Hey guys,

I'm looking to buy wrist straps like the ones pictured in this article

Will Wrist Straps Increase Your Muscle Gains? (just using this picture as an example)

I can't seem to find any, suggestions??

What are you rowing?

+1 For UGE. Nick is a top bloke.

But as christian asked, what are you rowing? If your not rowing at least 100kg, or deadlifting 4 plates you should work on your grip strength. Dont put a band-aid on a broken leg.

i dont think you should be quick to dismiss the use of straps.

if your grip is good, there is no reason not to use them so that you can get more out of the exercise.

not using them could be worse for your training.

But if your grip is that good it shouldn't be limiting you? I only time I see a use is if your doing a shit load of volume.

Rowing 180kgs limits my grip lol

Thats a shit load to rowing, in that case I think exceptions can be made. I only had a normal lifter in mind wanting them for their 120kg deadlifts.

 

[Skalatharx]

Yeah I agree, they should not be used as a crutch. Il put them on around 160 and up for rows, and only use them for heavy axle deadlifts. Normal deads don't need them.

But a person like you doesn't come on forums asking about straps.

Your the minority of people we try to help here

Using straps for rack pulls and shrugs, racked pulled 190kg 2 weeks ago but couldn't lift 200kg last thurs, hence the straps
