Straps prevent me from doing that.

>>76305719
your grip won't keep up with your other muscles no matter what

>>76305552 (OP)
i use them because fuck hook grip and mixed grip gave me stretch marks

>>76305552 (OP)
I just started using them a few weeks ago and I love em. I used to think that if my grip strength wasn't good enough it was my own problem, but as others have said, grip strength is simply going to be a limiting factor when progressively overloading larger muscles effectively. I also have really sweaty hands so it helps a bunch with that. I even use them for weighted dips just so I can get some extra padding so my hands dont hurt so much. S tier gym accessory.

>>76305723
In that case I've reached my limit for that kind of lift.

>>76305966
There's something to this. I've always considered powerlifters to be slightly mentally ill.

>>76305552 (OP)
Use them when your grip stops from you from adding weight to the bar. Hook grip is shit. Reverse grip is a recipe for bicep separation, or elbow or shoulder strain. Double overhand only. Strap up if you can't complete the set without the bar slipping./thread

>>76305972
lol why

>>76305995
Mainly the squat. They would all literally put infinity pounds on their back then squat down and go back up again if they could. For what purpose?

>>76305966
>limiting himself on purpose
I lift to reach infinity

>>76305552 (OP)
I need them cause I have some sort of nerve issue that causes trigger finger and my grip is so weak I accidentally drop everyday items all the time much less weights.

>>76305552 (OP)
I just use my boxing wraps and tie one of them around the bar and since my left hand is the weaker i wrap it around my thumb once and on the second turn i push my thumb inside the thumb knot thing

>>76306104
What is a ring avulsion?

>>76306013
because they can

>>76306193
I dont wrap it tightly retard it's just one turn around my hand then i slide my thumb inside the circle thing to lock everything in

>>76306215
Whatever you say buddy.

>>76305966
what a meaningless restriction

>>76306013
How is that different than any other lift

>>76305574

Define what is considered """volume" when deadlifting

They're a cope. An ego stroker if you will. You "can" lift more weight because you're attaching larger muscle groups to the bar instead of relying on your grip. Sorta like how you can move faster by riding a scooter or something. But in a real situation, if you don't have a scooter, you can't run as fast as the scooter would take you. If you don't have straps, you can't lift as much as the straps would let you.
Common No-grip-copes:
>well i don't care about "real world strength"
okay... so if you need to open a pickle jar you can look like that one fat grifter manosphere podcast retard. if you need to move furniture you can look like a pussy while it keeps falling out of your grip. or if you need to pick up a car that's crushing your child you can let your kid die. the real world doesn't matter, right? bad things can never happen, right? and sorry man... you're not gonna be carrying your straps with you everywhere. even if you did, they wouldn't conveniently fit onto real world objects.
>well i don't want my muscle or strength development limited to my grip strength
people can deadlift 700lb double overhand no straps, no hook grip. unless you're approaching that, you wouldn't be limited by grip strength. furthermore, is the hand not part of the body just because you or jeff nippard say so?
>um umm um but you can train grip separately
yeah you can train every body part separately and do infinite isolations. anyone who uses this cope always has a shit grip and you never see them actually doing separate grip work. you can do supplemental grip work on top of never using straps, but pretending like you can min max different body parts in a better way than holistically training your body is fucking stupid. you will never lift more than your grip allows because you're literally not lifting it if you're not gripping it.
>buh buh i actually have a significant development disability or injury that makes me not have fully functioning hands
look up grip training prosthetic

>people can deadlift 700lb double overhand no straps, no hook grip. unless you're approaching that, you wouldn't be limited by grip strength.
>you wouldn't be limited by grip strength
>but straps are also a cope because they let you lift more

>>76307335
where's the issue?

>>76307309
do some clean pulls, natural grip man, see how it works out for you

>>76305552 (OP)
people who are against them are normally dyel's, if you aren't using them you are literally retarded

They're essential. There's literally no reason whatsoever to have your grip limit your back strength etc. potential. Anyone who bitches about them is a faggot.

>>76305552 (OP)
As long as you're only using them on sets where grip will be a limiting factor, and you still do your lower weight sets and other exercises like rowing without, it's fine.
If you feel like your grip is failing even on the latter ones, squeeze in some grip work at the end of your session. I used to do plate flips with a10 or 15 kg plate, I believe it helped

>>76305966
Fucking retard

>>76305552 (OP)
If you use these you are no longer natty

>tfw hook grip has failed, only holding the bar by the fingertips but still do the last rep
Is there a better feeling?

i just use these without wraps

>>76309175
nah im good. that shit looks stupid.
>>76310909
why? how bout you post yours if you believe straps make you superior?

>>76305552 (OP)
They're OK, but since I got these off AliExpress I haven't used them. About $6 a pair.

>>76305552 (OP)
Causes ED and balding.

>>76305552 (OP)
Is it retarded to use it for bench press?

>>76311008
your loss, shits better than powercleans for explosiveness that carries over to everything

>>76305552 (OP)
Only good for deadlifts and shrugs, really pointless for pull-ups and rows

>>76307309
trvth nvke
the grip is the most important muscle group of the human body, and if you're not training it then you are legitimately retarded
see >>76305574
iirc this is a diagram showing the amount of neurons responsible for each body part, with more neurons = larger size and vice versa. our hands are how we interact with everything.
also see labourers who've never been in a gym in their life, the only muscle group that is exceptionally developed is their forearms, usually moreso than gym lifters. ain't no straps in the jungle, son.

>>76305552 (OP)
If it helps you grip a heavy bar, go for it! Don't listen to zoomerfaggots or uncle roy. They are on drugs any way and nobody takes a drugged out degenerate seriously.

>>76305552 (OP)
meme if you're a dyel, beginner or intermediate. useful if you've a lot of muscle but you need to target deficiencies.
Overall meme tier for the regular fag, just like lifting gloves

>>76305552 (OP)

Useful tool, when you wanna work with weights without grip being your limiting factor.

I'm kind of embarrassed but how the fuck do these things work? I bought them 6 years ago and tried them once but idk what I did wrong I just use chalk now

>>76312220
>pointless
an extra rep isn't pointless
