๐ STRAPS FOR DUMBBELLS? ๐
Can deadlift straps be used with dumbbells? Yes, and much more as well.
Despite the name, "Deadlift" straps can be used with dumbbells too, especially when your grip starts giving up before the muscles you're actually trying to train.
โช Easy to use: Wrap them around a dumbbell handle just like you would a barbell.
๐ Grip support: They can help when your hands are cutting a set short.
๐ต Great for pulling: Think heavier dumbbell rows, shrugs and similar exercises.
Genuinely though some called them Deadlift Strips, they are generally just "LIFTING" Straps, meaning they are perfect for pulling event, or pulling machine you might use in the gym and you find that Grip is the limiting factor.
We would always recommend you build your grip and get comfortable with the movements first. But as the weights get heavier, they're a really handy bit of kit to have in your gym bag.
