I hear this debate all the time. For years, I avoided them while powerlifting because I feared a weak grip on the platform.
But then I switched up my mindset.
Every serious lifter and bodybuilder knows the truth: Your back and legs are significantly stronger than your grip.
If your grip gives out on RDLs, deadlifts, or heavy rows before your lats, rhomboids, or hamstrings are fully fatigued, you’re missing out on serious gains.
Since introducing straps into my accessory work, my deadlift has gone up 20 kilos and my back development has exploded.
Straps aren’t a cheat code—they’re a tool that allows your bigger, stronger muscles to work to failure, leading to faster progress and more muscle. Stop limiting your gains! 🚫
