Lifting Straps: When to Use Them and When Not To

Straps are tools, not cheats
Use ’em when grip’s the limiter.

Heavy pulls? Straps make sense no point missing reps over grip.

Every set with straps is lazy work grip still needs love.

Top sets = straps, warm-ups = raw
Best of both worlds.

Back day, not forearm day? Strap up target muscle comes first.

Deadlift comps = no straps
train how you compete.

If grip fails before back, straps earn their spot
simple math.

Straps save elbows too less death-gripping the bar.
