Cause a true legit test of strength is being able to hold on to the bar with your own grip. You don't think it'sess of a pull compared to someone that can do it without straps? You explain that to me bubba.


Your grip strength has zero to do with your ability to drive through your heels and pull that bar up. I understand wanting strong hands (I do grip work too) but why limit my back and legs development if I don't have to. Your opinion isn't right or wrong, I just disagree.

That's impressive weight but I wouldn't tell anyone you use straps. All I'm saying


So I should lie??

I'm not saying to lie but a disclaimer is necessary if you're going to start to compare. I'm not saying you're wrong either. I'm all for improved health & longevity with whatever method you find fit. For me I'm fueled by competition so that is where my mindset comes from. You see enough baws DL heavy weight for reps without straps shoes me I don't need them. And I think grip straight is important
