Thread 76745204

Straps are bad and should be illegal, punishable by law.
If you can't hold barbell or dumbbell in your hand, you shouldn't be lifting it. God/evolution didn't wanted you.
In real life when you are using muscles, you can't attach straps to your hands.

>>76745204 (OP)
How do straps even work? You tie some velcro around your wrists and now you can hold heavier weight? Yes I'm severely retarded

>>76745233
Hands want to slip one way around the bar, straps want to go the other.
>>76745204 (OP)
>In real life...
Do you suddenly exit reality when you step foot in a gym?
Anyway, using a hook grip is just as effective as straps.

Never had any back issues doing deadlift. Max 405. Try straps for 315. Hurt my back. Fuck em.

straps are just another tool. I dont max with them, but deadlift rep work is much better with straps. theyre especially helpful when my hands are more torn up than normal and i just want the skin to have a better chance to repair

>>76745204 (OP)
Strongman is more legit than powersharter 2inch rom cope, and they use straps. Therefore straps are fine.

>>76745242
>Anyway, using a hook grip is just as effective as straps.
Then stop straps.

>>76745330
If you can't lift without straps, you shouldn't be lifting.

>>76745333
>Strongman is more legit than powersharter 2inch rom cope
Yes.
>and they use straps
Strongman?
>Therefore straps are fine.
It's not fine, it's cheating and against your body and evolution.

Lmao

Stefi Cohen is stronger than you tho, anon.

wow you're so badass and cool

>>76745330
Lower the weight if your pathetic hands get shredded by holding a stationary bar, dyel.

>>76745330
SSRI's also are just another tool, doesn't mean it solves a problem.
Lower the weight then learn how to grip the bar correctly, you retarded DYEL.

>>76745425
Stefi who? Even if you are right, she is on steroids, I am not.

>>76746135
Always the same with cheaters, if they cheat one thing, no surprise they cheat all of them.

I use straps, fuck is lil timmy gon do

>>76746184
So this is the form of retards who claim that deadlifts ruin your back, lmao.

>>76745204 (OP)
>when training your back you should let your forearms limit the exercise
You are fully retarded. Bet you only 1x5 your deadlifts too because MUH CNS BRUH.

>>76746214
Why are your forearms small lil bro.

>>76746218
>gets completely mogged mentally
>UH UHHH you're DYEL
I thought so lil pup

>barbell
lol

>>76746252
I don't get mogged anywhere but inside your head, why are your forearms small lil bro?

>>76746258
>training for professional upstairs neighbour competition.

>>76746214
Yes.
There is no point to make your back stronger if you won't be able to use the back muscles because your grip is too weak.

>>76746346
And his grip will only get weaker, what a miserable existence.

>>76745233
>How do straps even work?
magnets

>>76746214
>when training your back you should let your forearms limit the exercise
Explain me, why do you want your back stronger, for example rows or deadlift, if you will never use those muscles because your grip is too weak in real life and your back muscles will be stronger than grip?

Maybe God and evolution made grip a bit weak for a reason, maybe we are not supposed to deadlift 400lb from the ground?

>>76746265
>he gets mogged inside my head
how will you ever recover

>>76745204 (OP)
I want to train my glutes and hamstrings which have more than 10x the muscle mass of all my forearm muscles combined. Of course, they're way stronger than grip will ever be so to train them to failure without having my grip failure, I'm going to use straps.
>in real life
In real life I'll have someone use a forklift to pick something up heavy enough.

>>76746184
Why the fuck do people keep telling others to arch their back like that? Are they just trying to get them injured?

>>76746258
Even out the hand placement. Barbell is longer on your right than left.

>>76745204 (OP)
>Straps are bad and should be illegal, punishable by law.
The deadlifting record will drop to 300kg real quick.

>>76746555
Why do you want to keep training your glutes and hamstrings in a way that is impossible to use anywhere? What is the point?
You will not use the muscles anywhere because your grip is too weak to hold something such heavy.
God and evolution didn't want humans to lift so much.

>>76746567
>The deadlifting record will drop to 300kg real quick.
Great. Record with straps doesn't count, because you cheat.
God and evolution didn't want humans to lift so much.

>>76745424
>posts guy who wore lifting gloves

>>76746184
genuinely kekked

If you can't hold the weight with your hands then you shouldn't be lifting it. This is what the God and bible says. If God wanted you to 600lb deadlift he would give stronger fingers and grip.
Powershitting is against human nature and design. It's a death cult. Will land you in a wheelchair.

>>76746431
>>76746346
You fucking brainlets are so funny. You realize you can train your grip strength SEPERATELY from your back right? In "real life" (whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean, like the gym isn't real life you chronically online retards) you are not picking the weight up and setting down 20-30 times.

>>76746859
>You realize you can train your grip strength SEPERATELY from your back right?
You shouldn't. No reasons to have back stronger than grip, you will never use your back muscles because grip won't allow it.

You are all posers who want big muscles to show off to gays, but you don't care about strength and function.

>>76746859
>brainlet that has worse and weaker grip than "DYEL" calling anyone else a brainlet

>>76746597
going to the gym is generally fuckign retarded
no human being did that 100 years ago

>>76748164
Get a load of this stupid nigga, that statue likely has better grip strength than him.

>>76748168
yeah, greek faggots did that
good point
must be the sign of a collapsing civilzation

>>76748171
The sign of collapsing civilization is using straps.

>straps
>belt
>mixed grip
>hook grip
>chalk
>knee sleeves
>shoes
>being over 20% bf
>good technique
>lifting in the morning
>lifting on a satiated stomach
You didn't lift the weight.

>>76748184
What's wrong with chalk? Some people have overactive sweat glands in the hands and bars aren't designed to cope with that.

>>76745204 (OP)
>In real life when you are using muscles, you can't attach straps to your hands.
Why?

>>76748247
ask god bro

>>76748164
I don't go to gym, I train at home.

>>76748192
You can't use chalk in the wild, in the forest.

>>76748247
If you are lifting a furniture or fighting a guy, how do you attach straps?

>>76745204 (OP)
If im training legs id rather train forearms, but squats definitely have better core gains.

>>76748408
>You can't use chalk in the wild, in the forest.
Yes I can, retard.

>>76746258
What's the point of the axle handle if you're gonna use straps anyways

>>76745204 (OP)
If your forearms can keep up with your deadlift then your deadlift is weak
Train harder, faggot

>>76748449
Wrong.
Your deadlift is balanced. Back is as strong as hands.
If your back is stronger than hands then you cannot use that strength for anything, you can only display muscles in the mirror and masturbate to the view.

Also, if you trained single leg deadlift, there would be no problem in grip limiting you so much.

>>76746270
Kek'd

>use straps so that grip strength doesn't interfere with back training
>do grip and forearm training at the end of the workout

Done

>>76748666
Wrong. You should train back and grip together, saves time. And you don't need back stronger than grip, as you won't be able to use the back.

>>76745204 (OP)
Are you a poweshitter? No? Then why do you care about forearm strength. Idc, I don't want bigger forearms, they're fine as is, so I'm using straps even with 15kg dumbbells when I'm warming up.
And if I cared about forearms being stronger and bigger, I'd train them separately instead of hitting them basically unrelated bs like deads. What you're suggesting is like training your biceps by doing lat pulls.

>>76748782
>Are you a poweshitter? No? Then why do you care about forearm strength
I care about real and functional strength. What you can do with the muscles.
> I don't want bigger forearms, they're fine as is, so I'm using straps even with 15kg dumbbells when I'm warming up.
They aren't fine if you can't hold dumbbell or barbell with your hands.
>And if I cared about forearms being stronger and bigger, I'd train them separately instead of hitting them basically unrelated bs like deads. >What you're suggesting is like training your biceps by doing lat pulls.
You are wrong, compounds are superior and they save your time. Also more functional.

I would let Mommy Stefi fuck me with a strap and then pee on me when she's done

You have grip or you not and you're a faggot with a straps-on.

>>76749091
>I care about real and functional strength. What you can do with the muscles.
>They aren't fine if you can't hold dumbbell or barbell with your hands.
Nebulous words. I'm a tradie, I do flooring and tiling, I have to carry plenty of heavy and weirdly shaped things at work. Not once have I thought to myself, oh wow, I wish I had bigger forearms.
Whenever I hear "real and functional strength", it usually comes from people who've imagined some ridiculous niche situations where they would need this "real and functional strength", like "I'm stuck in a heavy bear trap and have to open it with bare hands without any tools" or some shit, but in reality they've never even needed the strength they currently possess, let alone anything greater than that.

This is true, but if you only care about real situations then you shouldn't train at all, muscles are useless in current world.

>>76745204 (OP)
Imagine tearing your bicep doing deadlifts in the gym where nobody gives a fuck

>>76745333
The funniest thing is that straps aren't even allowed in equipped powerlifting where sumo and unlimited ply suits are allowed. You have guys who are benching 1000+lbs in their ridiculous lifting shirts but can barely get a 600lb sumo pull off the floor and consider straps cheating.

>>76746184
prob fuck your crush with his BWC

>>76748435
axles have no whip or bend so it's harder off the floor

>>76751435
Bruh, no, I work out because I like a certain aesthetic. And it helps me a bit at my work, not really the lifting part, but things like knowing how to brace properly and whatnot.
But idc about imaginary situations like that, I get enough of those at work when I deal with some retarded trend chaser who bought huge tiles or slabs, although I have to carry those with someone else anyway, and it's because breaking one would cost us a fuckton.

Pretty much all deadlifters are egolifters anyway, who think theycan impress and intimidate the rest of the gym with their grunting and slamming. Would make sense for such people to cheat by using straps.

>>76745233
It's just a strip of cloth as long as you're not confusing it with hooks. E.g. I started using them because my sweaty hands would spaghetti when DLing and my gym won't let you use chalk. At heavier weights my bottleneck when DLing wasn't my grip either but my bone, I'd have to stop because the bb pressing on my finger bone would hurt. Now that I use straps I can actually use my muscles (and my grip has improved)

Straps = cheating
steroids = cheating
straps = steroids. equality

>At heavier weights my bottleneck when DLing wasn't my grip either but my bone, I'd have to stop because the bb pressing on my finger bone would hurt.
God telling you that you shouldn't lift such barbell.
